Trump Made Several Misleading Claims in Times Interview

Mr. Trump suggested that Mr. Rosenstein was from Baltimore and might have Democratic leanings because “there are very few Republicans in Baltimore, if any.” But Mr. Rosenstein grew up in Philadelphia and attended the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. Trump’s alma mater. He was appointed the United States attorney for Maryland, based in Baltimore, in 2005 by President George W. Bush, a Republican.

Donald just can't wrap his pea brain around someone pledging loyalty to some silly constitution rather than to his traitorous ass

His fee would be enormous. Do it, Spicey!

I'd even settle for a tell all with the Times.

I guarantee he signed a big fat NDA

If Sessions is fired/resigns while the senate is in recess, and Trump makes a recess appointment to replace him, can that guy fire Mueller? Or does it still have to be Rosenstein?

And I guarantee it's illegal and unenforceable and that the publisher will contractually agree to defend any suit at its own expense.

Glad to see that scumbag go.

It's a long read that's more specific than the generalities we already know. Trump lost a ton of money and was in debt and then a lot of Russian money from dubious sources kept him afloat, offered him pretty sweet real estate deals, and he has a few shady connections with Russian mobsters that he can't seem to recall now

RIP Spiceboy you will always be a hard man in a bush.

I will buy ten copies of Spiceys book if he spills the dirt

I guess the pool of racist Trumpkin attorneys was not what I thought it would be. I figured that it was small, but not that small. I would have guessed there exist enough Sessions-type guys out there that he could have filled all the upper levels of the Justice Department.

Trump's opinion now is obviously going to be different from what it was at the time he decided to appoint him. Obviously the guys vetting him ****ed up (from Trump's point of view).

I hope you're right

Gotta admit Russia is GOAT for dumping a bunch of money into a a guy who was basically a devolving conman, and ending up with a hold on the POTUS. They must have really taken that Black Swan book to heart.

I'll raise you, buy and gift a copy to every person I know that voted Trump

A-****ing-mong a bush!

My better soul hopes that treason (or something pretty damned close to it) will motivate the electorate that this thing might just be important.

Then again, the big problem is that democrats are utterly worthless in crafting an appropriate message that resonates.

Given the structure of the team he's put together (to my limited knowledge here), these are old-school lockdown guys who don't leak. I doubt Mueller would have it any other way. They're "no commenting" to the NYT and WaPo on even tangential and fairly trivial matters.

A bit slow-pony but I DON'T CARE.




Rosenstein is not a Trumpkin; he threatened to resign when Trump pulled the "Rod told me to fire Comey" line.

WaPo article:
Finally, there should be no uncertainty that Mueller is essentially apolitical. He actually was a possibility for FBI Director after Comey was fired.

WH is going crazy ATM. Bannon screaming Scaramucci gets the job over his dead body lol.

Is there some sort of history between Spicey and Scaramucci? Why does Spicey dislike him?

How the F are we gonna come up with a nickname for Anthony Scaramucci? All is lost.

He was interviewed by Trump and Sessions the DAY BEFORE he got appointed a Special Counsel. And Trump is trying to paint his support for Mueller's integrity as a conflict of interest. Cra Cra.

The Scarecrow.

Where are you hearing this?

Article says friends call him The Mooch

MSNBC. Hallie Jackson is there for the briefing. One source inside the house, one source outside the house.

Why wait for the book? Maybe one of the committees can invite him to testify.
