( CNN) The nation is lost in a new swirl of Trumpian confusion over a potential scandal. This time the particulars involvea whistleblower's complaint about a possible security breach at the highest level and the proposal of a cover-up. Perhaps the only thing clear in this case is that once again President Donald Trump is calling the discordant tune.
True to form the President and his confederates are only adding to the chaos. In response to questioning from CNN's Chis Cuomo Thursday night, for example, Trump's personal lawyer and TV attack dog, Rudolph Giuliani, both denied and confirmed that the controversy may have to do with the fact that Giuliani has urged Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Biden is leading the pack of Democrat hoping to oppose Trump in 2020. Could it be that the President's lawyer is mixing politics and policy in an unsavory style?
As usual it's hard to follow the action, but what is known thus far should worry us all. According to various news outlets, the White House and Justice Department told the inspector general for intelligence matters there was nothing to the whistleblower's report that a high level official, most likely the President, communicated in some untoward style with a foreign leader.
