I'll be interested as to whether he implies kushnwr also perjured himself with providing bad answers to simple questions on his security clearance forms.
I'm sure many presidents damn well yell at their staff. But I bet if Trump keeps going he is going to find it a very difficult to find any half way qualified to work for him.
So this Don Jr meeting had Trump's campaign manager, that weasel Kushner, a former KGB spy, a Kremlin linked lawyer, and a money launderer. Lol. That is awesome.
Reading some of the quotes from Trump in the NYT article about Sessions etc. I am pulling a majority of money out of the markets in the next few days. I think something may be coming in D.C.
We can add this to the list of suspicious behavior to Russia's benefit. CIA no longer arming anti-Assad rebels, Washington Post reports
Napolitano: Was Donald Trump Jr.'s Russian meeting a criminal act? http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017...-trump-jr-s-russian-meeting-criminal-act.html excerpts: Observe the balancing act Napolitano is attempting with the Fox base. Asking repeatedly "was the meeting a crime?" and saying the meeting itself "probably" wasn't a crime, but gosh it's pretty suspicious and enough to trigger the attention of the special investigator. Meanwhile, right there in his own damn article it clearly states: It is a felony for a campaign official to conspire to acquire a thing of value from a foreign national, even if the thing of value never arrives. It is also a felony for a campaign official to take a material step in furtherance of acquiring a thing of value from a foreign national, even if the thing of value never comes. And THIS is the issue the usual suspects in here need to get through their thick skulls. Napolitano himself didn't have the balls to come out and say it here, but he left the trail to be followed (if one or two steps is long enough to be considered a trail.) There most certainly was a conspiracy to acquire a thing of value from a foreign national, so much has already been admitted by the guilty party who released his own emails proving such. Whether they got intel or anything else of value is irrelevant to the crime.
The best part of all of this is how the Trump family acted so outraged at the suggestion they might have cooperated with Russians with statements about never doing business with Russia, no meetings with any Russians, etc.
And just like that, Trump admits he had knowledge of the meeting between Trump Junior and the Russians, and that it was to discuss Clinton emails. This after his and his people's constant "Trump did not know anything of the meeting until a few days ago" (when it was first reported in media).
Trump telegraphs his next moves so blatantly it's sort of pathetic. He will sort of crowd source outlandish ideas he's thinking of doing. Here he thinks of a slick trick to get rid of the investigation by forcing out Sessions and throwing him under the bus so he can appoint a new DOJ who will get rid of Mueller and protect him legally. It's blatantly obvious that's what he's crowdsourcing here. He's already telling us that he thinks he already has protection from the new FBI director. As an act of survival it's not his worst idea. It all depends on the GOP confirming his new appointee and if Mueller is fired it's then up to Congress (Paul Ryan mostly) to take action in appointing a special commission in response or impeachment. Does anyone here really think Paul Ryan won't cower to Trump in this case? However as a survival tactic it's not a bad idea for Trump. Going the Saturday night massacre route is quicker but more politically stupid as it creates more chaos. Replacing the DOJ and acting slower is probably the most effective way he can squash this investigation, and if done quiet enough, you all know the GOP will do what they can to help him. But.... in that case, even if he is successful, if you think we have seen a leaky Washington, you haven't seen anything yet. The intelligence community, and members of the govt. will destroy him publicly. The thing about Trump that is just unbelievable is how we know exactly what he's thinking at all times and it's freaking scary. Hope you Trump fans are proud.
Sessions was a bad pick which reflects poorly on his boss. Now his boss is throwing him under the bus. Trumps says so himself. Bad pick. Wouldn't have picked him had he knew. Sessions is so out of touch,it is immediately time he goes.
7M of outright lies and maneuver to stop the Russian investigation. Now changing the message after being caught. I think he's not that dumb and knew what he and his people did was unlawful. Of course, even if not, it's not a valid excuse.
There is no good answer to Syria, but quietly capitulating to Putin's preferred outcome is aggravating.
Call me partisan all you want, but I am still crushing on Sally Yates... hopefully we will see her in a government role in the future.
Our Ever-Trump defenders are all like... "RECALCULATING!" this morning. Could not believe that interview, esp. if his lawyers advised those answers to NYT.
