Pierce writes: "Any morning when you wake up and discover that the sitting Attorney General of the United States has been questioned by a special prosecutor on the subject of the president*'s complicity with thugs, hoodlums, international brigands, and Russian ratfckers is a day begun well, at least for scurvy political blogging types."

Koch network growing frustrated with the GOP’s 2018 agenda Charles Koch, the billionaire industrialist from Kansas, participates in his network's summer seminar last year in Colorado Springs. (James Hohmann/The Washington Post) BY JAMES HOHMANN with Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve THE BIG IDEA: Leaders of the conservative Koch political network are mad about President Trump’s tariffs, the failure to protect “dreamers” and runaway government spending.  They’re frustrated that congressional leaders do not feel a greater sense of urgency to pass more ambitious legislation during what could be the final six months of unified Republican control  for a long time .

( Send a bodyguard  to raid a doctor’s office? Yawn.) Barring something major, like firing special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, it’s not clear the daily outrages have much more downside.  And that’s good news for President Trump, who needs the upside of outrage to stay afloat. Though many who work in Washington are wary of saying it,  Trump’s big gambit has so
