What are those things? Some look like someone stuck marshmallow on plants and other ones look like some kinda weird growth. Fungus?

Just what you said. Some are gags, some are "growths," not necessarily fungus, but some natural (but not marshmallow) phenomenon.

Looks like today may be the public revelation of Stefan Halper as a key man in the government's effort to derail the Trump campaign and presidency.

My sense is the revelation will have little punch. That's okay ... a hard punch is on the horizon. Meanwhile, Halper revelation advances and fills in the picture of how the FBI inserted itself into a political opponent's efforts.

See, what we mean by "free" elections is that the FBI and CIA don't bill their political targets. They go after them for free.
