Heard this morning, and just about every day if you watch MSNBC, we hear “where there's smoke, there’s fire” in discussions about the Mueller probe.
Literally, if you have smoke in your house there may not be an active fire. However, if you see, or even smell, smoke you’d better call the fire department before your house is engulfed in flames.
Any non-brainwashed observer is aware that when it comes to Trump being implicated in Russian attempts to influence the election there hasn’t been so much smoke since Krakatoa erupted.
While listening to Trump and his obsequious chorus of fawning sycophantic nauseating surrogates from the newly ordained Trumpohile egomaniac and nasty man Rudy Guiliani to Jeannie Pirro, Sarah Sanders, Sean Hannity, and the others I thought of another, albeit more literary, cliche which is applicable.
Although in common usage people say “methinks the lady doth protest too much” in the real line from Hamlet “methinks” is at the end. Nevertheless, the meaning is the same. Queen Gertrude says this when she sees the overacting of a character in the play within a play created by Prince Hamlet to prove his uncle's guilt in the murder of his father, the King of Denmark.

I’m not the first and won’t be the last to say that if Trump was really innocent all he would have to do is simply say so and stop ranting and raving, and order his minions to shut up. If he was innocent all he would have to do is say that he is anxious to put this behind him and supports Mueller fully because he knows he will be vindicated.
