Quite a week, wasn’t it? The American President is back on the ground here in The Swamp after a breathtaking turn on the NATO-UK-Russia relationship front.

I watched most of the coverage and was mystified as it unfolded. The Strzock, Page and Mueller indictments last week all cascaded as the President excoriated Germany for fair trade and treaty performance.

Throw in the World Cup finals and it was nearly a perfect storm of a weekend. Vive la France! I listened in Spanish coverage to get it real time. I felt bad for Croatia, and was amazed at the display of sportsmanship when the match ended.

Now that our President is back, we can resume domestic bickering. I still do not understand what happened while he was gone. What did NSA disclose in our cyber capabilities to get the indictments on the Russian GRU officers?

Who authorised the release of all this information while the President was traveling? And why?

Looks like rain today. Will have try to swim early.
