Happy valentines day to all of you from all of us. Did you finish my poem yet . No, im putting a lot of thought into after violets are blue. The first part comes off she is the author.

In the east in the u. S. Major questions this morning about who knew what and when after a Top White House official is forced to step down over allegations he abused two exwives. Were told rob porter will be out of the west wing today. He is the staff secretary effectively gate keeper to the president whose reputation had been on the rise. Sources told cnn that john kelly and others have known for months about the Domestic Violence claims which porter, we should note, denies. Sources say President Trump was upset when told about it this week. His daughter ivanka said to be deeply disturbed. Especially by the photos of the abuse. Porters exwives accused him of abuse during a background check which held up the permanent security clearance. One exwife told the Washington Post why she thinks more p
Or there will be nepotism suggestion for Jared Kushner or were all going to pretend they didnt say any of the things they said in the past week. I dont know. Im betting on the nepotism exception issued specifically by the president. He has the power to simply grant Jared Kushner whatever security clearance he decides to grant him. And then well see that little white house line that we see at the briefing every time where they say oh, we can never comment on security clearances. And thats the end of it. The thing interesting about this is by john kellys own design is this is a fuse that ends in a firecracker. He says this will all be done by friday. Hes going to be humiliated or Jared Kushner is going to be humiliated or the white house will have something to explain. But it will happen on a timeline by the end of this week. My i told you so moment last night. We talked about the 2 00 Briefing Schedule for today and i told you do not even look at the tv at 2 00. Do not worry, it wont st

These students have really become such a force in advocating for themselves in the wake of this tragedy. Whats the next step for them . Thats right, they really have become a mouthpiece for a national issue. There are about 100 students here and their parents. Theyre leaving in about 20 minutes. And i actually want to let one of them speak and he can tell you for himself. This is alfonsalfonso, hes a j.

This country undeniably has a gun culture and i believe thats one of the reasons somebody like nikola
Outfront breaking news, a new culprit and time line, white house is now blaming bureaucrats in own personal office to failing to act on Domestic Abuse against rob porter this as the white house is contradicting administration account on what they knew and when they knew it. Lets go to the time line. Today the fbi director Christopher Wray made clear the bureau informed white house against allegations bins porter months ago. The fbi submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in march. And then a completed Background Investigation in late july. Soon thereafter we requested requests for followup inquiry and we did the follow up and provided that information in november. And then we administratively closed the file in january. So to be clear, the fbi first submitted a partial report to the white house in march last year. They submitted the final report in late july.
