Is justice Comey for Trump?

The previous thread:

I think it will be a private performance from Sessions.

If the son did, it would, I assume, mean that a senior White House aide left her government issue communications device just 'lying around' for someone to tweet from. Or, has been tweeting from an unsecured and unofficial device. That's not one to play off as a cutesie Mom story.

This was interesting in cozie's 'forget it Paul' link:

Blue America, as defined by the 500 counties won by Hillary Clinton, accounts for 64 percent of this country’s economic activity; while the 2,600 counties Trump won account for just 36 percent. Blue America has a per capita income $10,000 higher, and lower rates of poverty and violent crime. And Blue America hands Trump Country $300 billion more in tax revenues each year than they pay in. Blue state governors and mayors have a duty to defend their citizens against a sputtering president and his destructive party.

What's interesting is that many of those red states don't like Federal Government and are for devolution of power for states. Not to mention those voters who are happiest about the US not giving money to other countries.

Sessions' session will probably be more interesting as he'll try to dodge questions or just refuse to answer.

Surprise surprise, he's changed it to a closed session hearing.

I was reading this thread:

When my dog farts it frightens him and he runs out of the room.

My dog is lovely but really stupid

I wanted to post about something except politics. Dogs farting was my next best topic

And saw one of the responses:

When my DDs dog farts he looks at us accusingly and leaves the room

And immediately thought "Ah, the Donald trump of the dog world".

Sessions can't run forever

But he's working soooo hard...

Every 3.5 days, he’s at one of his private properties.
Every 6.2 days, he golfs.

Actually, illegitimate, I'm not entirely happy - in the cold light of day - with some of those hard figures in the 'Forget it Paul' piece. The general thrust of the argument, Yes, sadly, but I'm wondering if some 'zeros' could have been lost between friends when giving the numbers.

We'll see I guess.

I had not seen or heard Trump little speak before but I just caught a clip from his recent interview on Fox news no less. A different version of hideous but shooting his mouth off in ways which bode well:

Off message here for Trump Jr. Says his father did tell Comey he hoped he let the Flynn investigation go. His dad says that's a lie.

I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very 'cowardly!'

Donald Trump's state visit to Britain put on hold

US president told Theresa May he did not want trip to go ahead if there were large-scale public protests

John Schindler @20committee

OK, folks, let's look at just one issue where Trump is really over the barrel -- possible WH tape(s) of conversations with Comey re Flynn /1

It's critical to recall that this potentially very serious problem for the WH is ENTIRELY of Trump's own making -- and how he's cornered. /2

Congress has demanded that Trump hand over any tapes that he hinted may exist. Those might reflect Comey's version, not Trump's however. /3

So POTUS would be shown to be a massive liar to the world about a critical issue of national security, ie Russian influence on his WH. /4

If that's something to avoid, Trump can try to make tape(s) disappear -- but that's committing a crime, obstruction of justice. Whoopsie. /5

And if there never were any WH tapes, Trump will be forced to admit he publicly threatened the FBI director via tweet over...nothing. /6

Now matter which of those 3 possibilities happens, Trump is screwed and it's ALL his own fault. GOP is covering for a very inept crook. /End

Opposition Leader Tests Public Support for Bid to Topple Putin
t.co/99UuSOZIiR?amp=1

The moonscape of Russian opposition politics showed unexpected signs of life in late March, when an anticorruption protest called by Mr. Navalny elicited a robust national response. In more than 80 cities across Russia, tens of thousands of demonstrators marched, the largest such political protest in five years.

Mr. Navalny has called for an even bigger protest on Monday, describing it as a test of the opposition’s breadth and, by extension, of public support for his attempt to challenge President Vladimir V. Putin in the March 2018 presidential election. Activists in about 210 cities have requested permits to march.

Kellyanne Conway Just Got Caught Leaking Private Trump Conversation To Media

At a Washington, D.C. party on Friday night, Kellyanne Conway was overheard “leaking” a private conversation she had with Trump in an open setting to members of the “mainstream media.”

Conway’s overheard conversation was documented on an anonymous new Twitter account, @KellyanneLeaks. Conway details how the President told her say, almost as if to mock the former FBI Director, that “James Comey will have to wait and see about the tapes,” which Conway then translated to “no comment,” deriding Trump’s bombastic rhetoric. She also mocked Trump’s Chief of Staff Reince Priebus for trying to stop leaks to reporters. Oh, the irony.

Politico has since confirmed the veracity of the conversation.

@realDonaldTrump
The Democrats have no message, not on economics, not on taxes, not on jobs, not on failing #Obamacare. They are only OBSTRUCTIONISTS!

Thanks for the link Pain
Hahahahahahaha!
Good luck with that Donny-boy!

Donald Trump has told Theresa May in a phone call he does not want to go ahead with a state visit to Britain until the British public supports him coming.

Be careful about that report, NorthWest. It's not been confirmed by Downing Street or the Palace as far as I know.

They are only OBSTRUCTIONISTS!

He's SO funny.
