i would push you lawyer to lawyer to say it referenced legitimate policy concerns about jim comey, but whether tfrs tit true is matter that mueller is investigating. was it the whole story from the d.o.j. about a personnel decision or was it citing potential legitimate criticisms in concert with a monday oval office meeting with a president who said i m firing him for other reasons, now give me a cover story. and he could have fired him much sooner. if that was true, that would have happened before trump got to the white house? he needed a story. he needed a story so we could have two trains running at the same time. at the same time, he asks rosenstein for his objective
the committee for responsible budget is very much against as you suspect. i think michael is right. it s almost impossible to do this with a margin of two votes in the senate. so, i just don t see how they re going to get this done and make the kinds of compromises. not only is trump obviously is incompetent president but you have the most bitterly divided legislature that i ve seen in my lifetime. i don t see how they do this. there is an obama effect here that even donald trump and republican congress are having trouble undoing some of the humanitarian or progressive things he s done. daca, these are kids who know know other country. who said it? is it a liberal, progressive. it s paul ryan today embracing an obama rule because once it was put in place, they don t want to undo it. right. it would with one thing if

who has been critical of russia, for instance. what researchers tell me is what they re seeing is these kinds of efforts where they can take opinions that are on the fringe of the internet and try to gain traction over sort of on social media so it becomes part of mainstream narrative. that s part of what we saw that researchers tracked at the digital forensic research lab around john mccain. within minutes they were trying to create this narrative. even if it was based on truth, senator mccain met with ukraine but what we re seeing is how they re taking that narrative and trying to push it to question how can someone like john mccain condemn what president s reaction to charlottesville. that s whaen this happened. sort of banking on these high
