But soft, what smell from yonder D.C. wafts.
It is the east.
And Trump stinks.
Stay upwind my friends.
President Trussia is reportedly to sign an EO establishing a Voter Fraud Commission. Here will be the accusations: 1) Dead people are registered (true of course, but no evidence that anyone is voting that ballot) and someone COULD be using that ballot, you can't prove it hasn't happened. 2) People are registered in more than one place. (True of course, people move. There have been several convictions of R voters for voting twice. I assume that historically some D voters have also committed this offense) Hundreds of thousands of people COULD be doing this, you can't prove it doesn't happen. 3) Mexicans are illegally registered. (In CO County Clerk staff are encouraged, when someone gets be a driver's license, to ask the if they'd like to register to vote. Undoubtedly, some folk ineligible for the franchise have be registered without foul intent and a few have voted) 3 million Mexicans have voted!
This Commission is nothing but useless distraction and I'll predict that most energy will go toward the Mexican voter

WOTD "Trump Dignity Wraith"
(Word of the Day)
From Josh Marshall: The Wraithing of Rod Rosenstein
…
…
Rumors of "things" going down today in Washington.
Deputy AG Rosenstein and US Attorney Boente (who is running the grand jury on the Russia/Trump investigation in Virginia) were seen at the US Senate today, and apparently called an "emergency" meeting with Sens. Richard Burr and Mark Warner (the chair and ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, respectively). The meeting was held in a secure room (SCIF). Whatever it was, it was important enough that the two left the open meeting with acting FBI director McCabe. With Boente in the meeting and the urgency of it, my guess is that there is something about the investigation that's reached a decision point – perhaps an agreement with Michael Flynn, or perhaps some highly important new fact? This doesn't seem like a re-assurance meeting or even a special prosecutor decision; it wasn't scheduled in advance at all…
Also, there are reports coming out of Annapolis that a GOP consulting and fundraising firm is being raided.
All of this is really early – no useful details yet (and we might not get details from the meeting for some time…).
In the far-out, won't believe this until I see it department, a prolific blogger by the name of Louise Mensch (Former UK Conservative MP, now US resident) says her sources are saying this has turned in to a massive international RICO investigation involving laundering Russian money through the GOP and that Sen. Hatch (Sen. President pro tempore) is the top official in the line of succession that isn't tied to the deed.
Hey – it's something to fuel the imagination…
The GOP affiliated consulting firm / fundraising group is apparently the Strategic Campaign Group, touted as a pioneer in the use of technology for campaign planning.
dKos has a diary that's beginning to track down their clientele. Looks like the common theme might be scam GOP PACs. The list includes at least three PACs all including the involvement of one Scott McKenzie. The typical scam involves minor (<10%) expenditures on actual candidate advocacy, lots and lots of operational overhead.
Phoenix, that's really disturbing. Hatch is three years older than dirt and watching him on C-Span, it's pretty clear his cookies are beginning to slide off the platter. That takes us right into The Yam's kleptocracy of a cabinet. How far down do we have to go to find one of them who is both reasonable capable and reasonably honest?
