Midknight Review -- new and revised: Russian Mania update: In short, we are winning and they are losing.

Maxine Waters is not going to get her wish. Looks like Paul Manafort is in trouble, but no similar signs for Trump. In fact, over the past six weeks, it has been difficult to find any serious mention of Trump as relates to the continue waste of time we are calling The Mueller Investigation.

So what is going to happen? Mueller will have to justify the immense waste of time and money that has been spent in this phony investigation.

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
