Unfairly. What is wrong with having an overzealous watch Dog Committee . And isnt getting rid of this office the kind of swampy stuff that republicans across America Elected donald trump to get rid of . Theyre bringing anonymous charges and trying them in a public arena. A person targeted by that has to defend themselves after theyve been attacked publicly when they dont have a right to face their accuser. Thats a right that goes right back to jesus himself standing before the high priest. Im going to read it off the screen here, with all that congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the independent ethics watchdog as unfair as it is . So the President Elect appears to be making the argument that you guys have a lot of other things on their plate. Why make this the first move in secret the way it went down last night . I would have been happy to bring that to the floor and let
democrats vote on that independently. I think you would have seen strong support
Carried political and potentially legal peril. The strategy, the advisers agreed, should be for donald trump jr. To release a statement to get ahead of the story. They wanted to be truthful, so their account Couldnt Be Repudiated later if the full details emerged. But within hours, at the president s direction, the plan changed. Flying home from germany on july 8th aboard air force one, trump personally dictated a statement in which trump jr. Said he and the russian lawyer had primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children. When they met in june 2016, according to multiple people, with knowledge of the deliberations, the statement, issued to the New York Times, as it prepared a story, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was, quote, not a Campaign Issue at the time. The claims were later shown to be misleading. Further down in the washingtwa post story, quote, as special Counsel Robert Mueller investigates potential obstruction as part of his broader probe o
This is so far looking at the reelect, they seem to have a rule about who has the legal fees paid for by campaign donors. You have to be named donald trump. Did good thing for the trump family is they have two of those guys. Two people. Junior and senior. Ivanka needs anything, uhhuh. Kushner, do you get any money . Exactly. Poor mike pence, next week, is going to be raising money for the trump reelection fund. Hes raised money for his own pac and donated that money to the trump reelection fund paying for juniors legal fees and mike pence pays for his own. The funniest part is he then has to sell the plasma to help jared and the other non donald trump Family Members pay their legal fees. Running out of blood. Yeah. You know that the president s going to volunteer him. Tap mike. Hes healthy. The paler he looks, the more hes pumping into the trump
family legal fees. Thank you. Have a great weekend. Thank you. You too. All right. I m in for launs odonnell. To rally tonight in alabama, don
Handle. What happened, in my opinion, is unacceptable. People have been talking about repeal and replace for seven years. Long before i ever decided to be doing what im doing. Seven years theyve been talking repeal and replace and it didnt happen. Not only didnt happen, it was a surprise. It was a horrible surprise. It was very unfair to the Republican Party and very unfair to the people of this country. I was not impressed. Now, can he do good . I think so. I think we can do well on tax, cuts, reform. I think well do well on infrastructure and things will happen with respect to health care. I think things will happen maybe outside of necessarily needing congress. Theres nithings i can do as president that will have a huge impact on health care. Have you spoken to the governor of guam, and what did you tell him . I have not. I feel they will be very safe. If anything happens to guam, theres going to be big, big trouble in north korea. Have you ordered any change in our Military Readine
Ocasio-Cortez Criticizes SALT Cap Repeal Effort: Stimulus Update Bloomberg 9 hrs ago Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized calls by a group of House members to repeal the $10,000 cap on deductions for state and local taxes, saying it would be a “giveaway to the rich.” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden separately said it’s “unreasonable” for Republicans to demand that corporations should not pay for roads, bridges and port upgrades.
Meantime, a group of Republican senators said they’ll prepare a counteroffer to President Joe Biden’s $2.25 trillion infrastructure-and-tax plan, without indicating its size or how they’d pay for it. Senator Chris Coons, a key Biden ally, said he’s talking with GOP counterparts about potentially splitting off a bipartisan package of measures from the giant program the White House has pitched.
