And I don't *know* anything beyond what I read online, know from history, or speculate about. I've plenty of doubt but have come to favor "Trump's Razor" <a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-scythian-slice-of-trump-s-razor" rel="nofollow">(as described by Josh Marshall of "Talking Points Memo")</a>. That is, when it comes to Trump, “ascertain the stupidest possible scenario that can be reconciled with the available facts” and that answer is likely correct. But I believe the following: This Russia thing is bigger than Watergate. Like an order of magnitude bigger. It will unfold faster than Watergate. At least 2x. The Constitution and the rule of law will prevail. Act V ends with optimism. (minor edits) Seriously

I'm going to be out of town on Eclipse day, deep in the Land of the Deplorables, far from home. The last thing I need is to be stranded out there when it hits the fan. Come to think of it, that would be a great day for the Chinese, the N Koreans, the Iranians, the terrorists or the Syrians to try something, half the country will be out on the road or waiting in airports. It would be chaos. Only an attack on Superbowl Sunday would be more devastating. Don’t scare me that way, Pod.
