So many developing, hot button stories to talk about from this week. Yet so little time. Here are my quick takes on five of them.

Will Donald Trump Be Tried For Treason?

In the fevered swamps otherwise known as the DNC, nothing would be more welcomed than to completely and utterly delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency by making “treason” allegations stick.

But y’all, here’s a little tip: It’s not gonna happen. Legal eagle Jonathan Turley explains:

Folks, this news is about a surprising as singer Ricky Martin’s announcement last year that he was gay. They both made formal declarations just to make it officially official, but most of us already knew it well in advance. Okay?

About That Amelia Earhart “Post-Disappearance” Photo

On a lighter, more intriguing note, questions are now being raised as to whether or not a photo that was featured in a recent History Channel documentary was taken after the famous aviator disappeared in 1937. It’s unclear whether History’s ongoing investigation into the matter includes inquiries as to just what New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is doing in the photograph:
