    I wonder how many Gold Star widows and parents are going to come forward now and say Trump never called them?

    Hmmm...

    What big story is Vanity Fair about to drop on Kushner that he needs to hire a defamation lawyer?

    AP already found two.

    What I read was. ... Vanity Fair contacted Abbe Lowell regarding Reince Preibus testifying to Mueller, because there are rumors that Priebus wasn't happy with the way he was treated by Trump and his family, and Priebus has knowledge of just how involved Kushner was in James Comey's firing and Priebus was somewhat anxious to talk to Mueller. So Vanity Fair put the phone call into Lowell about that. ... and got a call back from Harder. Harder didn't comment, but likely putting him on the legal team and having him to be the one to call back was meant to be intimidating.

    Not intimidating at all. Just means Lowell wasn't going to go near that question, for a very obvious reason, to wit, he knows or has a damn strong suspicion his client is guilty. If Harder isn't involved in the actual criminal defense aspect of Kushner's life, he can say whatever he damn pleases and he and Kushner will be in no legal jeopardy from it.

    Maybe. From what they wrote, he didn't say anything. Just declined to comment. Then the reporter got an e-mail from Ty Cobb, who is on Trump's legal team that said: “It is disturbing how unsubstantiated and reckless this story is. It combines conclusions arising without foundation with well worn but widely peddled fantasies that other outlets have passed on for months because nothing in it is verifiable except for the long well known fact that Jared and his family were in New Jersey that weekend. Jared has fully cooperated with all investigations since the beginning. He has been demonstrably transparent with the Congress. Jared voluntarily produced documents and even appeared for six hours of well received testimony before investigative bodies. Way out of bounds, here!”

    When you don't have the facts or the law, pound the table!

    It's amazing how many of Trump's issues are self inflicted. Not surprising, because this has always been Trump. But kind of amazing that, if he had any discipline at all, he wouldn't have stepped on his dick so many times and would probably be much better off.

    He really doesn't like being reminded that if he'd invested his inheritance in something safe and ordinary, he'd be richer than he is now.

    Renee Russo's best performance since Tin Cup? The Thomas Crown Affair? Major League?
