Since when.

Remembering our Republican heroes of the past. Richard Nixon standing up to Khrushchev.

Who would have thought that Nixon was such a titan - at least compared to the current occupant of the White House.

And he is VERY likely sitting on tons of evidence that would contradict this notion.

Even if Trump fires Mueller, this investigation isn't going away. Didn't go away when he fired Comey.

They both know Russia interfered because they were both involved in it.

...my guess is any requests for info from Mueller to the intelligence agencies is being met with "turn out the lights and lock up when you''re finished."

Putin was never going to admit Russia's involvement in hacking our elections. Why should he? Trump doesn't admit it either because he can't allow that to become evidence that could be used against him. Trump can't let Russia be instrumental in getting him elected because then he becomes the loser, the illegitimate president without power or prestige, and without that image Trump is nothing more than the stupid, petty, grasping, bully he's always been.
