What A Week ...
So much to write about, so little time!
Here we go...
If you missed Mark Zuckerberg's (CEO of Facebook) testimony on Capitol Hill yesterday, about unfair practices, the Cambridge Analytica mess and liberal bias, here's a link to watch in entirety. Ted Cruz's 5 minutes of grilling the Z were THE best! You won't be bored and you'll learn ALOT about how Facebook operates. Listen if you have some spare time. Especially the first couple of hours.
Btw, Zuckerberg will be testifying again today at 10. Can be live streamed on C-SPAN or watched on FNC.

In regards to the FBI raid on POTUS Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen initiated by Robert Mueller, Special Counsel.
I was out and about when I heard this and literally dropped my jaw in pure astonishment. I couldn't believe it!
Of course the pretext is to learn if there was any wrong doing by Trump's attorney in relation to the Stormy Daniels fiasco. If not familiar with the issue, here's a brief description.
POTUS had a brief one night stand w/Porn Star Daniels something like 12 years ago while married to Melania. This is according to Stormy's own version as seen on 60 Minutes a week or so ago. In relation, Michael Cohen paid Daniel's $130K for her to keep quiet. Out of his own pocket. Trump claims he knows nothing about that.
Bottom line, Mueller's team is using the situation hoping to make something out of nothing by giving authority to a NY District Attorney to search ALL personal attorney-client privilege info between Cohen and Trump.
The above is absolutely outrageous. No doubt in my mind, the above opens the door to extend harassing Trump and anyone who works for or with him by an additional entity other than the Special Counsel.
It's also a back up plan where Trump can still be investigated if he decides to gets rid of Mueller and Rosenstein down the road.
For a detailed blow by blow of the above, here's a link from Axios:

Next is the mind blowing situation happening in Syria with Assad allegedly, once again, gassing his own people. No doubt some form of military action will be taken by the U.S. and several allies, possibly including even Israel. When and actually where action will take place is not known and it shouldn't be. But it's going to happen at some point.
Meanwhile, Devin Nunes, House Intelligence Committee Chairman is still waiting for documents in regards to the Trump Russia probe from the FBI and DOJ. Why can't they just hand over the FISA warrant, a 2 page document?
Of course we know the true reason.
They're slow walking things cause they know the document will possibly ruin the reputations of several senior officials in both departments as well as many, many others connected with the Obama administration and Clinton people. They also don't want this info coming out BEFORE the mid-term elections.

Last and just out, Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House will be retiring after his term ends in January. Who will be the next SOTH? Haven't a clue. A true Conservative would be great. Maybe someone from the Freedom Caucus. But I doubt it this will happen. The Swamp will not allow it.
Phew! A lot happening politically that it's almost impossible to keep up. On to watching news of Ryan's impending retirement, Zuckerberg's continuing testimony and more...
