The Supreme Court has declined to take up a legal battle over a Mississippi law that allows state employees and private businesses to deny services to LGBT people based on religious objections. www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/supreme-court-allows-mississippi-anti-lgbt-law-stand-n835721 …

Tom Steyer said on Jan. 8 that he won't be running for office in 2018, but will be pouring more money into mobilizing and organizing voters.

Democratic donor Tom Steyer, who has spent more than $100 million since 2016 on political campaigns, will forgo any run for office this year and focus instead on ending Republican control of the House of Representatives.

“People have been asking me for 12 months and five days what I’m going to run for,” Steyer said in an interview before a news conference in downtown D.C. “I’m not going to run for anything. I’ve said all along, the question I always ask is: Where can I make the most differential impact? And when I look at the jobs I can run for in California, they all have reputable Democrats running for them already.”

It’s cute Trump’s lawyers think they can negotiate to have Trump not interview with Robert Mueller in person. They think they can submit written answers instead. Why are they afraid of Donald doing an interview? Oh, because he’s a pathological liar & guilty of conspiracy. Got it.

Trump’s legal team has been having discussions about how the president could avoid an interview with Mueller since Manafort was indicted in late October.

(THREAD) BREAKING: NBC reports that Mueller plans to interview Trump about his ties to Russia. This thread—by a former a criminal defense attorney—breaks down this major news. I hope you'll read and share, as this could be the single most consequential interview of our lifetimes.

Trump's lawyers are trying to avoid an interview altogether and have him submit written answers to written questions. Unbelievable.

Let's hope he is doomed either way.

As if ...

'Reacting to reports that the president’s lawyers are attempting to avoid sending Trump into a face to face interview with Mueller by submitting a signed affidavit affirming his innocence and denying any collusion with Russia during his election campaign, Nick Akerman said that may not fly.'

If his previous written statements - or those of his 'lawyers' are anything to go by...........

Steyer's not going for 2018 then.

Maybe he wants to live-tweet it.

Hey everyone: There is FINALLY a show on prime time with five men telling us what to think about everything! I thought it would never happen twitter.com/arifleischer/status/950019500551954437 …

is this finally happening? I feel like I've been waiting....a year and 2 months

Let's hope he thinks he can testify all by himself just like all the other times he showed the lawyers and the courts who was the boss.

This thread is filling up fast. Soon, we will have to boldly go to another dimension and start over again.

Bannon still digging.

“My comments were aimed at Paul Manafort, a seasoned campaign professional with experience and knowledge of how the Russians operate,” Bannon said. “He should have known they are duplicitous, cunning and not our friends. To reiterate, those comments were not aimed at Don Jr.”
