Giuliani spotted in t hotel D.C. Last night - new FBI director appointee?

Christie can be bribed or distracted from anything with a box of Krispy Kreme's. And we'd be glad to send him to DC to get rid of him.

So to sum up this week:

• People conducting an investigation, or with knowledge thereof, give disturbing testimony.
• Head of the investigation had just requested additional resources.
• Allegedly based on a vague memo by a new employee, and citing events which have been public knowledge for months, head of the investigation is fired by the subject of investigation. At the urging of someone who's had to recuse themselves from it for lying.
• This was done while the fire-ee was out of town - faster access to his computer and files that way.
• "Nothing to see here" say 45s pr folks.
• The next day 45 meets with 2 Russian diplomats, including the one suspected of being their top spy / spy handler in the us.
• US media is barred from the event. Russian media was in the Oval Office with cameras and electronics. Wonder if they "left" anything behind?
• Spicey and Conway (she's back): "Nothing to see here. "
• Also, 45 lawyers up, having them write a "certified letter" denying any involvement. Sort of like a "certified letter" saying "I am not a crook"

He stupidly said that before he fired Comey he asked Comey 3 times if he was under investigation?

It wasn't illegal to ask but it makes him look pathetic......LOL

Yeah, Comey's associates are saying he never told Trump that, Trump says:

"And I said, ‘You know, consider, we’ll see what happens.' But we had a very nice dinner, and at that time, he told me, ‘You are not under investigation,' which I knew anyway.”"

He knows anyways but asks him not once, not twice but 3 times. Such a liar.

White House furious after being trolled with Russia Oval Office photos

The White House did not anticipate that the Russian government would allow its state news agency to post photographs of an Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the US, a White House official said.

Comey willing to testify, but only in public: report

James Comey is willing to speak to Congress following his sudden dismissal as head of the FBI earlier this week, but he wants the testimony to be public, according to a new report.

Comey declined an invitation to speak to the Senate Intelligence Committee in a closed door session next week.

However, The New York Times reports that a source says Comey is willing to speak if it's a public hearing.

Comey was the face of the FBI throughout the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election and alleged coordination with President Trump's campaign. He was fired by Trump on Tuesday in a surprise move that sparked criticism and confusion throughout Washington.

"He was not doing a good job," Trump said Wednesday when asked why he fired Comey. "Very simply, he was not doing a good job."

If he testifies, Comey is likely to face questions from the committee about both the Russia probe and the timing of his unexpected removal from the office.

I get the feeling that Trump may start to feel that the walls are closing in on him

I read some democrats are going to put forward a bill for a "blue card" for ag workers who are here illegaly to get legal status, I hope they can work to getherer to forge a compromise, like maybe permanent residency, maybe not permamnenet citizenship, until after all the people who applied first get it.( I have a few names)
They anticipate it would cover 2.5 million workers, the h2a doesn't cover year round workers which is one of its downfalls.

Would be great if something could be worked out.

The Comey firing (and subsequent "spin") has outraged a lot of people and seems to have gotten some things moving along faster...

Merkel: "What did I tell you about the Russians?"
Trump: "Don't tell them secrets."

Its Official!
Trump is the biggest Idiot to ever be President!

Doesn't end and just as expected:

We should get some nice "friends of Comey" leaks coming.

Messing with the intelligence community, not going to end well for him.

Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation

WASHINGTON — President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo that Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.

“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

The existence of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia.

Special counsel appointed to oversee Russian meddling in election - Robert Mueller, FBI head prior to Comey.
It's believed Manafort and Flynn will be key figures in the investigation.
Some comments in 2016 by the house majority leader about 45 being paid by Putin (followed by Ryan telling those present to "keep it in the family") surface
Rumors of improper handling of Comey's computer and files when he was fired.
All in all, not a bad day.
