One source telling me the president will make remarks about china, upcoming a press conference from the rose garden we expect to hear from the president moments from now. You mentioned reuters report about hong kong, the autonomy act passed by congress.

That puts the clock at about that time that the president would have to take some sort of action as today, on the hong kong autonomy act which would allow, call for sanctions on certain indiv

Terms told him. Judge sullivan again proving hes a partisan activist trying to destroy the life of general flynn. And, by the way, not making the judiciary look any better. The d. C. Court of appeals doesnt have to take up the judges request. Well see what happens. Judge sullivans decision follows a major day at the Supreme Court, a day of important victories again for President Trump. The justices closed out their term by delivering split opinions on two cases concerning the release of President Trumps tax returns and financial records. In separate rulings, justices delivered a victory for President Trump in blocking the radical dems in congress from having access to the president s financial records. At the same time, the High Court Also ruled President Trump nor does any president in their ruling have absolute immunity from prosecution, as if that was the issue.

The cabinet position since february of last year. He had been scheduled to appear in march but, of course, the china virus pandemic interrupted that. Chair jerry nadler further delayed the hearing today. He got into a car accident on his way to capitol hill. Once that hearing did get underway, the radical dems proved themselves to be nothing more than idealogues, scared to death of attorney general barr. So much so they wouldnt let him talk. They wouldnt give him even a moment to respond to any of their questions. And as it turned out, from one radical dem congressman to the next, they had nothing to say except spew more leftwing propaganda. The attorney general subjected himself to their insults, their rude behavior, and they seemed to be pretending to be his equals intellectually. It was clear to all that they were not. The attorney general stated there was absolutely no basis for the states prosecution of general Michael Flynn. I think what the counsel concluded was that the only pu
