Ivanka and Kushner not seen much lately, except to say they supported firing Comey. Rumour has it that they are busily moving money offshore.

Maybe the exPresidents have a weekly skype chat to commiserate.

That makes me think of the four old men from Asterix in Corsica who are always sitting together on a log, while they watch and comment on the action .

If you haven't read it:

Sources tell me Trump is looking to replace Spicer. He's interviewed at least two women you'd all recognized (not saying how right now).

cozietoesie · 11/05/2017 17:51

He probably saw that McCarthy piece that Lweji linked. Grin

Pain I saw something about Spicer possibly going and being replaced by a woman from Fox News?? The one that was initially in the running for the position before Spicer got it??

cozietoesie · 11/05/2017 17:55

The meeting was both impromptu and in the Senate SCIF? Smile

Pres. Trump admits to @LesterHoltNBC that his own WH claim that Comey firing was a response to DOJ is false, was going to fire "regardless"

JUST IN- Very reliable source:
There are witnesses to Trump threatening Comey to stop grand juries. That is criminal obstruction of justice.

TRUMP says he was going to fire Comey regardless of recommendation—says he asked Comey if he was under investigation snpy.tv/2pD4azr

It really does feel like things are starting to happen. I really, really, really hope they are.

If even a third of that is true..............

Lweji · 11/05/2017 18:32

Please say he's interviewed Kellyanne. Maybe the other one is the great Sarah Sanders (daughter of Bernie ;) )

Lweji · 11/05/2017 18:33

TRUMP says he was going to fire Comey regardless of recommendation

That matches reports that he asked for those "recommendations". He's not doing himself any favours.
Or, as The Colbert said, what seems with Trump, really is.

PerkingFaintly · 11/05/2017 18:34

Arrggh! STILL having trouble with video on this wretched machine, so can't watch that clip with Lester Holt.

But good grief 45 is so like my narcissistic self-absorbed relative. She simply can't believe that the world doesn't love her. And if it ever appears not to love her, surely this must be because of a misunderstanding! All will be put right by her just TALKING some more!

It's apparently never, ever, crossed her mind that what comes out of her mouth might be the cause of people disliking and distrusting her...

cozietoesie · 11/05/2017 18:34

He's not going to appoint Ms Sanders. Surely.

At this point, does it really matter if Russians are given access to the Oval Office without the NSA checks? It's not like they even need to plant bugs...

You have a point, Lweji. Grin

For me, it's more that the NSA Director went on record about this. Those guys are phobic. Wink
