But that would carry considerable risk of a bipartisan blowback. all right, the editorial board at the wall street journal urging radical transparency from president trump and his inner circle, citing don junior s russia e-mail revelations. they say the president and his family are repeating what they call the legacy of scandal, deception, and stonewalling that doomed hillary clinton. quoting here even if the ultimate truth of this tale is merely that don junior is a political dunce who took a meeting that went nowhere, the best case, trump s made it appear as if they have something to hide. they have created the appearance of a conspiracy, that on the evidence, don junior lacks the wit to concoct, and they handed their opponents another of the swords that by now could arm a roman legion. that is the editorial board of the wall street journal. the wall street journal is part of rupert murdoch s news empire, which generally supported mr. trump. wow. well, the u.s. dispen
Change their strategy towards the russia probe. they don t have much more time to do it. the wall street journal is part of rupert murdoch s news empire, which generally supports mr. trump. the u.s. dispensing a mixed message on iran s nuclear compliance, certifying that iran is still making good on the terms of the nuclear deal, but the trump administration says iran s nonnuclear activities show it s unquestionably in default of the spirit of the agreement. both the president and secretary of state rex tillerson have been fierce critics of the deal. a senior administration official says they re considering more sanctions targeting iran s ballistic missile program and state sponsorship of terrorism. people who fish, boat, jet ski and paddle board on the potomac unhappy with the new coast guard rule that closes a two-mile stretch of the river when president trump or a senior official are golfing at his club in virginia. the coast guard says it s for security reasons. the propos
