    Pres. Trump muddles the question of whether he can be indicted after leaving office (Mueller said yes) and the question of whether he'd have been indicted if a private citizen (Mueller said yes, then backtracked). Trump wraps his confusion around an insult toward a journalist.

    Asked if he was concerned he could be indicted once he's left office, Pres. Trump responds angrily, saying "all of those problems having to do with crime were the biggest hoax of all," and accusing the reporter who asked of being "fake news."

    There are a lot of stupid things that China has done and may do. But the ultimate stupidity would be to dispatch the Chinese People's Liberation Army to crush the protests in Hong Kong, and it's sad to see Beijing thinking aloud about this option.

    Mueller explicitly backs away from his comment to Rep. that Trump would have been indicted but for the OLC opinion. Mueller says that that is not quite correct, and he reverts to his standard phrasing that he did not reach a view on that. An important backtrack.

    Three cheers for Iran's women's rights activists! Whether a woman wants to cover or not is her decision and no one else's. I hope the Nobel Peace Prize this year goes jointly to imprisoned Iranian and Saudi feminists Nasrin Sotoudeh and Loujain al-Hathloul.
