Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

I have not blogged much about the Mueller investigation, because there are plenty of other people who have more and better things to say about it, and because it's trying to hit a moving target.  At this point, however, there are a few things worth noting.

First, Paul Manafort is at least as corrupt as you could've possibly imagined, and he's probably a great deal more corrupt than we know.  He was a perfect mark for Russian Kompromat efforts, and he has zero moral compass.

Second, these guys are flipping like pancakes.  That could mean that either they are so guilty and Mueller has so much dirt on them that they have no other options, or it could mean that they have no personal loyalty to anyone.  My guess is that it is both at once.

Looking at the people that Mueller is focusing on, and then looking at the speakers at CPAC, one can't help but notice that the "conservative" movement really does attract the very worst people.
