Someone asked me if I was planning to put myself forward for one of the digital advisor panels and I said "Not if Clare Curran is minister". I try not to criticise her too much (ex sister-in-law) but I am not expecting anything startling in the broadcasting or ICT sectors while she is in place. Bags of enthusiasm but no real nous in this area. Trouble is that Labour hasn't got anyone better for ICT. Gareth Hughes would have been a good choice, IMHO.

I've just heard that Paul Manafort's son-in-law has flipped.
And there are also reports (on MSNBC so grain of salt) that Giuliani's defence is now:
1) DOJ policy advises against indicting a President (true)and
2) It is legal to get political dirt “from a Russian” (false)
[edit: this is apparently from Laura Ingraham's show on Fox, which I cannot bring myself to watch, but he did say this.
The Special Counsel can ask the Deputy Attorney General to waive the DOJ policy, just by the bye]
I think we're getting to the endgame, folks

In semi-related news, the Senate has released the transcript of Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony
TL;DR he lied.

Yeah, this dangerous dispensationalist Christian craziness has been present in successive Republican administrations since Reagan. But it does seem even more dangerous with Trump in office.
It's all good fun until someone loses an eye for an eye.
The lunatics have control of the asylum, and they want to burn it down.

And today … Trump’s compulsory financial disclosure confirms that he did pay Cohen back, and chose to leave that information out of last year’s disclosure.
In other words, Trump released some information after he was caught out.
