President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Oh, did I mistype? So sorry.

 

How did Nikki Haley say this with a straight face when she works for Trump?

“A speech that indulges in outrageous and discredited conspiracy theories is not the speech of a person with the courage and the will to seek peace."

 

Trump poised for clash with DOJ over classified memo

 

If the Nunes memo turns out to be specious and careless or willfully negligent in handling classified information, declassifying it would be another nail in the obstruction of justice coffin.

 

Where is Trump’s infrastructure plan? Republicans grow tired of waiting.

Yeah I know this is getting play over on the Weinstein/Whitman thread, but I thought Sarah's Tweet is noteworthy, so I thought I'd save @YankeeFan the trouble of posting it.

 

"Washington is gripped by Mueller mania because the White House and leaders of both parties in Congress know that Mueller has far more inside knowledge about what really happened than he has publicly disclosed, suspect that the odds of dramatic new actions by Mueller are extremely high, and worry that the time for these crisis-triggering actions may be coming soon.

Washington is gripped by midterm madness, most recently demonstrated by the aggressive, unwise and discredited attacks against the FBI by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and others.

The midterm madness continues to escalate every day, because Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate fully understand that there is a strong possibility of a massive Democratic victory, and a catastrophic Republican defeat. This will be virtually guaranteed if Trump refuses to testify, fires Mueller, or pardons anyone suspected of having committed crimes that will ultimately force Republicans in Congress to impeach or defend Trump."

Mueller mania and midterm madness

 

There’s no big there there

After 10 months of leading the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation, counterintelligence official Peter Strzok had not seen compelling evidence that President Trump or high-level campaign officials colluded with the Russian government, according to a person familiar with his thinking.

That account comports with a May 19, 2017 text exchange between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page that was released earlier this week.

“You and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely, I’d be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern that there’s no big there there,” Strzok wrote to Page, his mistress.

Which would make Trump's (alleged) obstruction of said investigation the greatest yet of his many self-inflicted blows.
