Just the Tip of a Big Whomping Iceberg!

Yes, back to the intrigue...

What is unfolding? Maybe it's not so important what bodily fluids Trump may or may not have exchanged with prostitutes at a room in the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow back around the Miss Universe pageant a couple years ago.

Except, of course, maybe it's a bit of "leverage" the Russians would want to use to motivate, to extort Trump.

Maybe it's just as important to follow the money and influence that may or may not have been exchanged with Russian Oligarchs, the Russian Mob, and Russia's very own Tinpot Despot. Trump's team is made up of some sordid, shady characters who seem to have deep ties to a hostile foreign power!

Maybe this flood of stories hitting all the newspapers and cable tv outlets is just the tip of big whomping iceberg?

I am confident we will find out. It's all too juicy of a story to go away. The little political narrative of the improbable new Maverick coming to shake up Washington D.C. has been erased. Blotted out. Not the story!

Now we have our very own real-life "Manchurian Candidate."   And as Josh Marshall says it's also a bit of a "Hall of Mirrors:" - "Everything we are hearing is disjointed, half-contradictory, actions are taken that have no clear rationale or explanation behind them. It is not just troubling. Much of it simply doesn't fit together."

And there's a new twist, Israel's largest daily newspaper is reporting that: U.S. Intel Sources Warn Israel Against Sharing Secrets with Trump.

Holy Shite! This is not normal...

"The Americans implied that their Israeli colleagues should “be careful” as of January 20, Trump’s inauguration date, when transferring intelligence information to the White House and to the National Security Council (NSC), which is subject to the president. According to the Israelis who were present in the meeting, the Americans recommended that until it is made clear that Trump is not inappropriately connected to Russia and is not being extorted – Israel should avoid revealing sensitive sources to administration officials for fear the information would reach the Iranians."
