Trump: Mueller report 'ridiculous' but should be released

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he believes special counsel Robert Mueller's report should be released to the public, even as he disparaged its very existence as "ridiculous."

"Let it come out, let people see it," Trump told reporters as he left the White House on Wednesday for a trip to Ohio. "Let's see whether or not it's legit."

Mueller is expected to present a report to the Justice Department any day now outlining the findings of his nearly two-year investigation into Russian election meddling, possible collusion with Trump campaign officials and possible obstruction of justice by Trump".

Trump administration refuses to hand over documents to House oversight investigation

Despite the president’s assurances to the contrary, Donald Trump ordered his former chief of staff John Kelly to grant his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his daughter Ivanka Trump, a top-level security clearance, overruling security officials and top career veterans.
Kelly, who was ousted from his White House role in December, detailed the order in a contemporaneous memo written in May of last year, as did the White House counsel at the time, Don McGahn.
[The GOP just sits there allowing Trump to strip the security clearances of top Generals who have worked for the Government and in Washington DC for decades, etc.etc. while allowing Trump to go over the heads of the highest officials who denied security clearances to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.



Well, weren't Jr and Nunes talking about how EVERYTHING in the Mueller investigation should be made public? IF they truly believe in this openness then it calls into question the endless denials, lies, and obstruction that we have seen for the last three years from the Trump and GOP. Why would the Trump family try so hard to derail investigations and prevent the release of materials that they say completely vindicate them? Given how well composed and rational the Trump's have been at dealing with the various scandals that have plagued their administration I would heartily encourage them to testify before Congress!

This is one thing that Trump makes sense about. Of course, he wants to keep it. If it hadn't been for the Electoral College he would have never made into office. It's not like he was really voted in by the people. The majority voted Democrat in 2016.

By Something over 3 million votes, the Democrats won in 2016. If they had gone by the popular vote, Trump would have lost by a landslide. It's really bad that a person running for president can actually lose, and still be president. And look at what an embarrassment we have in office because of it.

Trump calls George Conway 'a total loser!'

President Trump on Tuesday called George Conway, a prominent conservative lawyer and the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, “a total loser” after he questioned the president’s mental health.

http://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-calls-george-conway-a-total-loser-134956435.html


"Trump attacked, among other things, Google, General Motors, the United Auto Workers, Hillary Clinton, the Paris climate accord, France, the “Fake News” media, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, Arthel Neville and Leland Vittert, the late Sen. John McCain, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation..."
Pretty much everything but Putin.

Does this sound like Trump to you? "He never allows the public to cool off, never admits fault or wrongdoing, never concedes that there may be some good in his enemies, never leaves room for alternatives, never accepts blame, concentrates on one enemy at a time and blames them for everything that goes wrong, and if you repeat a lie frequently enough eventually people will believe it.". Well, this isn't from the manual that George Conway referenced and it's not even about Trump. The statement is from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the predecessor of the CIA, Report on the Psychological Profile of Adolf Hitler that was written in 1943, but which describes Trump's actions to a tee today.

I'll never be a Republican. For about the past 10 years or so the Republicans have become one of the most sleazy parties of them all. But John Mcain, I respected him. If it hadn't been for that talking head he had as a running mate, he would have made a president. I can say that even though I think Republicans in the past 10 years are about as low as it gets, John Mcain was one of the last of the ones that were decent.

I might not have agreed with a lot of Mcain's policies, But he would have made 10 times the president that Trump ever will. I believe if he had made president, he would have been a president all of American could be proud of.



I believe that John Mcain saw Trump for what he really is. And that is why Trump continues to attack a dead man.

Trump responds to impeachment storm in early morning Twitter tirade about TV shows and 'stone cold killers'


"I greatly appreciate Nancy Pelosi’s statement against impeachment, but everyone must remember the minor fact that I never did anything wrong, the Economy and Unemployment are the best ever, Military and Vets are great - and many other successes!" the president tweeted.

"How do you impeach a man who is considered by many to be the President with the most successful first two years in history, especially when he has done nothing wrong and impeachment is for 'high crimes and misdemeanors'?"

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-impeachment-tweet-nancy-pelosi-democrat-response-a8820641.html


I think it's hilarious that Pelosi can make Trump lose his mind at will. Second, perhaps he should crack a book and read something about history, Richard Nixon specifically. Nixon's accomplishments far exceed Trumps. Strategic Arms Limitation Talks talks led to detente with the Soviet Union, The Anti Ballistic Missile treaty with the Soviet Union that deescalated nuclear tensions, normalized relations with China, the Nixon doctrine that defined our national interest and committed to honoring all existing treaties with allies, eliminated Soviet dominance in the Middle East, initiated Project Independence in response to the oil embargo to put the US on a path to energy independence, ended the draft, started the EPA, oversaw the desegregation of southern schools, signed Title IX to end gender bias in colleges and universities, supported the 26th Amendment lowering the voting age to 18, gave Native Americans the right of self-determination, turned the FBI loose on organized crime, supported judicial restraint in his SCOTUS appointments, committed to the war on cancer, and made kidney dialysis universally available to Americans.

Trump has the most unpopular tax cut in American history, failed negotiations with North Korea, and the longest government shutdown in American history.

Nixon was forced from office by his own party for the Watergate scandal while articles of impeachment were being drafted. Trump has at least one scandal every month that makes Watergate look like child's play.

Bill Clinton got impeached for a biological stain on a blue dress belonging to an adult intern. Trump and his minions actually had a process for generating NDA's to pay off porn stars, which BTW is probably the least of his scandals. Donald, do the math.

I believe that this will finally come down to, can they prove that Trump knew all of this? If he did, I believe then they will impeach him. But, if they prove that he knew nothing, he is just the ignorant moron he acts and talks like he is, He will always be thought of as a stupid moron that's so blind and naive that he couldn't see what was going on around him? He still winds up looking really bad. Either way, he goes.

For Trump, there is just no good outcome. One way he's a crook. The other, he's an idiot.

Trump says people are so angry about investigations into him they are 'fleeing' New York

Trump has claimed without providing evidence that people are leaving New York “in record numbers” because they are upset at the state’s investigations into his family business.

“New York State and its Governor, Andrew Cuomo, are now proud members of the group of PRESIDENTIAL HARASSERS,” Mr Trump tweeted on Tuesday evening. “No wonder people are fleeing the State in record numbers. The Witch Hunt continues!”

The president’s criticism of Mr Cuomo came in an apparent response to a New York Times report that New York attorney general Letitia James’ decision to issue subpoenas to two banks for documents related to a number of Trump hotel projects.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-twitter-new-york-governor-andrew-cuomo-hotels-investigation-a8820411.html

"Donald Trump has claimed without providing evidence that people are leaving New York “in record numbers” because they are upset at the state’s investigations into his family business. Trump only got 40% of the votes in New York. They are not upset, they are dancing in the streets celebrating.


If they are leaving, it's due to the new Trump tax laws that changed the deductions that greatly impacted those living in a state that has a state income tax and gave a HUGE tax cut to the top 1% and corporations and drove up the national debt.


It must sting that Trump's own home state and home city do not want him. Accept on a WANTED poster. The majority of New Yorkers are delighted with the investigations.


I wonder who Trump talks to and are they real? or just his imaginary friends? The people I talk to from New York (also New Jersey and Massachusetts) say they investigations are long overdue. I have family there. Trump has done some really dirty dealings in NY. He's hurt a lot of people. Over half of the state was glad when he left. They were also horrified when he won the presidency. Because New Yorkers know what kind of man he really is.

But there is data that people are leaving the Republican Party, with 9 million more blue than red votes across all 435 house seats in 2018. Seems trump is successful at making about 250,000 new voters for Democrats monthly.

Donald Trump has been tied to a federal crime by prosecutors. Can a president be indicted?

"Prosecutors have tied Donald Trump to a federal crime for the first time, accusing him of directing illegal hush-money payments to women during his presidential campaign in 2016".

New York Attorney General Opens Investigation of Trump Projects

"The New York attorney general’s office late on Monday issued subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank for records relating to the financing of four major Trump Organization projects and a failed effort to buy the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League in 2014, according to a person briefed on the subpoenas".

The inquiry opens a new front in the scrutiny of Deutsche Bank, one of the few lenders willing to do business with Donald J. Trump in recent years. The bank is already the subject of two congressional investigations and was examined last year by New York banking regulators, who took no action.

http://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/11/nyregion/deutsche-bank-trump.html


Think about the highlighted sentence and ask yourself. Why? Why is this bank just about the only one that will do business with him? What has he done in his business dealings that would make many banks not want to do business with him?

About the only thing, I can think of, all his bankruptcies. Failure to pay back the loans. Which gives a pretty good explanation of why he is in bed with Putin. His own son said,

ERIC TRUMP: “WE HAVE ALL THE FUNDING WE NEED OUT OF RUSSIA”

"According to a Boston radio interview with golf journalist James Dodson, Eric Trump tells Dodson that Trump golf courses heavily relied on funding from Russia. Eric Trump denies this allegation".

This has already been proven as true.

Donald Trump's Many, Many, Many, Many Ties to Russia

"Russian intelligence agencies have allegedly recently digitally broken into four different American organizations that are affiliated either with Hillary Clinton or the Democratic Party since late May. All of the hacks appear designed to benefit Donald Trump’s presidential aspirations in one fashion or another".

http://time.com/4433880/donald-trump-ties-to-russia/

So, to say that Pelosi is stepping back because they have nothing on Trump, that's just not true. They have a LOT on Trump. Pelosi is not a dummy. You don't get where she is by being a dummy. I think she knows more than she lets on. She's holding back.

We will find out in the end I guess.
