With the articles about manipulating Trump and those Broadsword tweets earlier, it's not beyond the wit of man that he could be deliberately prodded by different parties working in a concerted way. Both a frightening and pleasing thought simultaneously.

Kellyanne initially campaigned against Trump. Then she was enrolled in his campaign after her candidate got booted out.

I suspect she does it mostly for media presence. She probably thought of it as another job, then she enjoyed the limelight, now she's stuck because she's lost all credibility.

Spicer probably the same.

They're both riding the tiger.

I'd guess the deliberate prodding by co-ordinating parties has been going on a long time. It's just now the game has spread down the food chain, and we're hearing about it.

It's considered 'satire' and true satire is protected from libel laws.

Trump's treatment of women, his ego, his shady deals are things that are well known and there are examples of them in the public eye so those things are open to satire. But if they were to use satire to imply that he was a paedophile, abused animals, beat his wives (things he doesn't really have a reputation for) that would more than likely cross the 'satire' line into libel.

Oops! Didn't refresh. I was referring to prior posts about SNL.

Sean Spicer tries to frame Trump's firing of Comey as selfless: "He knew it could be detrimental for himself" but was best "for the country"

Interesting—Spicer still won't confirm or deny that Trump is recording conversations: "The President has nothing further..." (via @MSNBC)

JUST IN: Dep AG Rod Rosenstein will brief all 100 Senators RE: Comey's firing on Thursday, May 18th at 2:30 P.M

So the only options are: 1. Spicer didn't ask Trump if he's taping others. 2. He did ask but Trump won't say. 3. There are tapes.

Perhaps these aides are smarter than @realDonaldTrump gives them credit for.

Pelosi says that Dems will file a 'discharge petition' to force a vote on a bill to establish an outside commission on Trump-Russia.

Moon will likely be watching all this anxiously. He needs a nice, happy, winning, 45.

Sally Yates interview with Anderson Cooper tomorrow evening

Interesting.

The Fake News Show is on Channel 4 right now, followed by a programme profiling Ivanka.

Sometime after 01.00 UK time on Wednesday?

Sorry. That referred to the timing of SY's interview.

Ooh. I'll look out for that. And in the next edition of the New Yorker she is interviewed.

Although, she did say, in her testimony, that she was still bound by confidentiality and all that, even though she was no longer in her job.

The New Yorker does some very in-depth pieces at times.

I suspect that they may all have taken further legal advice, lion. Eg as to the extent to which 45's public statements have 'removed' privilege and confidentiality etc.

And in any case, there comes a point................

That would be good to catch. I've got lots of time for ms Yates.
