Attorney may have implicated one of his current attorneys, perhaps the president himself in a serious crime, the breaking news hit hard late today and frankly its still playing out tonight. Newly released testimony of Michael Cohen telling a House Committee saying that jay sekulow knew that his testimony was false. That news landed just as a d. C. District court judge gave the president s Accounting Firm seven days to hand over years of his financial records to the House Oversight committee. The judge refusing to stay the order pending appeal writing, im quoting here, the president is subject to the same legal standards as any other litigant, which speaks to several other stories which could fill the hour not to mention a court docket or two. Signs the president may be getting ready to issue more pardons. This time to at least two and possibly more alleged war criminals. And the white house directing former White House Counsel Don Mcgahn to defy a subpoena. To appear tomorrow before th
President trump not holding back on twitter, essentially suggesting that congressman amash is doing this for publicity. Take a look at the two tweets the president sent out earlier today. He makes the case that amash did not actually read the Mueller Report because he didnt mention anything about no obstruction. The president has repeated this claim that mueller exonerated him on obstruction of justice when, in fact, mueller did not weigh in on that in the report. He pointed out at least ten occasions where the president tried to interfere in the russia investigation a enyou can see there at the end of the tweet, the president calls amash a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands. Its important to point out justin amash is really an outlier when it comes to republicans views on the Mueller Report. Many more republicans align themselves with people like senator mitt romney, who spoke to jake tapper this morning on state of the union. Listen to what mitt romney said. I respe

A few minutes if hes going to bring that same rage to the stage when he holds a town hall in grand rapids, michigan. Were going to be watching that live when that happens. Republican outrage because of this administration when it comes to things they would do if obama did them, are hard to find these days, even in the midst of lots of situational outrageous behavior, if you will, there was near complete silence after the president tweeted this weekend, the following quote. North korea fired off some small weapons which disturbed some of my people and others but not me. I have confidence that chairman kim will keep his promise to me and i also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low iq individual and worse. Perhaps thats sending me a signal. There was near complete silence from republicans after the president repeated that he was not bothered by the missiles while standing next to the japanese Prime Minister, a u. S.

Zero abortion providers. The republican governor of missouri last week signed one of these draconian new abortion bans that all the republicancontrolled states are passing now. Missouri before that was already down to only one clinic that provides abortions in that entire state. And thats a big state. Well, today that clinic announced that the state of missouri also appears to be denying them a renewal of their license, which they need to operate in that state. And that means by the end of this week republicans for the first time believe they may have succeeded in one american state in banning abortion.

The doctor who operates that last clinic, who believ
