That tapping sound is Mueller’s conductors baton on the music stand, bringing his orchestra to order after the warmup. Now the opera begins in earnest.

1. Yup, The Board is Set, The Game is Afoot

Mueller is a master. Trump is.....Trump.

2. Might as well kiss his security clearance goodbye

But damn, what sweet words.

Since the criminal justice system has to function quietly and slowly, the accused has had ample and uninterrupted time to sow the seeds of dissent and misdirection.

That changed yesterday. The cavalry has arrived.

Body shaming* is a no-no on DU

*Chris Christie is fair game

5. Technically, the tapping sound comes after what is known as the

"chiarivari" -- the sound the orchestral players make after they've come on stage and try out a few notes, THEN the conductor comes out. But the orch hasn't technically warmed up until the conductor arrives.

As an ex-orchestral player I can't wait until THIS conductor arrives.
