what say you jersey? i imagine it will be something along the lines of "i certainly don't condone this and think it's ridiculous that this is happening" but fall well short of recognizing the moral corruptness of his party.

President Trump has sometimes summoned White House staffers to his private residence in the evening to change assignments given to them by Chief of Staff John Kelly – and then telling them not to let him know, a report on Sunday said.

U.S. House Republicans are drafting a contempt of Congress resolution against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray, claiming stonewalling in producing material related to the Russia-Trump probes and other matters.

Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes and other committee Republicans, after considering such action for several weeks, decided to move after media including the New York Times reported Saturday on why a top FBI official assigned to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russia-Trump election collusion had been removed from the investigation.

Republicans, including the president, pointed to the reports as evidence that the entire probe into Russian meddling has been politically motivated.

Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney downplayed the possibility of a shutdown, but he noted that certain blocs of lawmakers could derail a short-term CR.

“You know, it's funny to see now that the Republicans are in charge, I think there's a group of right-wingers in the House who say they want to shut the government down,” Mulvaney said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “There's a group of Democrats who want to shut the government down over DACA. And there's a group of lawmakers from some of the hurricane states who want to shut the government down until they get what they want.”

When he was in the House, Mulvaney supported the 2013 government shutdown, which Republicans forced in hopes of getting Congress to defund Obamacare, and he played a key role in a 2011 crisis in which some conservatives balked at raising the federal debt ceiling.

LOL

Although I, like CB, don’t believe it at all, there is not much gain. It’s public so attorney client privilege matters little, and you would need to believe that his lawyers has the inside track. So Trump knew.

Bumbling morons.

Legal experts: The “my lawyer wrote my tweet defense” could erase attorney-client privilege and enable prosecutors to interview DT lawyer.
