Attorney General Sessions met with Kislyak again and lied? The problem is the Russians know the whole story and can/will use it to their advantage. These guys keep compromising themselves by lying. Putin must be pretty persuasive to make Trump feel obliged to give back his staging areas for their assault on the United States just because. Or maybe Trump just agrees with what Vlad said today that “patriotically minded” private Russian hackers could have been involved in U.S. election interference... www.nytimes.com/2017/06/01/world/europe/vladimir-putin-donald-trump-hacking.html?action=Click&contentCollection=BreakingNews&contentID=65381707&pgtype=HomepageBTW Fox is running with unmasking being the real issue, no mention of Sessions perjuring himself for the 3rd time, or Putin's spy facilities possibly being returned for nothing...

The Trump administration was gearing up to lift sanctions on Russia when the president took office, but career diplomats ginned up pressure in Congress to block the move, two senior former State Department officials told NBC News Thursday. It's the latest evidence that President Trump moved to turn his favorable campaign rhetoric about Russia into concrete action when he took power. www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/former-diplomats-trump-team-sought-lift-sanctions-russia-n767406Malinowski said he is now concerned that even if the Trump administration doesn't lift sanctions on Russia, it will stop vigilantly enforcing them. The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control, which polices sanctions, does not have a permanent chief, and the State Department does not have a permanent sanctions coordinator. _______________ "The real story is the leakers" _______ About that meeting with the Russian Banker Sergei Gorkov: 1) He's a graduate of the academy of the Federal Security Service, or FSB. He was trained at Russia's spy academy 2) The White House says the meeting was unrelated to business and was "one of many diplomatic encounters the soon-to-be presidential adviser was holding ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration". Pretty unusual to meet with a foreign bank as part of your transition duties 3) The bank contradicts that story and maintained this week that "the session was held as part of a new business strategy and was conducted with Kushner in his role as the head of his family’s real estate business." 4) This business meeting came shortly after he allegedly asked Kislyak if they could set up a covert line in the Russian embassy. It's also been reported that around this time Kushner’s company had been seeking financing for its troubled $1.8 billion purchase of an office building on Fifth Avenue in New York 5) Flight records say the banker left the meeting with Jared and flew directly to Putin's location at the time. 6) According to the WH Kushner simply forgot to put this meeting, and the previous meeting with Kislyak on his SF86 a mere two weeks later? Slipped his mind? Explanations for Kushner’s meeting with head of Kremlin-linked bank don’t match up www.washingtonpost.com/politics/explanations-for-kushners-meeting-with-head-of-kremlin-linked-bank-dont-match-up/2017/06/01/dd1bdbb0-460a-11e7-bcde-624ad94170ab_story.html?tid=sm_tw&utm_term=.0c3b49a72e01

Why would Jared meet with a Russian Foreign Bank head who is on the US sanctions list as part of his transition duties? What's the mundane, non nefarious explanation? Anyone?

Shot: Chaser: House Intel Committee made unmasking requests before Nunes called them abuse of power hill.cm/mBnqy3w After dinner cocktail: Oh... Nunes made 6 requests, and Rice made 1..... His desire to turn a normal practice that he himself has used into something scandalous is doing harm to our National Security and public trust overall... Recap: This all started because the President lied about Obama "wiretapping him". It continues because he has willing partners on the Hill and in right wing media like Fox/others willing to coddle his delusions. The will of the Government has to be shifted to ensure Trump never has to admit a mistake or error. Nunes and his unmasking scandal have been unmasked as BS.....

Great moment to abuse the mayor of a grieving allied city. One of many distasteful statements from the President on Social media since the attack and as you might have guessed not exactly accurate.
How would Americans react if one of our cities was attacked and a foreign allied leader ran to Social Media to unfarely slam the mayor of the city attacked and push an agenda of fear?..... The guy is just trying to comfort his constituents like leaders do at these difficult moments... If one objective of terrorism is to spread fear Trump is like their Don King. Smh
Trump fired off a few statements promoting the vital importance of his muslim ban. Retweeted an inaccurate statement from Drudge saying 20 killed and then took off to Trump Golf course to relax...
Trump has filled 5 out of 53 top jobs at the Pentagon, and 2 out of 16 at the Department of Homeland Security. If you really cared about keeping Americans safe...

Sadiq Khan: “My message to Londoners and visitors to our great city is to be calm and vigilant today. You will see an increased police presence today, including armed officers and uniformed officers. There is no reason to be alarmed by this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" This is really bizarre, ugly, and as you can see from the quote above not true. It's odd how much Trump wants people to lose their mind and panic over this stuff..... Most leaders stress calm like Sadiq did, Trump stresses panic and pushes his travel ban. 5 out of 53 top jobs at the Pentagon, and 2 out of 16 at the Department of Homeland Security remained unfilled. Of 559 key positions needing confirmation: 442—No nominee 15—Awaiting nomination 63—Formally nominated 39—Confirmed wapo.st/2h2SPDY

According to this article Trump decided not to reaffirm Article 5 and instead berate world leaders on their NATO commitments on the fly... Trump National Security Team Blindsided by NATO Speech. politi.co/2rs9Gs5

"The $110 billion arms deal to Saudi Arabia is fake news" From Brookings ______________ In his May 21 Riyadh speech, POTUS called Qatar a "crucial strategic partner." and pledged to send them "beautiful weapons" This morning, a different message: Foreign policy by tweet...... All it took for Saudi Arabia to get the United States to abandon its alliance with Qatar was to throw a nice party for Trump and have their lobbyists spend a bunch of money at Trump properties.. dailycaller.com/2017/06/04/saudis-spent-270k-at-trump-hotel-in-lobbying-campaign-against-911-bill/Reminder as Trump attacks Qatar it is home to the U.S.'s largest military base in the Mideast. We carry out operations to 23 different countries from there according to reporting and have over 10,000 troops at that base. Worth noting that the reason for this is in the run up to the US-led invasion of Iraq, the Saudis said they would not allow American planes to carry out air strikes from the Prince Sultan base without a UN resolution authorising war. The US at that time decided to move the air command centre from Saudi Arabia to the Al-Udeid air base in neighboring Qatar.

The silence from the conservative members of this message board is deafening. If President Obama had asked Comey to drop the Hillary Clinton e-mails investigation in this manner, and was then made public like this, please tell me you would not be calling for Obama's impeachment.

Can't argue there. The tarmac meeting was entirely more graceful...

Don't be silly. Now, if he'd done something seriously egregious like recommending that transgender students be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice, then there'd be REAL problems worthy of talk of impeachment.
