Word has it that there’s about a dozen people still working at the White House who are terrified that the Mueller report is going to mention their names.

Why?

“They got asked questions and told the truth, and now they’re worried the wrath will follow,” one former White House official said.

Now ain’t that a damn shame?

One person close to the White House said there is “breakdown-level anxiety” among some current and former staffers who cooperated with the investigation at the direction of Trump’s legal team at the time.

I gotta tell you that I am deeply sorry that our country is in this state. However it’s hard for me to work up sympathy for the people who are scared. Why didn’t they get a better job? Think about it: “Trump White House” is not going to look too good on a resume. Hell, phone solicitor or Stormy Daniel’s stylist is a better job posting.

I guess we just have to watch Trump’s Twitter feed to know who told the truth.

A reader sent me this today from Facebook.

A 21 year old man has been charged with arson in three of the burnings and it is being evaluated by authorities as a hate crime.  He’s being held without bond.

He is not Isis or an immigrant. He is white and the son of a deputy sheriff.

St. Mary Baptist Church, which is in Port Barre, was the first church burned, on March 26/ The Greater Union Baptist Church in Opelousas burned a week later. On April 4, a fire destroyed Mount Pleasant Baptist Church on Highway 182 south of Opelousas.

No one was killed. This time.

In case you missed it, you’ll be happy to know that Ted Cruz has had some bad news in his life.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign is paying a $35,000 fine to the Federal Election Commission for failing to accurately report more than $1 million in loans that helped underwrite his first Senate bid.

But, $35,000 isn’t the end of it. He sure paid some lawyers a whole lot of money to lose.

If your eyesight is real good, you can see that Ted paid $19,631 to an Austin law firm to lose.  That makes me happy.  If you want to go nosing through his campaign expenditures have some fun.

But this is hilarious.

For the second time in several weeks, thieves have stolen the wheels off of Jackson [Mississippi] Police Department cars.

This time they got two cars, parked behind a museum in downtown Jackson.

In March, the last time it happened, the car was parked outside the west Jackson police training academy.  They took the tires and rims.

Thanks to Ted in Austin for the heads up.

So the Mueller report (or what is left of it) will be released on Thursday.  People have plans:

We’re in Texas so we’re stockpiling tamales, Topo Chico, and about a gallon of guacamole.  We’ll save the whiskey in case the report truly does exonerate Trump.

Just a heads up that I think may be totally on target.  What to look for in the Mueller report.

There ya go.
