Look for the team of Kellyanne and Sean to accuse the Wall Street Journal of being a leftist rag that is promoting fake news.

The White House likes it better when he's fighting with CNN because it gets the base all riled up.... It's Fake News CNN's fault Trump can't get anything done screaming "liberal media bias" while binge watching Fox...
It's a tool to keep folks in line and it works wonderfully according to them....

Peter W. Smith listed Bannon, Conway and Clovis, besides Flynn, in a recruiting document...
Combine this with the article SS linked about the Journals reporting. We're not there yet but interesting how a couple weeks ago allies of Trump switched from saying "no collusion" to "collusion is not a crime"

It's Fake News CNN's fault Trump can't get anything done screaming "liberal media bias" while binge watching Fox... It's a tool to keep folks in line and it works wonderfully according to them.... Opinion piece from that liberal rag National Review: Trump has shown himself intellectually and emotionally incapable of making the transition from minor entertainment figure to major political figure. He is in the strange position of being a B-list celebrity who is also the most famous man in the world. His recent Twitter attack on Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC’s Morning Joe exemplifies that as much as it does the president’s other by-now-familiar pathologies, notably his strange psychological need to verbally abuse women in physical terms.

As we mercifully end June and head into July with no major legislative accomplishments to speak of, but plenty of vile, misogynous tweets, an attempt to coerce the FBI Director into dropping a criminal investigation, and an Executive Order aimed at discriminating against Muslims going into partial effect (with once again no clear guidelines on how it will be enforced), it is already clear to me that this Presidency will go down as a blight on the proud history of our country.
I'm reflective as we celebrate Independence Day that our Union is strong, and confident we will survive this. However, I just don't see how in 10, 20, 30 years we're not looking back on these years with disgust and regret about the fact that we allowed this disgusting human being to get elected to our country's highest office.

I appreciate the sentiment as it's much more hopeful than my own. There are millions of people that are excited about and proud of the way this president has conducted himself, including how he's "defended himself" against the 'Morning Joe' hosts. This administration's attack on the press should be far more concerning to those that still support this president than, apparently, it is. Sadly, the president's Twitter feed doesn't need any credible sources or verification for people to believe it to be true or even remotely accurate. The trajectory of these first several months does not bode well for our future. Apologies for the lead balloon. Happy Fourth and fingers crossed for a brighter coming 6 months than the 6 previous. Best to all.

Interesting and balanced article about a Muslim Hoya practicing medicine in rural Minnesota in a county that voted for Trump. It is beyond sad that he considered wearing a bullet proof vest before giving his talks. The article doesn't mention whether the doctor's practice accepts Medicaid and whether many of those Trump voters will lose their health care insurance since Minnesota accepted Medicaid expansion and added an additional 167,000 Medicaid recipients as of 2016. He introduced himself as a doctor who had studied comparative religion at Georgetown with professors who were “the epitome of intellect and scholarship.” He said that what he learned was that if you want to understand Islam, or anything, “you have to be sincere” and “you have to use your brain.” www.washingtonpost.com/national/in-a-midwestern-town-that-went-for-trump-a-muslim-doctor-tries-to-understand-his-neighbors/2017/07/01/0ada50c4-5c48-11e7-9fc6-c7ef4bc58d13_story.html

At least I hope so.

With that lead, the FBI and Special Counsel have a great opportunity to develop the narrative and interview Conway, et al about whatever contacts, if any, they had with the late Mr. Smith. If they are untruthful (as Flynn apparently was in his FBI interview about his discussions with Kislyak) they are setting themselves up for an 18 USC 1001 false statement felony. BTW, I'm waiting for the conspiracy theories to spring up about Smith's untimely death occurring ten days after Harris interviewed him). But the guy was 81.

Since the Fox News President regained focus and started attacking the real enemy CNN yesterday let's meet Donald Trump's new tech guy who seems to be suffering from a huge amount of economic anxiety... Some of his other posts talk about stabbing Muslims and to check out the awesome new site "N***rmania.net" Special thanks to Trump for always being eager to elevate these voices This is the site some WH staffer was mining for memes... www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/If your unfamiliar. it's a reddit forum dedicated to the "God Emperor" Donald that is full of "real" news and also racist/antisemetic posts and imagery. Nice to see staff willing to go any and everywhere for tools to spread Trump's message.... As a special bonus Trump did an AMA for that site during the election and once again Republicans stepped up and said this is wrong! Lol nah they said get over it snowflake and don't call it deplorable or we'll be really upset.. P.S. Don't worry my friends on the right, even though Zucker hired Trump and remains his friend to this day, that CNN beef is totally legit. Definitely not a tool he uses to keep Republicans in line, and/or forget about how awful he is at his part time job of being POTUS.... ______________ Lawyer who's defended companies against discrimination suits is Trump's pick to lead the DOJ Civil Rights Division: bit.ly/2txZvEy Perfect....

AP: Trump and Putin meet this week. Putin will bring a specific list of demands. Trump, not so much. _____ White House says Trump's G20 meeting with Putin will be a formal bilateral sit-down, rather than a brief pull-aside cnn.it/2tHDRgnMust have a lot to say, nice upgrade for big daddy Vladdy. Trump continues to reward Putin for his election year interference with increased access for some reason... Conflicting reports on whether or not he will confront him on his election interference. Maybe we can convince Trump Vlad is a vicious CNN employee from the United States. That way he might view the Russian President as a threat...

Comparison between Nixon/Watergate and the current fool in the White House. A good read for those who are too young to remember Watergate or as a refresher for those who lived through it: What’s more likely is that the Trump administration will continue to mirror Garry Wills’s description of Nixon’s: “a world of little men using large powers incompetently from a combination of suspicion and panic.” The little men will continue to drive the country into a ditch. And GOP leaders will look the other way right up to that moment when Republicans in the 60 to 80 districts (according to FiveThirtyEight) more competitive than those in last week’s special elections figure out that they may have to choose between the minority of voters who are Trump’s irreducible base and a larger group, including Independents, who will determine whether they keep their jobs. nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/06/frank-rich-nixon-trump-and-how-a-presidency-ends.html

Here's the official apology from the WH.... Or Trump Org.. Hard to tell these days.... Assange and Donny Jr. wants to use an anti-KKK law to prosecute a news organization for reporting about a guy who copped to playing kkk racist online.... They have nothing to say about why the WH continues to visit these unhinged and racist sites looking for memes to promote the President.....
