This is literally what the Mueller inquiry is so I don't see whats new?

This is really dense, but I think it explains the new development: https://www.lawfareblog.com/what-if-obstruction-was-collusion-new-yorks-timess-latest-bombshell

The general idea is that there's "collusion", then Trump butting in and possibly obstructing justice afterwards. In other words, two separate things, requiring two different investigation scopes.

What the NYT is basically saying is that they're the same thing. The obstruction was PART OF the collusion. Therefore, Mueller can look into absolutely everything and it avoids a lot of the weird "can the President obstruct justice?" constitutional questions. It's all tied together.

Gabbard is a real piece of poo poo so she's pretty much no better than a republican in my eyes.

Gabbard is just like greenwald to me - fights from the left which is good, but then has this weird level of sympathy and appreciation for the far right that makes me not trust them at best and makes me suspect they have some really dark views at worst.

I thought Mueller was more generally investigating Russia's influence on the election. This is a lot more specific.

It's very funny that Clancy had roughly 10,000 subplots about politicians secretly working with foreign powers and in exactly 0 of these was it a republican. So close.

Friend of mine works in a polling firm. Apparently, many of the firms that she's gone to seeking campaign help has been wary of her because they don't see her getting far and realize she's just going to be a shitter yelling that the DNC is conspiring against her rather than the fact she's a terrible candidate.

The yellow vests protest in France have been flying under the radar, but they've been going at it for two months straight. I was actually in Paris when it was beginning to heat up and it was an interesting scene, although I never felt unsafe.

Anyway, gas leak or domestic terrorism? Who knows

PARIS — A powerful explosion tore through a bakery in central Paris on Saturday morning, killing at least two firefighters and leaving smoke, flames and scattered debris in its wake, the authorities said.

The police and city authorities said the blast, which occurred on Rue de Trévise, was believed to have been caused by a gas leak.

Navy finds miracle cure after child with terminal illness is hazed nearly to death and taken to medical. After 800MG of motrin, a fresh pair of socks and a motivational speech by first sergeant the childs cancer went into remission.

follow up evaluation shows the cancer has not made a comeback thanks to a steady daily regimen of kodiak dip and marrying a local stripper to get out of the barracks.
