Watch Trump's body language as Washington Governor Jay Inslee tells him how idiotic his idea of arming teachers is. He also tells him to lay off Twitter.

Good job Governor!

When arming the teachers isn't such a good idea.....

BREAKING: Police in Georgia respond to shots fired at high school and have taken a teacher into custody; no children hurt.

Damn those pesky teachers, not going along with the awesome idea of having weapons in school..

More than 30 W.H. staff members have been stripped of access to top secret intelligence, 3 people familiar with the move tell Bloomberg.

They will be downgraded to a lower-level “secret” interim clearance while their background investigations continue.

Hicks' atty is Robert Trout, a white collar defense guy who, years ago, represented Fawn Hall, Ollie North's secretary. She cooperated & testified about smuggling docs out of the WH for him. The smartest advice attys can give people caught up in this investigation is: Cooperate!

Well if I were a reporter, I know what questions I'd be planning to put to Huckleberry at the next presser.

GOWDY is asking about HUD Secretary @RealBenCarson's office redecoration and the allegations that a whistleblower faced retaliation.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you

Kushner is paranoid that people in the White House are "out to get him"

[i think variations of this have been posted on this thread but it’s an updated article]

I guess that he imagines that most of this would stop if he returned to 'private life'. I'd hate for anyone to disabuse him.

One question I’d ask Huckleberry: “Is Ms Hicks aware that a white lie is still a lie? As in, an untruth? Following from that, is Ms Hicks aware that these untruths may be felonies?”

Sorry, that was three questions Really, I’d have so much to ask! Imagine if we could have a private MN presser ...

I think she'll bat off anything to do with Ms Hicks. You need to question her about her own past and future conduct.

Mueller investigation is examining Trump’a apparent efforts to oust Sessions, @DevlinBarrett @jdawsey1 & @PostRoz scoop

Mueller investigation examining Trump’s apparent efforts to oust Sessions in July

www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/national-security/mueller-investigation-examining-trumps-apparent-efforts-to-oust-sessions-in-july/2018/02/28/909cfa7c-1cd7-11e8-b2d9-08e748f892c0_story.html?__twitter_impression=true

Behind the scenes, Trump has derisively referred to Sessions as “Mr. Magoo,” a cartoon character who is elderly, myopic and bumbling, according to people with whom he has spoken. Trump has told associates that he has hired the best lawyers for his entire life, but is stuck with Sessions, who is not defending him and is not sufficiently loyal.

[this wasn’t the most important bit but ]

Sorry, random thought here when I looked at the list of Directors of Communications - did I miss Kellyanne Conway being sacked? At one point, she seemed to be popping up everywhere as the voice of DT, but she doesn't seem to have made her presence felt recently. Or have I just been ostrich-like, or missed something due to one of my bouts of Trump-fatigue?
to the people who mentioned suffering from a surfeit of Trump yesterday.

She puts her head in - like a tortoise - when she's threatened. She's not been sacked but she has 'high' and 'low' visibility periods.

Thanks, cozie, I like that tortoise analogy. Just looked at photos of KC, she seems to have become rather raddled during her time with Trump.
I can't copy and paste from Twitter on my ipad, so here are some screen shots I made earlier. Another “little list”.

Do you think it is coincidence or was he making a point rather drastically? Dalton teacher in custody

I saw that list too... is anyone else feeling it's rats deserting the sinking ship?

Rachel Maddow put it slightly differently on her latest (I think) show.

Oops.
But are they deserting or were they pushed, Roussette?
