"puppy is thought to be descended from the French word for a doll, poupée, which makes it a distant relative of a clutch of other similarly diminutive-sounding words like puppet and poppet.
Earlier still, all four of these likely have their roots in the Latin words for “boy” and “girl”, pupus and pupa—which is also where the word pupil comes from, both in the sense of a school student and (albeit with a little bit of etymological imagination) the dark circular opening in the centre of the eye
Around the same time that puppy first came to mean “young dog” and not just “lap dog”, a figurative use of the word also began to emerge: because of the heedless, energetic behaviour of young dogs, in the mid sixteenth century puppy also began be used to refer to a naïve, credulous, or foolishly impertinent young man and woman."

Mueller's disclosure lists assets belonging to him and his spouse valued at a total of between $4.2 million and $15.2 million. The figures aren't precise because the form reports ranges of values, not specific amounts. In addition, some assets like residences and federal government retirement funds do not need to be reported.
Mueller's legal work for Facebook is notable because that company could potentially hold valuable data for his investigation.
Tech industry experts say Facebook and other companies, including Twitter and Google, could help Mueller establish whether there was any coordination or collusion between the Trump campaign officials who had access to critical voter data files — pinpointing key battleground counties and states, and key demographic groups inside them — and the alleged Russian government social media accounts that were pumping out pro-Trump and anti-Hillary Clinton messages at peak moments of the campaign.
Mueller also may have interest in the direct-messaging features available on Facebook and Twitter, as well as the Gmail accounts the campaigns used via Google. It’s also not uncommon for political operatives to use little-known Twitter handles to communicate information with one another. While congressional Democrats leading their probes into the Russia scandal have been pressing Facebook for answers, it’s unclear whether Mueller has. His office hasn’t commented about its interest in the tech company, and representatives from Facebook have also declined comment.

Financial disclosures were also released Tuesday for some lawyers Mueller has hired.
Aaron Zebley, Mueller’s former FBI chief of staff, left a $1.4 million-a-year job as a partner at WilmerHale to join the special counsel investigation. According to his disclosure, Zebley represented a range of corporate clients that included the NFL, Sony, Walt Disney Co., Apple, Citibank, Facebook, Booz Allen Hamilton, Levi Strauss, Pepsi and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachusetts. He also reported $10,000 in income in 2016 for writing Mueller’s speeches.
Zebley listed three confidential clients who can’t be named because they are part of an investigation or a grand jury proceeding that isn’t public.
Another former WilmerHale partner who joined Mueller's office, Jeannie Rhee, has been the focus of critics who contend that her legal work for the Clinton Foundation creates a conflict of interest. The foundation is listed as a client on her disclosure form.
Her form and the others that were just made public contain a notation from top Justice Department ethics official Cynthia Shaw: "No apparent conflicts of interest."
whoooooa.
