Mark my word: more things are going to come out that will prove just how guilty Trump & his enablers are. It will turn the public against them. How do we know? Read history. He looks like he’s getting away, but pride & arrogance come before a fall. Always have, always will.

It would be so easy to lose hope, to lose faith and confidence. But without hope, we lose will, without will, we lose the wonderful of tomorrow....

Personally, apart from more things coming out re: his past behaviour which seems to be highly likely, my feeling is that Trump will do something else incredibly stupid prior to the coming election, that will seal his fate. Of course, I could be wrong, but I've never been wrong about anyone before. There is always a first time!

If anyone caught The Rachael Maddow show last night, she showed clips where two sources stated Vnidmar would be safe from retaliation, of course this was at the time he testified!

THEN she showed a current clip where one of those sources was backtracking big time!

I'd be curious to know how many total Prayer Breakfasts Trump has attended in his years in office.

It's my opinion his attendance at this last one was to mainly gloat and shore up votes from the Evangelicals.

Former national security adviser John Bolton's team on Friday accused the White House of trying to suppress his unpublished book after word surfaced that the National Security Council had sent him a letter expressing concerns that the manuscript contained classified information. Sarah Tinsley, a senior adviser to Bolton, issued a statement Friday acknowledging that a letter from the NSC had been sent to Chuck Cooper, Bolton's lawyer.

“This latest leak from the NSC’s pre-publication review process raises even more serious concerns that the process has been thoroughly breached, and that it is more about suppressing Ambassador Bolton’s book than about classification issues," Tinsley said. She said Bolton was reviewing the letter and would respond. She said Bolton continues to believe “that the manuscript contains no legitimately classified material."

WASHINGTON – Departing the White House Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump asserted that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "broke the law" in tearing up her copy of his State of Union address after he concluded his remarks Tuesday.

“Well I thought it was a terrible thing when she ripped up the speech. First of all, it’s an official document. You’re not allowed. It’s illegal what she did. She broke the law," he told reporters referring to The Presidential Records Act. Multiple experts said this law did not apply to the incident from Tuesday.

Heidi Kitrosser, a University of Minnesota law professor specializing in federal government secrecy and the separation of powers, told USA TODAY it was "crazy" to suggest Pelosi broke the law. The Presidential Records Act, which requires the president to preserve records, and other laws governing federal records were "designed to prevent the president and his advisers from shielding documentary information from public view," she explained.
They do not apply to "printouts or widely circulated documents" like copies of the State of the Union, she said.

Oh that poor thin-skinned delicate flower!
