When a nation’s children marched, and their President ignored them - Trump cont.

[TheClaws]

For me, the Parkland children being belittled and abused in so many ways is utterly heartbreaking to witness. But they have been more adult than the adults in their response. They have shown us what faith means, and bravery. POTUS? He is made much, much smaller.

Update:
I have been so unfair to T. He didn't ditch Peru summit 'because tantrum', but because of the earthquake and his allergy to marmalade (he dozed off after the first 10 mins of 'Paddington', apparently).

For shame, mimi.

ohmymini oh yes. On twitter they're describing Cohen not as an Attorney but a 'fixer'. Trump makes a mess of something, Cohen fixes it. As your article says MissMarples... hilarious!

O-oh, I'd forgotten Cohen held RNC finance post during campaign. And now we know Manafort is under investigation for crimes committed during his stint as campaign chair.

'Kudlow shortly before Trump scrapped Latin America trip: "Of course he can compartmentalize. I’m going to bet you he holds his regular schedule today. ... I’ll be traveling with him with a group going to Latin America ... I don’t think it’s going to stop him."'

OMG I leave the world for a week and the shit starts hitting the Fan! I just saw about Cohen. I'll have to do some catching up!

I've been on a self imposed news ban since last Tuesday as I'd finally hit my Scrotus limit and it was starting to affect my outlook on life and the future in a way I found unacceptable. I'm in the airport to fly home and thought I'd check MN to update myself.

Went to visit a cousin with no satellite, no cable, and no political interest. We spent the week watching Netflix and eating crap food plus I had two days at Disneyland. My mental health is restored and I'm ready to fight the good fight once again. Once more unto the breach, dear friends !

I told DH I didn't want to know a thing unless he was reporting to me that Scrotus was being taken out of the WH either in handcuffs or feet first. Either is fine. I'm not picky.

Trump only hires the best people, you know-

White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert is leaving the Trump administration, another departure during what has been a chaotic few months of personnel changes.
So far this year, the president has changed his secretary of state, national security adviser, veterans affairs secretary, CIA director, chief economic adviser, staff secretary, communications director and members of his legal team.

Oops!MissMarple, that 'Daily Beast' article hits the spot. I must read more Beast.

I also love that Rick Wilson is a GOP man and loathes Trump with every fibre of his being.

The bit about the diamond made me really chuckle.

Lweji, this article sheds some light on your earlier question on atty/client privilege. I access WaPo via incognito tab.

Apparently, Berman is recused from Cohen case, Rosenstein personally authorised.

That's me done for today. Time for a break. Tea, welsh cakes and series 2 of 'A Place to Call Home' !

Thanks ohmymimi.

Have a nice .

Hello Across.

edition.cnn.com/2018/04/10/politics/michael-cohen-search-warrant/index.html

Washington (CNN)--The search warrant behind Monday's raids on the office and hotel room of President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, included a request for documents related to Cohen's ownership of taxi medallions, two sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

If Cohen used campaign money to pay Daniels (is that one theory), would he be willing to face jail for his boss?

By the book.

SCOOP: ABC News has learned Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is recused from the Michael Cohen investigation. He had no role in raid of Cohen's office. Another recusal that will make @realDonaldTrump unhappy.

'We knew this day was coming. Whatever else we might say about Richard Nixon, he went quietly into the night. Not Trump. He will drag us through the misery of a constitutional crisis before, to quote John Brennan, he enters the dustbin of history.'

'Donald Trump is said to be “bouncing off the walls” with fury after his personal lawyer’s offices were raided by the FBI, apparently after being tipped off about possible wrongdoing by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.'

We will need a bigger thread soon.

Presser just started, I usually miss them now but interested how SHS will put a spin on Cohen

That was quick - second question in. Why is it 'an attack on our country??'
She won't answer and refers back to the President

The press keep digging and digging. She keeps saying 'I refer you to the President'
