This is shaping up to be a very, very bad week for Trump. And sad. But mostly, bad. Very bad.

NSA Director Mike Rogers poised to ‘drop a bomb’ on Trump admin during Wednesday testimony: MSNBC

Rogers will testify Wednesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is currently investigating whether President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian officials to sway the results of the 2016 election.

“We now know for certain that Vladimir Putin waged political warfare against America’s democracy with the election last year,” said Mother Jones magazine’s David Corn. “While that’s going on, Donald Trump is saying, ‘No, it’s not happening.’ It’s like a guy in front of a bank robbery saying, ‘Nothing is going on here.’ He was helping.”

“He made it easier for Putin to pull this off,” Corn said. “That in itself should be a big scandal.”

“While a lot of people have focused on James Comey and that’s obviously a huge anchor in this,” Clemons said at the end of the segment, “watch the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings on Wednesday. National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers may have a bomb to drop in this, as well as Dan Coates. I have been tipped off that Mike Rogers has a story to tell as well that goes right along the lines that our friend David Corn has shared.”

Till this year.

This is a huge huge deal. John Schindler has been saying that NSA is at battle stations against this president. That is consistent with these reports on Rogers.

Hasn't President Trump told you all that there's no evidence, he's been totally cleared, and Putin has corroborated his story, and affirmed that everyone is completely innocent of all these fake charges? Why do you people keep looking into this? It's not fair!

...in which it was observed that in Putin's latest interviews, he's reading largely word-for-word from Trump's script (which probably was Putin's script to begin with).

Trump knows this is Hell Week. I just posted this:

"Trump Shifts To Infrastructure As James Comey Prepares To Testify
An opportunity to provide some counter-programming to the drumbeat of Russia news." (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-infrastructure-comey_us_59342c95e4b075bff0f470a)

I expect him to be in full denial / deflect mode this week.
