special counsel

Showdown at the Mueller corral: Rod Rosentstein beats Mueller to the draw.

What is this? This turnabout? What the heck (or insert other deprecatory nouns here)? Is this the "Et tu, Rod?" moment. We have on one hand (or paw) Robert Swan Müller assembling a team of of rabid anti-Trumpers, scattered in with a few more moderate anti-Trumpers, going about the Inquisition of Cozy Bear with the dedication of Robespierre, the cleverness of Göbbels, and the money of [insert your favorite funder here--oh, it's us!]

Mueller's retention as special counsel: a lesson from history

Although the two incidents upon which I report are vastly different in scale, there is a commonality between the two. And therein is a lesson for today's political witch hunt. We are aware of an internal coup attempted against Der Führer's life in July, 1944 in Operation Valküre. This plot did not succeed. No further significant intrinsic German attempts were made against Hitler's life, at least in part to A.H's extermination of all suspected plotters and sympathizers.
