<p><strong>Good morning, </strong>Day 43 of the Trump presidency \u2014 = week from halftime of the 100 days.</p><p><strong>I was chatting</strong>=with a smart Republican about the White House's Russia issues, and he said= "This is the rare case where the smoke IS the fire." What he meant is tha= even if the White House wound up being right that there's no "there" ther= (harder to see, with each day's revelations), the warning signs and botch=d reactions and mounting questions have themselves become huge problems fo= the President.</p><p><strong>So many of the players</strong> \u2014 b= slow-rolling, obscuring or trashing the facts <strong></strong> \u2014=strong> </strong>have made it LOOK like they have something to hide.</p><p=<strong>The Economist,</strong> granddaddy of smart brevity, distills it b=utally in "<a href="http://link.axios.com/click/9032729.36842/aHR0cDovL3=y5lY29ub21pc3QuY29tL2Jsb2dzL2RlbW9jcmFjeWluYW1lcmljYS8yMDE3LzAzL2RhemVkL=FuZC1yZWN1c2VkP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9j=W1wYWlnbj1uZXdzbGV0dGVyX2F4aW9zYW0/5871993924c17c54d77a8b8cBe876eee3" targ=t="_blank">Dazed and Recused</a>": "Jeff Sessions met the Russian ambass=dor, then said he didn't."</p><p><strong>Republicans close to the White Ho=se</strong> said events seem to be moving from the Distraction Zone to thenger Zone. Democrats see that the scandal and investigative machinery th=t was used against them in the Clinton administration can now be cranked u= to hobble this president, just as he heads into the months when he needs =o be putting legislative points on the board.</p><p><strong>MSNBC's Chris =atthews</strong> made a clarifying point, highlighted in Brian Stelter's "=eliable Sources" newsletter: "[W]e're only learning the truth of all these=endless meetings with the Russians because of good reporting ... We're get=ing great print coverage by the hour. And that's the only reason this admi=istration is admitting things. Trump didn't act on Flynn until it was expo by the press. The attorney general didn't recuse himself until today be=ause the report ran in today's newspapers. This is an administration being=driven by truth that's coming from somewhere else."</p><p><strong>Top Trum= officials </strong>tell us they authentically believe the Russian connect=on is less than meets the eye, and that their accusers and opponents are w=sting their time and breath. But it now looks like it would take months, a= the very least, for that to become clear \u2014 time carved out of th= fabled 100 days and the first year, which is the best and often only chan=e for a president to pass big things. </p><p><strong>This White House,</st=ong> so disruptive at campaigning, needs to do a self-oppo dive and get al= the facts it possibly can, so it at least knows what it's dealing with an= isn't reacting to media stories every night. Are the blanket denials true= or too lawyerly, or just wrong? </p><p><strong>What can Trump</strong> an= his team learn from past administrations that faltered or fell based on t=eir mishandling of a storm like this? There's been this long parade into t=e White House of CEOs, labor leaders and activists. The next luncheon shou=d be with historians. </p>
