In his hit song, Johnny Cash asks about flooding: “How high’s the water momma? She answers 2 feet, then 3, then 4, and then 5-feet high and risin.”

We may now ask S/C Robert Mueller how hot’s the investigation temp? According to this latest report from the New York Times here – I’d have to say 120° in the Oval Office shade and risin’…

Intro and Highlights:

WASHINGTON — Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trump’s most scrutinized actions since taking office, including the firing of his national security adviser (Michael Flynn) and FBI Director (James Comey), according to White House officials.

Mr. Mueller is also interested in an Oval Office meeting Mr. Trump had with Russian officials in which he said the dismissal of the FBI director had relieved “great pressure” on him.  (See the two photos above).

Mr. Mueller has also requested documents about the circumstances of the firing of Michael T. Flynn, who was Mr. Trump’s first national security adviser.

Additionally, the special counsel has asked for documents about how the White House responded to questions from The Times about a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that was set up by Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, to get derogatory information from Russians about Hillary Clinton.

(Note: You may recall that Trump Jr. corrected the meetings attendees and purpose at least three different times, but his own documents caught him in the trial of lies).

More on that Oval Office meeting a mere one day after Trump fired Comey is also nicely covered here from NPR wherein Trump specifically says to the two Russians: “I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”

(I also note: It sure looks like the two Russians had a hearty guffaw upon hearing the news about the Comey firing, or so it appears?)

Finally, the temp inside the White House – more specifically the Oval Office is —for sure it's high and risin' and getting more intense and focused.

Stay tuned – we surely are witnessing a historical moment – more so and more intense than Watergate or anything before or since in American political history. Bet on it.

Thanks for stopping by.
