With information with my phone call with the russian ambassador. Andth was nothing to the story you are discussing. The new russian sanctions like old dies in the beauty shop. Moscow didnt respond in kind when president obama didnt react in kind when president obama booted the Russian Diplomats out of the country. The antiflynn Intelligence Community was rinsing in on he phone call and reading every text. Thanks to Edward Snowden we note nsa and every other intelligence apparatus is capable of spying on anyone at any time on any device. Thanks to Chuck Schumer some of them are waiting for a reason. He broke protocol by rubbing salve on russias wounds. It reminded me another play and lie. I did see the president at the Phoenix Airport the other night. As i was heading out, he came over and we talked about our grandchildren. No discussions were healed on any cases. Kennedy why didnt the cia, f. B. I. And nsa ever foil that ruse .

Lyndon johnson was certainly an imperial president. I think what we see in johnson we start to see the cusp of the end of the imperial president s in the United States. There have been president s the acted in three fleet since then. The bush, no doubt about that. But he was the last person i think to understand the use and abuse of power. Unfortunately, he abused it in many respects. As did many of the president s who succeeded him.
