Grasswire2's JournalLot of chatter tonight on twitter about a United States of America jet that landed in St. Maarten..
...yesterday. Speculation about who might have ordered that jet and who was on it, and why. Many oligarchs there with yachts and planes, too.

Does Putin want Trump to abandon Japan?

MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the United States’ military presence in Japan was complicating the search for a formal peace treaty between Moscow and Tokyo.
Russia and Japan have been in dispute for seven decades over island territories captured by Soviet troops in the last days of World War Two. As a result, they have still not formally ended hostilities.
Putin told reporters at his annual news conference that Moscow was concerned by the deployment of a U.S. air defense system in Japan.
US Envoy to "anti" ISIS resigns due to Trump's withdrawal.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Brett McGurk, the U.S. envoy to the global coalition fighting the Islamic State group, has resigned in protest over President Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, a U.S. official said, joining Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in an administration exodus of experienced national security figures.
Only 11 days ago, McGurk had said it would be “reckless” to consider IS defeated and therefore would be unwise to bring American forces home. McGurk decided to speed up his original plan to leave his post in mid-February.

The report on NBC of Mueller ending probe in Feb. is not confirmed.
It's the 7th time this story has been floated.
It's poorly sourced, and should not have been reported.
My prediction, considering the events of today.
I believe that in the fourteen days until Congress re-convenes with a Democratic House, Vladimir Putin will order Trump to do something(s) so destructive to the Constitution or the Separation of Powers or America's position in the world that some sort of chaos will happen.
I don't know what it will be. It might be series of things.
Just today, Trump took three actions, two of which were dictatorial power grabs.
1. The dropping of sanctions that had been imposed by a vote of Congress.
2. The surprising order to withdraw troops from Syria without any consultation with military officers or state department.
3. The sale of patriot missiles to Turkey after a conversation with Erdogan the other day.
He is doing the bidding of Putin, while doing the opposite of expected policies.
Is this simply Trump's headstrong impulsivity?
Or is a progression of orders coming from Putin in a Kremlin plan to deliver chaos to America?
BOOM: Pence, Flynn, Elijah Cummings..... wrap it all up Seth Abramson.

what is the mysterious "something" about Cohen's wife and her father that Trump alluded to?
Something that might be the reason Cohen didn't fully cooperate?
It was also obliquely mentioned on MSNBC.
What is it?
