She
hates Trump so she gave classified stuff
to the press.


She may hate Trump. But the documents she leaked made no mention of Trump. Read it. The documents were entirely about Russia. Not Trump.

Since Trump has no nefarious connections to Russia, this particular leak doesn't actually damage Trump, right?

Another night, another breaking news story about Trump asking some high level official to squash the Russia investigation...

But, there's nothing to see here. ;)

In her tiny mind and in the tiny
minds of all Libs, they are the
same thing. She believes what
the fake news media tells her
to believe.

Some of the testimony tomorrow may be pretty interesting prior to Comey testimony Thursday.

Also there's a story out that big time powerhouse law firms are quietly bowing out of helping defend Trump in any of this, he's such a deficient client who doesn't help his own case.

Actually, I hear these law firms won't take on Donald as a client because they're so "tired of winning" cases.

From that 'other' hearing today:

From the NSA, General Rogers: “I have never been directed to do anything illegal, immoral, unethical, or inappropriate. I don’t recall feeling pressure to do so.”

Uh oh, not want the Dems wanted to hear. lol

Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence: “I have never felt pressured to interfere or intervene in shaping intelligence in any way.”

Dang it, the Dems are so depressed now. But
wait, Comey is yet to come. LOLOLOLOL

So when there are "unnamed sources" making allegations that Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions hate each other, you need to assume that "unnamed sources" aren't particularly reliable sources of gossip. It's gossip, and that's all it is. Gossip. So it should therefore be easy to get a White House spokesman to simply go on the record to debunk the silly rumors. Right? Nope.

Quote: HotAir
Spicer was asked about this yesterday as stories swirled about Trump being peeved at Sessions and he ducked it by saying he hasn’t discussed the subject with the president. Well, okay — it’s odd that the White House wouldn’t volunteer a simple “naturally he has confidence in the head of the Justice Department” as a matter of course, but if Spicer legitimately wasn’t prepared for the question, I guess a sincere non-answer is the way to go.

CNN contacted the White House last night, though, hours after Spicer was first asked about Sessions, to see if the press office wanted to issue a follow-up statement. Nope, as it turns out. Trump and Spicer still wouldn’t say when given a second chance that Trump backs Sessions. So reporters asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders again today. Does the president have confidence in his Attorney General? Third time’s the charm, right? Nope.


I hope these two can work it out.

Contradictory versions and claims abound, but apparently Snow Flake in Chief, Golden Boy, will delay visiting the UK because too many protests are planned.

We can draw one inference and hypothesize a bit:

Inference: Mexico will be happily Trump-Free until Hell freezes over, thaws, boils and then freezes over again.

Hypothesis: if the anti-trump protests in the US grow big enough and plenty enough, Golden Boy will leave the country forever.

Still no extreme vetting.

Trump doesn't actually want a plan or a ban, he just wants someone else to blame (Judicial branch) when something happens. He knows any plan he could pass could not be effective and make us "safe" so he is ready to shift the blame.

So much popcorn-worthy stuff in the news.

All you have to do is read, and avoid the articles from the sites on the left and the right that are only telling their audiences what they want to hear.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-administration-grants-work-permits-to-thousands-of-illegal-immigrants/2017/06/12/9b849488-4f99-11e7-91eb-9611861a988f_story.html?tid=sm_fb&utm_term=.36b4f9046391

That's about another one of Trump's broken campaign promises - to end the DACA program. Instead, under the continuing program, over 100,000 work permits have been renewed, and over 15,000 new ones issued to people living in the country illegally.

He's decided he can't face the people of England, too. How brave.

Also, pay for the wall with solar power?!?

The best one today, though it is hard to keep track, I don't know if I am even remembering them all, is that he is actually for real considering having Robert Mueller fired. At least, he hasn't ruled it out. A deep investigation that uncovers absolutely no wrongdoing on the part of Trump, his campaign, or his allies would be very good for him, but he wants to shut that down too? Gonna need a lot of popcorn.
