Because that way you give it less oxygen to continue the news cycle. I think the other way you might want to talk about this is maybe just knock it down forcefully. Dismiss it out of hand as no merit. As i mentioned, it looks like the white house has decided to do the second option. That is simply ignore this. Dont give this as much oxygen perhaps as it would like to have in the news cycle. Although we did hear this from the president himself. Did you want to fire Robert Muleer . Fake news, folks. Typical New York Times fake stories. Did you ever want to fire Robert Mueller . Reporter there you go. Fake news. For the record, white house sources remind us that if the president wanted to fire bob mueller, he could. He has the right. The white house counsels, they do come and go, for that matter. They also point out he didnt fire mueller. Even if it was a conversation, it never happened so this is a nonstory being drummed up by the times about a conversation that happened seven months ago

On putins government, interference in our elections and active measures to sow divisions and chaos in our country must be met with swift and severe consequences. We need to do more. Another Top Republican is praising getting tough with moscow. Somebody said that mr. Putin wakes up every day wondering where the United States is having problems and wonders how can i make it worse. Theyre out of control, russia is. That needs to be dealt with one way or another, this is one way for us to discourage that. Other Top Republicans say all need to be pushing back on putins bad behavior. For democrats, the top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, adam schiff saying if President Trump believes that todays actions sufficiently addresses the sanctions package congress sent to respond to the election interference, hes sorely mistaken. The top democrat saying the must must say and do a whole lot more. More and more americans are asking, why is President Trump so afraid to take on probably ou
Said on hannity that the president reimbursed Michael Cohen for the 130,000 payment as the nondisclosure agreement. But he cast the payment as a retainer for Services Rendered and expenses incurred on Michael Cohens behalf, that the president was not reimbursing him for paying off Stormy Daniels. Merely reimbursing Michael Cohen for expenses he said he had. At the heart of the case is the potential for the violation according to Rudy Giuliani. A that is what he believes he is pursuing. And the fact that the president reimbursed cohen for the payment to Stormy Daniels takes it off the table. Listen to what he said. He was definitely reimbursed. No doubt about it. Why did he say he wasnt . Maybe, maybe first of all, if we had to defend this as not being a campaign contribution, we could do that. This was for personal reasons. The president had been hurt personally. Not politically. Personally so much. And the first lady by some of the false allegations that one more false allegations six
