The Daily Beast has multiple sources claiming Steve Bannon is exploring ways to kneecap Mueller.
Which is pretty fucking incredible when you think about it.

Fresh from the WaPo: who's who in the Papadopoulos court documents.
IDd so far: Manafort, Lewandowski, Sam Clovis, Rick Gates and a couple of Russian agents.

Hard News: And so it begins ..., in reply to Stewart,
There’s a lot of Trump-supporting folks out there who are likely to take any impeachment proceeding personally, and to react correspondingly. Interesting times, indeed.
Especially that they're being fed an alternative reality at the moment by Sean Hannity et al.

Hard News: Communications breakdown, in reply to TracyMac,
Man, I really hate it when an organisation is addressed in a public forum about a public matter, and then tries to weasel their way into a private communication (where, of course, it’s easier to bullshit a single person with a whole lot of nothing statements).
Good on that person for shutting that down.
It does seem to be a conscious practice.

It comes down to a vote, right? 2/3 majority in the Senate, which has never happened, and probably won’t, unless a substantial group of Republican senators decide to ditch Trump.
It was two years from the day of first indictments until Nixon resigned, so there's a little way to go yet.
Of course, given the utter absence of a moral centre to today's Republican Party, it's hard to say what might happen politically in 2017.

Which could spark a lot more PR work/headaches for them as neighbourhood groups banded together to lobby for their local project to get priority over others.
I would not be entirely surprised to see things happen now that Watercare has discovered that the affected residents include our new Prime Minister.

Hard News: Communications breakdown, in reply to Christopher Dempsey,
The non-statutory – broken water mains – not so well. Perhaps we need to think of what kinds of important stuff needs to be moved to the statutory area so that it is done well?
The comparison I make is with Vector, whose website has a brilliant widget showing exactly where system failures are and roughly the affected area. Even simply having someone on deck to publish info about outages and estimated fix times would be useful.
And having the plan for a long-term fix being treated like a "I didn't tell you this" secret is just weird. I mean, this is happening every couple of weeks. We should be able to know.
