rachael asked the usual experts about the extra guy coming with mueller.. after their descriptions, I wouldn't worry about him. not a political appointee.. described as humble, honest, upright.. so I feel better about that. i felt just fine about it after Trumps tweet. Dude what are you afraid of, I thought you ‘weren’t guilty’ ‘no collusion’ what’s the issue then?

trump...
”Just got back only to hear of a last minute change allowing a Never Trumper attorney to help Robert Mueller with his testimony before Congress tomorrow. What a disgrace to our system. Never heard of this before. VERY UNFAIR, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. A rigged Witch Hunt!”
trump 4 hours later...
”So Robert Mueller has now asked for his long time Never Trumper lawyer to sit beside him and help with answers. What’s this all about? His lawyer represented the “basement server guy” who got off free in the Crooked Hillary case. This should NOT be allowed. Rigged Witch Hunt!”
It seems trump is a bit worried...

From CNN - Yet another example of trump’s way of #MAGA. “Trump administration proposal could kick 3 million off food stamps”“CNN) The Trump administration wants to tighten the rules governing who qualifies for food stamps, which could end up stripping more than 3 million people of their benefits. The Agriculture Department issued a proposed rule Tuesday that curtails so-called broad-based categorical eligibility, which makes it easier for Americans with somewhat higher incomes and more savings to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the formal name for food stamps. It is the administration's latest step to clamp down on the food stamps program, which covers 38 million Americans, and other public assistance services. It wants to require more poor people to work for SNAP benefits, and it is looking to change the way the poverty threshold is calculated, a move that could strip many low-income residents of their federal benefits over time. Broad-based categorical eligibility allows states to streamline the food stamps application process for folks who qualify for certain benefits under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Some 40 states, plus the District of Columbia, use this option, which lets them eliminate the asset test and raise one of the income thresholds. Republicans have long argued that this expanded eligibility option is a "loophole" that permits those with higher incomes and assets to get public assistance. GOP lawmakers have tried to limit it several times -- including in last year's farm bill, though it didn't make it into the final version. The proposed USDA rule is expected to save $2.5 billion a year. "For too long, this loophole has been used to effectively bypass important eligibility guidelines," said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, who pointed out on a call with reporters that a millionaire in Minnesota recently enrolled through the option to highlight the problems with it. "That is why we are changing the rules, preventing abuse of a critical safety net system, so those who need food assistance the most are the only ones who receive it." Consumer advocates, however, say that the option helps low-income working Americans get the help they need. They still must meet the disposable income threshold for the food stamp program, though they can have a higher gross income (before deductions such as child care costs are taken into account). The option is "an opportunity-oriented policy to promote work and promote savings," said Stacy Dean, vice president for food assistance at the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.“ And they’ll promote this as “less people on food stamps” having people believe it’s because they don’t need the food (FOOD!!!) because they are doing better financially, not because the parameters to qualify changed.

”So Democrats and others can illegally fabricate a crime, try pinning it on a very innocent President, and when he fights back against this illegal and treasonous attack on our Country, they call It Obstruction? Wrong! Why didn’t Robert Mueller investigate the investigators?

So this is from The Boston Globe this morning. Nice, we have a president who not only has never read the constitution, but doesn't care what it actually says:
Donald Trump believes being president means he has the right to do what whatever he wants. That’s the message he delivered — not for the first time — on Tuesday while addressing a crowd of teenagers and young adults at the Turning Point USA Teen Student Action Summit in Washington.
There are numerous viral video clips from Trump’s 80-minute speech at the conference, but one of the most interesting bits came as he discussed Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which describes the powers of the president.
‘‘Then, I have an Article II, where I have to the right to do whatever I want as president,’’ he said. ‘‘But, I don’t even talk about that.’’

”It was NEVER agreed that Robert Mueller could use one of his many Democrat Never Trumper lawyers to sit next to him and help him with his answers. This was specifically NOT agreed to, and I would NEVER have agreed to it. The Greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history, by far!”

The sacrifices they made & the lengths they went to, to deliver us from a petulant, monarch who had lost his grip on reality only to have Republicans serve us up on a plate now to one that is by far much worse. Plutocracy is a feudal system folks. Is that what you want?

Never heard of this before. VERY UNFAIR, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. A rigged Witch Hunt!” Disgrace? dt couldn't even answer Mueller's question by himself. He had a team of lawyers helping him and they may have written his answers!!

Something to think about!!

Kyle Griffin...
”This seems consequential. Mueller explains his team decided against subpoenaing Trump "because of the necessity of expediting" the probe: "The reason we didn't do the interview is because of the length of time it would take to resolve the issue attended to that." Via ABC”
Ken Starr’s Clinton investigation lasted from August 1994 to September 1998.
So what was the reason for the rush in getting the trump one done that Mueller couldn’t do what was needed to be done to interview trump? Was there a time factor put on the investigation by Sessions or Barr? If so, what would their justification be?

Why is Trump happy with the hearing results from today? Does he truly not understand the words that Mueller said?
Is he really that inept? Does he not understand?
He's going to go to his rally beaming from what he feels was a "win."
But the facts of his obstruction were laid out piece by piece, unmistakably.

He is just saying that for his base or the people who did not watch the testimony. He claims everything as a win. A gaslighting extraordinaire! The likes of which we have never seen! Utterly ridiculous.

One view..
trump...
”The Democrats lost so BIG today. Their Party is in shambles right now...”
”The Democrats had nothing...”
And another view...
Ben Rhodes...
”Russia attacked our democracy. Trump campaign sought its help, had many contacts with Russians, lied about it and obstructed the investigation into it. Several senior Trump associates were convicted of crimes. Trump would have been indicted if he wasn’t President. Not complicated”

Barr appeared and the investigation was quickly over!

Fox News headline..
”In resurfaced interview, Ilhan Omar answers question on 'jihadist terrorism' by saying Americans should be 'more fearful of white men'
I would add one word “angry” white men and since most of the mass shootings over the past couple of years have been by angry white guys she may have a valid point.

It wasn’t a mistake, that was done deliberately. And I’ll admit to my immaturity, I got a giggle out of it. Admittedly, that would be different if he were for example, representing the United States at an international event.

Did you see clips of that Turning Point USA speech? Chills will run up and down your spine. Not so much from what Trump was saying because it’s the same racist garbage he’s been peddling. It was the reaction of the young people (teens, I think) that will stun you. It wasn’t just applause. It was a boisterous cheering. These are our teens and it will make your blood run cold.

Given the Russian meddling in our election in 2016 and Mueller’s dire warnings, why are Republicans opposing two election security bills and a cybersecurity measure initiated by Democrats? The bills “would require campaigns to alert the FBI and Federal Election Commission about foreign offers of assistance, as well as a bill to let the Senate Sergeant at Arms offer voluntary cyber assistance for personal devices and accounts of senators and staff.” What is so objectionable about these that would even warrant opposition? I’m so cynical now that I think they want a repeat of Russian interference to help re-elect Trump.

(CNN)An audiovisual aide for conservative student group Turning Point USA was fired this week after President Donald Trump appeared on a stage in front of a parody image of the presidential seal at its Teen Student Action Summit.
** "We're sorry for the mix-up and meant no disrespect to the White House or the President or the advance team," the TPUSA source said.
The individual responsible, a member of TPUSA's AV team, was let go in the wake of the incident. According to a source familiar with the event, the incident was just a terrible Google search mistake. TPUSA had event branding on the screens, but during a run through ahead of Trump's remarks a few hours before the event, the team was told they had to change the branding to a presidential seal, prompting a search for a high quality image.
"One of our video team members did a Google Image search for a high-res png (file) presidential seal," a source familiar with the incident said, adding that the individual "did the search and with the pressure of the event, didn't notice that it is a doctored seal."
