And that's all they could come up with? Grin

Are the wheels starting to come off the Trump admin juggernaut?

Lweji · 20/03/2017 22:24

Admin official says White House was not informed DOJ gave Comey clearance to discuss Russia investigation today.

Maybe they should talk more.

Still, separation of powers and all that...

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 22:24

I mean, even if it were true - and the WH has certain........credibility issues right now - it's a DOJ issue and nothing to do with Comey. Wink

Just place marking.

They've been on the rims for some time, illegitimate - it's just that now they're starting to spark and judder.

Watching a few days old Colbert show.
He's interviewing the first and last Egyptian comedian to have a satire show in Egypt.

Anyway, he's saying: don't bother to diagnose the mole, just concentrate on getting rid of it.

He has a point.

I'd love to see what's been and is going on in the background.

Ivanka is getting an office in the West Wing, security clearance, a gov’t communications device. But no real WH job. www.politico.com/story/2017/03/ivanka-trump-white-house-236273

Marcipex · 20/03/2017 22:56

C'mon saffron, snuggle up, pretend I'm Teresa.

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 22:58

Surrounding yourself with people you personally feel comfortable with............

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:00

I suspect this move into the WH by Ivanka is going to ruffle a LOT of feathers. Especially in light of the fact that she has no official title or position - just voila, office and staff paid for by the government for what exactly? Because while she is not taking a salary, you can bet her staff will be, and she will have staff.

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:01

And she's apparently getting security clearance - I'd love to know on what basis she's getting this and what experience she has in government to justify this... oh wait, she has none....

Lweji · 20/03/2017 23:03

But, isn't she the "First" Lady?

Even with the "", surely she deserves staff.

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 23:05

I'll be interested to see if she ruffles feathers in the Inner Circle, Ginger. (And she comes with some 'baggage', remember.)
