'A Liar should have a good Memory,' Trump thread cont.

Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

"The larger issue here, to me, throughout, has been infringement on First Amendment rights." Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper reacts to the news of President Trump revoking former CIA chief John Brennan's security clearance. cnn.it/2MOFnUL twitter.com/CNN/status/1029811168985141248/video/1

'Donald Trump's list of accusations projections .... '

MANAFORT's closing argument summarized:
-You don't commit fraud by looping in multiple aides/associates
-You can't trust emails because they're different in hindsight
-Rick Gates is a serial liar who led a "secret life."
-These aren't "typical" prosecutors going after Manafort.
-Defense lawyers emphasized that prosecutors opted not to call some of the key decision-makers in approving loans, like Steve Calk
-They also implied Cindy LaPorta asked for immunity because the FBI made her nervous. "We all feel a little guilty when the FBI shows up."
And the defense went hard after Gates' credibility:

"He tried to look all clean-shaven ... a person you could rely upon ...He fell apart and showed himself to be the liar that he is."

A reminder here that the real news isn't always a splashy headline. "The Senate already has installed 24 appellate judges since Trump was sworn in, the highest number for a president’s first two years in office."

JUST IN —> @PressSec just announced that President Trump is revoking the security clearance of ex-CIA Director John Brennan and is reviewing the clearances of Comey, Clapper, Hayden, Yates, Strzok, Page, Rice, and Orr.

Anyone ready to take us to a new thread?

No, I don't think he is capable of moving beyond his own egocentricism.

'The CIA was “caught off guard” by security clearance announcement, according to an official with knowledge of the matter.'

The White House passes along a copy of the Brennan statement from the president that @PressSec read today. Note the date: July 26th. Wait a second, it's almost as though they were holding it in case something else broke ... nah.

Statement has apparently been reissued, minus the date.

'The date on President Trump's statement about revoking John Brennan's security clearance? July 26. Three weeks ago. I guess it's just a coincidence that the White House decided to announce this as they struggle to deal with the fallout from Omarosa's book.'

'President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani signaled Wednesday that his team is losing patience with special counsel Robert Mueller, urging the former FBI director to finish his Russia investigation ahead of the November midterm elections.'

'This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent.'

I want to make something clear. I love America and - on the whole - I love Americans. It's just that I consider that 45 is......not worthy to be POTUS. I would welcome any thoughts from US readers of or posters to this thread...........How are you feeling right now?
