We’re less than an hour away from inaugurating Donald Trump as president, and this is what’s on the front page of the New York Times:
American law enforcement and intelligence agencies are examining intercepted communications and financial transactions as part of a broad investigation into possible links between Russian officials and associates of President-elect Donald J. Trump, including his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, current and former senior American officials said.
….As president, Mr. Trump will oversee those agencies and have the authority to redirect or stop at least some of these efforts….Of the half-dozen current and former officials who confirmed the existence of the investigations, some said they were providing information because they feared the new administration would obstruct their efforts. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the cases.
This is unreal. Surely it deserves a cat to take our minds off what’s about to happen?
