And as this is placing out, the president is making it Crystal Clear to the public what is on his mind today. Can you guess where . Twitter of course. Hes criticizing a range of enemies, the leaker, Robert Muellers investigation, and of course democrats. Who was barred from todays twitter rant, putin and any actual criticism against russia.

To Robert Mueller . President s personal lawyers, theyll make that decision. Or make a recommendation to the president on that. I dont think anythings off the table. But now with cobb stepping aside, with the addition of flood, trumps legal team could take a more adversarial posture when it comes to Robert Mueller and that could set the stage for a more contentious fight going forward. The big question we are asking about this development, do the changes in trump a s legal tea suggest that he is going to war with mueller. Weve learned the special counsels legal team is trying to figure out a way to compel the president to testify. At a meeting back in march, reportedly the meeting turned tense when the special counsel to was told he had no other option but he claimed he does.

Seven days and counting. In arizona, the democrat wins. In the sunshine state, clouds of uncertainty. As both sides blame the others for chaos in florida. Rick scott isnt interested in making sure every lawful vote is counted. Using the power as governor to try to undermine the voting process. Bill nelson is clearly a sore leader. Cant stand the fact hes not going to elected. Whos next . An association of trump ally robert stone and wikileaks. The entire discussion has blown up. Now i fully anticipate that the next few days i will be indicted by mueller. All right. Were going to get to that big flip in arizona in a moment but we must begin this morning with the wildfires.
