"Trump is certainly aware of the various tendrils of Mueller's criminal
investigations, which have spawned numerous probes in federal offices in
Washington, D.C., New York and Virginia.", from

SL Intro, p 15:

"I was more concerned with committing on paper a variety of abuses, such as
overwriting. I will spare everybody a detailed discussion of all the
overwriting that occurs in these stories, except to mention how distressed I
am at the number of tendrils that keep showing up. I still don't know for
sure what a tendril is. I think I took the word from T.S. Eliot. I have
nothing against tendrils personally, but my overuse of the word is a good
example of what can happen when you spend too much time and energy on words
alone."
