monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

If Trump is under investigation, which he clearly is, if not him personally than his campaign team, then any announcement to the contrary would be a lie or it would mean dropping the investigation.

Anybody, anytime, anyplace would bash in the face of some bastard who is crowding you and won't back off when told. What's the issue here? This will probably get him elected in a landslide.

Wait... It just hit me...instead of Meet the press...BEAT THE PRESS.

The Italian view of politics?

Liberals really don't seem to get that Americans are sick of them and their hatemongering witch hunts.

We're at a loss for words.

And as people who wrangle words on a minute-by-minute basis, that doesn't happen often.

What happens even less — hopefully never again — is a Montana candidate assaulting a reporter. While there are still questions left unanswered about GOP House hopeful Greg Gianforte's altercation with Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs, eyewitness accounts, law enforcement investigations and records are all shocking, disturbing and without precedent.

That's why The Billings Gazette editorial board is also doing something without precedent: We're rescinding our editorial endorsement of Greg Gianforte.

According to a witness:

Quote:

"After asking Jacobs to lower the recorder, Jacobs declined. Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face. Jacobs grabbed Greg's wrist, and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground.

Like "Travelgate", Whitewater, the IRS non-scandal, "fast and furious", "climategate", and Benghazi?

They believe what they want to believe. It's really remarkable. This guy snaps and assaults someone, and they predictably, automatically start blathering about how it's of course the fault of libruls. Really unfortunate and remarkable.

Sean Hannity loses advertisers amid uproar over slain DNC staffer conspiracy theories

A secret document that officials say played a key role in then-FBI Director James B. Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation has long been viewed within the FBI as unreliable and possibly a fake, according to people familiar with its contents.

In the midst of the 2016 presidential primary season, the FBI received what was described as a Russian intelligence document claiming a tacit understanding between the Clinton campaign and the Justice Department over the inquiry into whether she intentionally revealed classified information through her use of a private email server.

The Russian document cited a supposed email describing how then-Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch had privately assured someone in the Clinton campaign that the email investigation would not push too deeply into the matter. If true, the revelation of such an understanding would have undermined the integrity of the FBI’s investigation.

Current and former officials have said that Comey relied on the document in making his July decision to announce on his own, without Justice Department involvement, that the investigation was over. That public announcement — in which he criticized Clinton and made extensive comments about the evidence — set in motion a chain of other FBI moves that Democrats now say helped Trump win the presidential election...

One day before US President Donald Trump’s visit to Brussels where he’ll attend the NATO Summit and meet European leaders, Open Europe is hosting a speech by Dr. Ted Malloch. He has been tipped by many news outlets as the new United States Ambassador to the European Union but is yet to be confirmed. He’ll discuss “what the new US Presidential administration means for Brexit and the EU”. The speech will be followed by remarks from Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, the director of ECIPE, a think tank dedicated to supporting free trade, and a Q&A session with the public.

DONALD Trump’s reported pick for EU ambassador has warned France and Germany against plans to pursue a “United States of Europe” with a centralised budget, saying the US will fiercely oppose such a move.
