talked about donald trump as though he were a normal republican. steve bannon, on the other hand, was not that. really not. despite their very distinct differences, both of them came from the same place. both had made a very good living off of one reclusive conservative hedge fund billionaire. before becoming donald trump s manager, kellyanne conway ran a super pact. a super pact that supported ted cruz in the republican presidential primary. that pact was almost entirely funded by new york city hedge fund billionaire robert mercer. then once trump won and cruz dropped out, that billionaire, robert mercer, and kellyanne conway who worked for him, they decided they would switch horses. conway stayed in charge of mercer s pact, but they changed its name, and they started running anti-clinton ads to help trump instead of running anti-trump ads to help ted cruz.

jane, thank you very much for being with us tonight. i really appreciate your time. glad to be with you. from what you understand about the mercer family and their intentions why they funded trump to the degree that they did, why they facilitated the movement of steve bannon and kellyanne conway over to the campaign, why they ve supported breitbart all these years. given your understanding of all those things, do you have a sense of what their role will be now that bannon is out? well, first of all, what their intentions were in the campaign was bob mercer is a kind of, as you say, very reclusive koof cooky political conspiracy theoryist who was driven by hatred of hillary clinton during the campaign. i mean, he literally believed that the clintons had murder the people and was susceptible to all right wing cooky theories.
fbi. that provocative news on wednesday. no other news organization has matched that rofgt over the course of this week until today when we managed to confirm that, in fact, peter is now working at human resources at the fbi now. don t ask me how we confirmed it. i will tell you over a beer sometime, but we did confirm it. he is out. he is in human resources now. the question remains why? the well-sourced reporter natasha bertrand at business insider she raises two interesting possibilities about this. the first is that question about the ongoing justice about the justice department s inspector general, which is looking into how the fbi handled hillary clinton s emails, and that investigation during the election. there s an inspector general investigation of how that was handled. peter was the fbi official who oversaw the fbi investigation into clinton s emails. is it possible that peter got caught up in the finding says of that inspector general
take the stage in any moment. lee greenwood is singing behind me singing the song that introduced a lot of his campaign events. people here are thrilled, and when they endorsed president trump, it was an anti-clinton, this is what will happen if hillary clinton takes office kind of event. the trump campaign warned that if she were to take office, she would take away all the guns, destroy all the magazines and put everyone on an administration. he talked about how proud he was of neil gorsuch and about how proud he was of general mattis and the other appointees of president trump. that s what i heard from a lot of people, a couple dozen of them, before the event actually started. they said maybe they ll see more action on the second amendment going forward, but right now they re just happy to have a president speaking at their event for the first time in 30 years. craig? what about the protestors
