As we stupidly discuss LGBT dolls and various other idiocy .. there is THIS:

Special counsel Robert Mueller has asked the Justice Department to hand over thousands of documents related to the firing of FBI Director James Comey, including any communications between the White House and the DOJ around the time that Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the probe into Russia's election interference.

ABC News reported late Sunday that the document request came amid Mueller's continuing examination of whether Trump sought to obstruct justice when he fired Comey, who was leading the FBI investigation into potential collusion between Trump's campaign team and Russia.

The request for emails between the White House and the DOJ related to Sessions' recusal could help Mueller determine why Trump has projected anger that Sessions relinquished control over the campaign-related investigations to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in March. The recusal came after it was revealed that Sessions had at least two meetings with Russia's ambassador to the US during the campaign and failed to disclose them.

"Earlier reports indicated that Trump exploded when he found out about his recusal," said former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti. "That could be evidence of his state of mind because it is a highly unusual reaction to a recusal decision."

Mueller requests new documents from the DOJ that could spell trouble for Trump and Sessions

Think this'll be over soon? Think again!

No End in Sight for the Mueller Investigation
