A Republican close to President tells me Trump has been increasingly isolated in recent days. Frustrated, avoiding major public appearances

Oh well, someone should have said before that this was the standard Trump was measuring himself against. There we were thinking he was supposed to be the leader of an open and honest democracy or something crazy like that.

Good morning from Daytona Beach. @BetsyDeVosED speaks at B-CU's commencement @ noon. My curtain raiser: chroni.cl/2q2HxHT

So, is Comey still speaking at the senate intel panel on Thursday, because if so that is going to be a corker!

Urgh, bigly

JUST IN: Deputy Director Andrew McCabe will testify in place of James Comey for Senate Intel Committee hearing on worldwide threats Thursday

worldwide threats??

Picture posted of Trump sitting in an interview with Kissinger?!? Oh, the optics!

I don't know, Bigly. I presume he's still bound by the rules, however, even if so.

X post.

Trump praised Comey in October, then fired him Tuesday for that very conduct wapo.st/2qrVTmc

But they're 45's besties, Pain. I'm only surprised that they didn't curl up on the sofa!

Can anyone say "irony"??

Pence looks haggard.

The democrats were all called to their seats this morning at 9.30 - or so it was reported last night. Does anyone know what for or is it not something that'd be public knowledge?

One of the ex-DOJ officials the Rosenstein Memo cites is Jamie Gorelick. She is currently Ivanka's private lawyer.

How on earth can they replace Comey tomorrow, his testimony is surely his testimony and not someone else's.
