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.

The possibility of hiring Andy McCabe had been seriously discussed by top House, Senate Democrats but McCabe has turned them down, as he now has set up a legal defense fund given the scrutiny he's facing amid his firing from the FBI. w/@LauraAJarrett

Sessions, in letter to Goodlatte, Gowdy, and Grassley, says he has concluded that the circumstances don't justify the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate FBI misconduct. How will Trump take this? (link: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4426661/AG-Letter-Re-IG-and-Huber-Reviews.pdf )

Renato Mariotti
@renato_mariotti
This was the only honest conclusion Sessions could reach, because there is no "conflict of interest ... or other extraordinary circumstances" that would warrant a special counsel. As it is, Sessions is bending over backwards to initiate a politically-motivated investigation.

Trump tells aides not to talk publicly about Russia policy moves

But Trump, irked by Putin's nuclear buildup, told him last week: "If you want to have an arms race we can do that, but I'll win."

I personally know and greatly respect Ronny Jackson....as a terrific doctor and Navy officer. However, he has neither the experience nor the credentials to run the very large and complex VA. This is a terribly misguided nomination that will hurt both a good man and our veterans

'irked'?

(You make it sound as if Vlad had bought a better car or something?

Who has Ronny got as deputies?
