More winning, I for one am getting sick of it now

You can bet if these foreign powers had a policy to use JK owing them billions for leverage those snowflake own billions to will have the same.

5-10 years from now we'll be finding out just how much was compromised by the Orange Stain and his confederacy of dunces.

[voice]

depends how hard the crime family works to hold onto power, its already been muted by some of their enablers and supporters that it would be acceptable to suspend elections 'in the national interest' (sic)

...and the day after admitting to congress she lies constantly on behalf of Trump Hick's has resigned.

Hope Hicks, the White House communications director and one of President Trump's longest serving advisers, is to step down, the administration says.


they are gonna need new bearings on that revolving door soon.

[Marshall]

And he's bashing his own Attorney General on Twitter for (gasp!) following the rule of law.

What a pathetic blob.

The latest fracas began with Trump flaying Sessions for having Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz - not prosecutors - examine how the agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained a warrant to monitor a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page.
Horowitz was sworn into his post in 2012, during the Obama administration, after serving on a sentencing policy commission to which he was nominated by Republican President George W. Bush.
Trump’s tweet appeared to reveal a lack of understanding of the function of Horowitz’s office, which serves as an independent watchdog that investigates misconduct in the Justice Department and can refer wrongdoing to prosecutors.
Trump’s attack on Sessions also was his latest breach of the principle of preserving judicial and prosecutorial independence. He has crossed that line numerous times, for example by vowing to have his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton investigated.

Early last year, a private equity billionaire started paying regular visits to the White House.

Joshua Harris, a founder of Apollo Global Management, was advising Trump administration officials on infrastructure policy. During that period, he met on multiple occasions with Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, said three people familiar with the meetings. Among other things, the two men discussed a possible White House job for Harris.

The job never materialized, but in November, Apollo lent $184 million (U.S.) to Kushner’s family real estate firm, Kushner Cos. The loan was to refinance the mortgage on a Chicago skyscraper.

Even by the standards of Apollo, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, the previously unreported transaction with the Kushners was a big deal: It was triple the size of the average property loan made by Apollo’s real estate lending arm, securities filings show.......“This is exactly why senior government officials, for as long back as I have any experience, don’t maintain any active outside business interests,” said Don Fox, the former acting director of the Office of Government Ethics during the Obama administration and, before that, a lawyer for the Air Force and Navy during Republican and Democratic administrations. “The appearance of conflicts of interest is simply too great.”

[flatandy]

If you'd asked me two weeks ago if I thought Kushner could appear more corrupt and compromised than he already was, I'd have said no. I truly underestimated both the ineptitude (how do you not conceal this sh*t?) and corruption of the Trump Whitehouse. I now think there's a moderate chance (maybe 20%) that Kushner's going to end up as locked up as his dad was.

[Marshall]

How are Kushner and Ivanka even at these high-level positions? Neither of them have an iota of relevant experience.

Imagine if Hillary was president and she made Chelsea her senior adviser and tasked her with bringing peace to the middle east. You'd never hear the end of it.

[flatandy]

And Chelsea actually has some policy experience...

It is absolutely bonkers that Kushner got promoted so far.

nepotism plain and simple

and we know the GOP are massive massive hypocrites on everything

The shambles continue

[Marshall]

Trump's lawyer now complaining that he hasn't been reimbursed for the $130,000 hush money he paid to the porn star, lol.

[voice]

last week he'd paid her off from his own cash out of the goodness of his heart, nothing to do with snowflake....

[voice]

though this is interesting

A former aide to Donald Trump says he will not co-operate with the inquiry into alleged Russian election meddling.

Sam Nunberg, who helped launch Mr Trump's campaign, said he would refuse to comply with a grand jury subpoena.

"I think it would be really, really funny if they wanted to arrest me because I don't want to spend 80 hours going over emails," he told MSNBC.

Mr Nunberg also suggested he thinks the special counsel's team believes they have something on Mr Trump.

Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Mueller is currently investigating if there were any links between the Trump campaign and Russia, and if there was any effort by the White House to obstruct justice.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders would not be drawn on Mr Nunberg's remarks on Monday, saying: "nothing to see here, move along"

[Marshall]

Exactly, no reason to be paying her off he was just feeling especially charitable.

[Marshall]

Was just reading that.

"Donald Trump caused this, because he's an idiot. Because he decided to give an interview to Lester Holt the day after he fired James Comey and then he decided to have the Russians in the Oval Office. You have to explain that one to me, 'cause I'll never understand it," Nunberg told Tapper.

Later in the evening, talking to Ari Melber at MSNBC, Nunberg said that Trump was "the most disloyal person [you're] ever gonna meet."

[flatandy]

If we're still around in 2 decades, and they start making movies about this administration, people are going to think that characters like Nunberg and Page were just created for comic effect, and weren't real.

[Marshall]

And there will be people saying this "Trump" character was made up by the libtards to make conservatives look stupid.

[clarity]

I didn't think that Sam Nunberg has any choice, surely if he doesn't show the marshalls will come for him? Can you refuse to appear before a grand jury?

[flatandy]

You can refuse. And then get arrested and locked up. He is complaining that he doesn't want to do it, because he's friends with Roger Stone, and because he can't be arsed with spending 30 hours looking through his emails.

The last person we know who refused was someone on the Clinton Whitewater case, who was locked up for 18 months for civil contempt (civil contempt is just use to try and coerce people to testify). They were then immediately prosecuted for legal contempt, and obstruction of justice, and would have been locked up for much longer if the public weren't, by then, pissed off with Ken Starr.
