Putin’s KGB-inspired maneuvering has all the earmarks of a carefully planned, professionally executed war game. But it's not a game.Whiplash. It happened so swiftly, but with such surgical precision, the full impact of the series of events took a few breathless moments for the nation to grasp what had just occurred.

Andrew McCabe, deputy director of the FBI, resigns under pressure.

Literally minutes after the committee vote, the Trump administration announces it will NOT impose sanctions on Russia even though both the House and the Senate voted nearly unanimously for the sanctions that would punish Russia specifically for meddling in the 2016 presidential election, for annexing Crimea in 2014 and for its incursions in Ukraine.

And that was just Monday.
