I'm really surprised this hasn't already become a thread. FBI refuses WH request to downplay Russia connections/investigationSo what else has happened in the last week? Russia's ambassador to the UN dies at 64And a consul died in AthensVery curious. Now, whether all of these deaths are coincidences or not one thing merits discussion - the WH asked the FBI to downplay the Russian ties investigation, and the FBI said no. I remember when Clinton meeting with Lynch when there "might" be an investigation was a Very Big Deal. So this is quite obviously a Very Big Deal as well (unless, of course, you feel that outrage is only appropriate when it's Clinton doing it, but not someone from the Republican party.

Somewhat different topic but having to do with the intelligence community, that the WH has been shopping various branches of the IC for a report that supports their narrative on the new ban. Supposedly they are not finding said info and that the IC is not moved by their demands.
The Republicans are drunk on their power right now but I KNOW at some point, the devil is coming for their souls!

It seems like the White House is really trying to force all the agencies into supporting their narrative, but they aren't complying.

I love that clown is finding out that government agencies don't have to fall in line with what he wants. He really, really needs a constitutional law class, civics class and other "get a clue" classes that explain how the three branches and the agencies that fall under each work and who answers to who.

To paraphrase John McCain ... it may not be his intention to become a dictator ... but this IS how dictators get their start. sigh
