This one has legs. The MSM is sinking its teeth into it. There's going to be a lot of rolling disclosure about who was involved. The two most likely points of contact between Russia and TrumpWorld (if any exists) would seem to me to be Manafort and Roger Stone. This really could be yuge.

The Drumpf swish.

Look back at this clip and just watch his face.

Yeh, he overreacted to it. The microexpressions tell it all.

We may literally have a foreign government, and a hostile one at that, with a huge amount of control over what our country does and doesn't do.

The electors need to step up.

"I think, to be candid with you, that you will see the General Assembly look to reassert its constitutional authority in areas that may have been previously delegated to the executive branch," said Lewis, a Republican, according to The News and Observer in Raleigh. He added that Republicans may "work to establish that we are going to continue to be a relevant party in governing this state."

Pressed on whether lawmakers would seek to change the governor's power to appoint officials, including members of the state elections board, Lewis said, "I think you're on the right track."
