12. A couple things

strike me as interesting about the upcoming week. Odd as it might sound, I am hoping that Trump does another shitload of tweeting in the post-midnight through early morning hours of Monday. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

More important, perhaps, will be the elfin Jeff Sessions's behaviors. As you know, investigators enjoy applying strategic pressure, and watching their prey's reactions. Sessions is now requesting a meeting with the "appropriate" Senate committee on Tuesday, to answer any questions that Mr. Comey's testimony may have raised. His request to meet on Tuesday suggests that he does not want to give them time to be fully prepared, meaning to focus exclusively on the Mayflower incident.

However, their staff has already prepared questions regarding three other concerns. The first has to do with why he allowed Trump to send him out of the Oval Office, leavinbg Mr. Comey there alone with the president? Second, what was his response to Comey's discussion regarding the need to serve as the go-between with Trump and the FRBI? And third, what discussions did he have with Trump in the 72 hours before Comey was fired?

Keep in mind, all three of these are very, very closely related.
