You can believe that's what you are doing if you want, Westley.

We may think otherwise. Wink

I don't know the journal or the journalist but it's an interesting piece.

Sorry - the device didn't like that for some reason. I'll try again later.

Just following those links from the draft, cozie.

Wouldn't it be odd if those tweets Trump deleted because of his spelling mistakes counted agsinst him? .

Sally Yates coming.

LOL - "Weaponised information" - that's a new one. Does that mean 'fake news'? Or actual facts? Or, hey, evidence?

Post reports memo was shared w/ DOJ. If Sessions & Rosenstein knew this when they signed off on his firing, their positions aren't tenable.

Since everyone said it was so outlandish when I suggested Trump might fire Comey, tweeting next obvious move: pardoning Flynn.

cozietoesie · 17/05/2017 01:15

He could, I suppose. It would avail him nought, though.

lionheart · 17/05/2017 01:18

That boat has probably sailed.

cozietoesie · 17/05/2017 01:25

Well the markets are real unhappy about something. (No time to investigate further.) I say that because 45 is apparently an avid watcher.

lionheart · 17/05/2017 01:34

Hmmmm. Nothing to see here, according to Fox. Only 'Russia Hysteria'.

Is that on a Democrat petition or a Republican one?

Trump Officials on Comey Memo: ‘Don’t See How Trump Isn’t Completely F*cked

CaveMum · 17/05/2017 01:41

From BBC:

A storm is brewing - Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Washington

A person doesn't rise as high as James Comey did in the federal government without learning how to cover his, er, posterior.

With this latest bombshell from the New York Times it's clear that the former FBI director, who was unceremoniously sacked by the president, is poised to enjoy the last laugh.

At the moment the White House is denying Mr Comey's reported characterisation of the conversation the two men had shortly after the president fired Michael Flynn.

In a he-said, he-said situation, however, the man who wrote contemporaneous memos - and that is memos, plural - will have the upper hand.

Add in that Mr Comey has a reputation for independence, and the face-off looks even more ominous for the president.

As deputy attorney general Mr Comey stood up to the Bush administration during a showdown over the legality of government surveillance programme. He also withstood withering criticism from Democrats over his handling of the Hillary Clinton email server investigation last year.

If he swears to a congressional committee that the president put undue pressure on him to end an ongoing Flynn investigation, his word will pack a punch.

The White House better batten down the hatches. A storm is brewing.

lionheart · 17/05/2017 01:44

Lots of references to Nixon and Watergate. Not throwaway remarks either.

cozietoesie · 17/05/2017 01:45

Ouch.

cozietoesie · 17/05/2017 01:47

His word would most certainly pack a punch.

White House sources say Trump is cursing up a storm - ranting and raving. Yelling at staffers & using the "F" word. He's losing it tonight.
