Good morning. I finished my drawing...having a problem thinking I'm finished. I always go through this after every drawing. I get really upset its not what I visioned. I didn't use the wet brush. Asking you...doesn't Hobby Lobby frame pictures? Seems like I've seen a large frame department there. Thankfully the sun is out here. We didn't have the storm we could here last night. It missed us.

Why didn't Mueller tell us this? He had no problem citing FBI's claim that Kilmnik has "ties" to Russian intel. And he did his best to suggest Mifsud was a Russian agent without directly calling him one (probably cause he has no evidence of it). Curious that this is claimed now.

New: Our deep dive on the “enigma” at the center of the Mueller probe, Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud. Trump allies claim he’s a Western intelligence agent. But we found lots of signs that point to Russia. W/ @PostRoz and @nakashimae

Officials familiar with U.S. intelligence reports told The Post that Mifsud had been identified by intelligence agencies as a potential Russian agent before he met Papadopoulos, an assessment drawn from reporting collected over several years.
That runs counter to the theory espoused by Trump allies like Devin Nunes and Rudy Giuliani, who has said, without offering evidence, that Mifsud was a “counterintelligence operative, either Maltese or Italian,” who took part a “counterintelligence trap.”
So why did we spend so much time on this, and why should you care? Attorney General Barr is now investigating the FBI/Mueller probe of Russian election interference and connections to the Trump campaign. Mifsud was in essence the impetus for that investigation.
If he really was a Western agent sent to create a pretext for the FBI investigation, that would be a scandal. And that theory has gained traction in influential circles, and has in essence been stoked by the president. Barr has also said there was “spying” on the campaign.
But there is no real evidence that Mifsud was working for the FBI, the CIA, or British intelligence, as has been variously alleged. And while it’s still unclear what role if any he played in the Kremlin’s 2016 campaign, Mifsud’s links to Moscow are real and verifiable.

And yet Mifsud seems to know Rep Jim Himes, Adam Schiff’s good buddy on the house intel committee.

Maybe Mifsud was really one of those FBI “undercover operatives” sent out to engage peripheral Trump campaign people in order to create predicate for spy-gate and provide cover for Brennan’s ongoing illegal electronic surveillance program outsourced to the Uk’s GCHQ

I'm wondering if some of Mueller's staffers are about to step into the next trap. Are they still going to try the coup strategy floated 2 years ago to accuse Deep State cover up artist Mueller of covering up Russian collusion to protect Trump & the FBI?
What will Congress do if anyone from Mueller's team tries to argue that Mifsud is a Russian spy & blame Mueller for covering it up?
Lying to Congress is a crime again thanks to Cohen...

I have a feeling the OIG Report is going to drop before Mueller testifies. Can you imagine that? He probably wouldn’t show up.
