A post from Ginger, earlier, illegitimate. There was apparently an impromptu meeting - including Boente - in a Senate SCIF this afternoon.

PerkingFaintly · 11/05/2017 19:31

Actually that tweet just says "federal data", as part of a cyber security move.

So maybe I'm the one being dramatic.

But... an Executive Order. Why?

Sorry. He's the US Attorney for EV and in the AG Chain of command.

That is the most persistent I have seen the media during the pressers yet. Bringing up inconsistencies, asking her to explain them, demanding answers over and over, from journalist to journalist. She was definitely rattled.

Same presser: Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she's talked to a "large # of FBI employees" ... but doesn't know that many people at the FBI.

This. absolutely. She said she spoke to many FBI people that were happy Comey was fired, but when pressed for how many, just ballpark figure, she couldn't commit. It was pretty clear she was lying.

45 has a cell phone, Perking - and can Tweet. (After a fashion.) He thinks he's IT literate. Wink

Nope. It has begun. I can confirm with 100% the US Marshals are assisting FBI

I trust that Huckleberry was not 'condoning' leaking of private views from Federal employees? Smile

APPARENTLY, the firm raided has ties to BKSH. Smile

Did anyone see the Conway Cuomo interview yesterday? Conway got all worked up when Cuomo said Trump had asked Comey if he was under investigation. Looks like he was right.

He said something about that potentially being illegal. Anyone know if that's true?

I'm surprised WH staff haven't all slit their wrists by now, quit or all gone to hide in the woods.

The Comey fiasco is just another one where they can't get the President to keep his mouth shut and stick with the one explanation, after they looked like fools defending it.

Look at the way he's sitting in that chair. Body language experts would have a field day.

Bumbleymmy TBQH there is so much SCROTUS does that you'd think is illegal - we may not know until those tiny cuffs are on.

But it's good to know that Patriot Barbie still has no soul his back Wink

cozietoesie · 11/05/2017 21:23

I see he just tried to fling his campaign staff under the bus?

Orlantina · 11/05/2017 21:25

Love this conference.

Basically no one can believe what the spokespeople say until Trump says it.
