What's Going On?

This is such a weird moment in American history.

Front and center, POTUS is openly stating that he breached protocols separating Justice and Executive -- possible grounds for impeachment -- even implicating his own staff and VP in the spread of lies by directly contradicting everything that they had been saying for the past two days.

With the media focused on the circus, they haven't quite yet realized the magnitude of the big picture: Trump's campaign and his associates are involved in multiple grand juries covering dozens of indictments and now, the first of the raids have begun.

Most people don't quite realize that there are three veins of criminal investigations and they're not necessarily all under the tent of the FBI.

  • Vein A: Russian interference and the collusion question.
  • Vein B: Illegal Russian money (wiretap fraud, tax evasion, violations of sanctions) involved in Trump, his corporation, and people associated with Trump.
  • Vein C: Skirting of laws by various Trump associates, related to influence peddling by Russia.
Are they all tied together? If they are, then the big picture is so grotesquely large that it will eclipse Watergate and become the impetus to turn protocols and rules into laws.
