about carl icahn on the campaign trail and that s because carl icahn is a famous rich person and investor. once president trump won the election, he then named mr. icon to be a special advisor to the president on regulatory reform. you see that title in the headline of the press release. that title did not last long. carl icahn would claim that that press release never had been issued. he never had been given that title. when it emerged that these regulations he had been advising the president about were regulations where he personally had hundreds of millions of dollars riding on the white house decision on those matters. that caused him to leave the white house and pretend like he had never been there in the first place. well, now center for american progress and the washington post say once again carl icahn appears to be financially inbred with the trump white house. two weeks ago, mr. icon apparently had the foresight to sell off more than $30 million
fundamentals of the scandal haven t changed with the press release/indictment on friday that is going to go nowhere. sean: that was a political document, that indictment, t because they know that they are not going to arrest any of the people, but your point is well taken, that there is russian interference,en there was, and hillary clinton s campaign and the dnc brought to the russians in, dr. gorka, they paid the russians to be involved in this, short of the trolls, and why wouldn t the russians think that they could get away with it? vladimir putin put his operatives in america and got our uranium, why would they think anything else? there are categories from the cold war, michael moore was a useful idiot when he shows up at the administration against donald trump that is organized by the russians, but we are not talking about useful idiots when it comes to the fisa courts surveillance and the steele dossier. let s use a phrase from the

zeroing in on air force one meeting about the release, the press release. those are four words. we don t know what the context was. we don t know if she said them. she denies it. wherewith the purpose was. the other thing is this is a statement released to the media. this wasn t the statement given to the fbi. when i think it s interesting about cultivators it wasn t that long ago the democrats were saying the fbi was politically biased against hillary. they were saying there were some fbi agents who leaked to rudy giuliani, put pressure on james comey to release information about the emails found on anthony weiner s laptop. maybe there is something on the left and right in the fbi. bret: wall street journal
