Adding to what has already been a truly bizarre day, even by Washington D.C. standards, NBC is now reporting that even Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has been forced to 'lawyer up,' as the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference progresses.

According to NBC's Katy Tur, Cohen has hired Washington, D.C., attorney Stephen M. Ryan and is expected to testify before the House Intelligence Committee on September 5th.

Rep. Joe Kennedy introduced a bill to fight back against 'russian meddling' that will establish a 'National Russian Threat Response Center', whose goal will be to fuck with Russia on a regular basis. What is the point of such an idiotic layer of expensive bureaucracy? After all, isn't it the job of the lauded '17 intelligence agencies' to already do this job? I suppose this is the reward for all of this Russian bullshit, a great big payoff that will employee more deep staters, lavishing them with salaries, pensions, and healthcare benefits.

What exactly is going on at the Department of Justice today?  That is the question that everyone should be asking themselves right about now.

Just a couple of hours ago, ABC warmed the hearts of disaffected Hillary voters all around the country when they reported, courtesy of anonymous sources of course, that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had "privately acknowledged to colleagues that he may have to recuse himself from" overseeing Special Counsel Mueller's Russia probe (see our note: "Rosenstein Says He May Need To Recuse Himself In Russia Probe: ABC").

James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois, who aspired to end his life as a mass murderer of Republican Congressmen, was a Donald Trump hater and a Bernie Sanders backer.

Like many before him, Hodgkinson was a malevolent man of the hating and hard left.

One day after the Senate almost unanimously passed a bill to impose new sanctions on Russia, an unexpected outcry against the US decision emerged from two of America's closest allies, Germany and Austria, who yesterday slammed the new sanctions and accused the U.S. of having ulterior motives in seeking to enforce the energy blockade, which they said is trying to help American natural gas suppliers at the expense of their Russian rivals.
