WELL, WELL: Even before Mueller was appointed, FBI opened investigation to “rein in” Trump. Note that they were planning an obstruction probe even before Comey was fired. Leaked to CNN because it’s friendly media, meaning they thought it was about to come out somewhere less friendly. This is huge, and people should go to jail.

Put this together with the collusion between the press and federal prosecutors and the “Deep State” narrative looks pretty solid.

Good hypothesis Glenn... “Leaked to CNN because it’s friendly media, meaning they thought it was about to come out somewhere less friendly.”

Who on Earth would leak this to CNN who wanted to get this out unless it was a preemptive move?! This gives fake news the spin-control.

Trump has at least exposed the ridiculous fiction that Fed.gov (especially intelligence and law enforcement) are “unbiased, law-abiding professionals working for the good of the American people.”

Try as hard as the deep-state and their media propaganda arms are doing, I don’t think they can put that genie back in the bottle.

To your point though, that’s ALL we have at this point. IMHO, the deep-state power is still quite secure. No one, except a few collateral casualties like Manafort, will go to jail.
