Big doings behind the scenes at the side show while everyone's in the Big Tent watching the circus.

He's going down as well as Pence and the GOP. I bet the intelligence agaencies have confirmation the rethug party knew what was happening and became willing participants. We will have a constitutional crisis this year. How we pick up the pieces depends on who emerges as leader of the
Anti chump group. MAybe Obama will come back briefly.
