Only been 4 days since the last one.

Out of interest, is 45 allowing any press conference - with questions - on this overseas trip?

Israeli intel "boiling mad" over Trump sharing info: report hill.cm/3tNb4wM

I haven't been able to post on any of the other threads, and only manage to get about half way through reading them, but . Every day is a new red line crossed, isn't it?

What's the latest about Comey? Is he going to testify in public? If I were him I would be very careful about personal security.

He's due to testify in open hearing before the Senate, I think. I don't think a date has been set yet for that, though.

PS - I would imagine that he has a good many 'friends' to rely on for personal security.

We're out in the woods (literally) so our satellite TVs is intermittent.

Has some shut hit the fan about Big Mouth Donny Bass?

We saw a bit of CNN and some intel senate members did NOT appear happy!

I have the right to post what I like, no matter how classified. Trump skidmark.

I don't think pissing off the Israelis is a good idea.

How long have you been in the woods, Across. Did you get the bit about 45 sharing privileged intel with his Russian visitors in the Oval Office?

My concern would be that Trump also has a lot of Russian and Mafia friends too.

PS - and about him confirming this fact in a tweet storm after his staffers had denied it?

Gary Kasparov on Twitter commenting on the soon coming out of the WH:

"The same pattern we see in Kremlin responses. Lie. Deny. Obfuscate. Blame the sources. Confess to something else. Admit, but say it's ok."

It's a fairly standard pattern, Cave. It's just that normally it's not 'confirmed' by the person who did it and it's rarely quite so egregious.

Yes we got that yesterday although I was at a baseball game when it was hot news.

I just wondered if maybe the word 'impeachment ' is being used by some of the GOP after this debacle

You know., I may sound paranoid but it occurred to me that this was absolutely a deliberate move to alienate our allies and leave us standing alone and vulnerable.

Vulnerable to what I don't even want to think about

There was an unfortunate incident between Israel and a WH staffer about the West Wall it's true. Doubly unfortunate that it's being alleged that the intel was Israeli, which was shared with the States on a privileged basis.

The GOP seem to have - on the whole - ratcheted up their expressions of concern about matters.

Haha just seen a tweet:

"Want to bet Mossad can't find tax returns?"

Pahahahaha.

PS - I wouldn't worry about your 'vulnerability' on this score alone.

The Israelis are tough cookies, certainly.

NYT reporting Comey kept memos of every conversation with Trump.

Some are not classified. NYT has One confirming Trump asked him to drop Flynn investigation the day after Flynn left.

Comey doesn't need tapes. He has memos. These are admissible evidence.

It's going to be a great looker-me trip. The best.
Telling the Saudis about Islam and the Pope about Christianity. He loves to share his intel.

Well that Saudi speech is not one I'd have the courage to draft I reckon.

How interesting. The BBC is attempting to follow the targeted micro-advertising during the UK general election.

Are you being targeted by political ads?

I can't 'read' Comey, .I've concluded, MrsT. That 'might' be interesting though.
