Super busy at moment, but I've got something in my news feed that Stephen Miller wrote the speech Trump's about to give to the Muslim leaders?

If true yeah I dunno. I guess it's consistent with Trump's habit of hiring the absolute worst person for the job

President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office that James Comey's firing relieved "great pressure," calling him a "nut job"

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”

That was the shot. Here's the chaser.

The law enforcement investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign has identified a current White House official as a significant person of interest, showing that the probe is reaching into the highest levels of government, according to people familiar with the matter. The senior White House adviser under scrutiny by investigators is someone close to the president, according to these people, who would not further identify the official."]The law enforcement investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign has identified a current White House official as a significant person of interest, showing that the probe is reaching into the highest levels of government, according to people familiar with the matter.

It's basically like if Nicholson said he ordered the code red in the first scene he was in and Cruise just shrugged and the movie ended.

Quote:

A third government official briefed on the meeting defended the president, saying Mr. Trump was using a negotiating tactic when he told Mr. Lavrov about the “pressure” he was under. The idea, the official suggested, was to create a sense of obligation with Russian officials and to coax concessions out of Mr. Lavrov — on Syria, Ukraine and other issues — by saying that Russian meddling in last year’s election had created enormous political problems for Mr. Trump.

But then you would want to amp up the pressure you're supposedly under to make it seem like you're more under stress and need help by having the Russians give concessions. You don't say, "yea I took care of that supposed pressure you supposedly put me under, it's all good, it's water under the bridge. Now because I'm under no much pressure, how about those concessions?"

That doesn't make sense.

Also, why the f*ck would the Russians feel a sense of obligation? Why? Out of the goodness of their hearts??????

the funniest thing about awwal is he isnt even rich enough to benefit from the tax cuts. hes gonna get like an extra 3-500 bucks at best. and considering all the other problems that the repubs are gonna reap on the middle class, he is undoubtedly gonna come out behind. bigly.

The Russian story looks like it's sourced from the West Wing, not the Deep State. President Pence here we come?
