"There's no there, there" Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross literally says about the FBI's investigation into possible Russian collusion with popular vote loser Donald Trump's campaign.
In a rare response from a Trump Cabinet member, Ross told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday the inquiry is a "sideshow." He added, "This is all rumor. It's all innuendo."
Reacting to the appointment of former FBI Director Bob Mueller as special counsel to oversee the agency's Russian investigation, Ross said he hopes Mueller "brings the matter to a head," so the media can "go on to something else." […]
Commerce Secretary Ross, a billionaire who made his fortune investing in distressed assets, said the investigation is a distraction, but the president is still running the country effectively.
Ross said he sees "no reason" for the notion that the GOP policy agenda including tax cuts would be delayed.
He has interesting notions of what "effectively" means when it comes to running the country. It could be Ross is just whistling past the graveyard, hoping that the scope of Mueller's investigation does not extend to Paul Manafort's laundering of Russian money through the Bank of Cyprus—Wilbur Ross's Bank of Cyprus.
Oh, what a tangled web. Let's hope Mueller's brief does extend that far.
