Clearly their were no trained intelligence officers involved in said third rate burglary.

Nor any right wing FBI agents.

Slightly OT Hypothetical Legal Question :

Letā€™s say the Dems win the House & Trump fires Rosenstein. Now, Mueller finishes up & files his report to the guy that was just confirmed, Brian Benczowski, who decides heā€™s going to bury the most damaging findings on Trump. Can the Dem Chairman subpoena Muellerā€™s original report ?

"My name is Raymond J. Johnson Jr.

Now you can call me Ray,
or you can call me J,
or you can call me Johnny,
or you can call me Sonny,
or you can call me Junie,
or you can call me Junior;

now you can call me Ray J,
or you can call me RJ,
or you can call me RJJ,
or you can call me RJJ Jr. . .
but you doesnā€™t hasta call me Johnson!"

*And from my point of view, any of those words above in the article cover Russian espionage. All I care about is that Iā€™d appreciate it if you didnā€™t call Mariiiiia Butina a fucking Russian gymnast or prima ballerina from the Bolshoi Ballet. Borscht Bitch however works for me.

If your aim is to cause mayhem sheā€™s just as useful as a burnt asset as she was when she was active.
