Donald J. Trump 

@realDonaldTrump

Why did the Obama Administration start an investigation into the Trump Campaign (with zero proof of wrongdoing) long before the Election in November? Wanted to discredit so Crooked H would win. Unprecedented. Bigger than Watergate! Plus, Obama did NOTHING about Russian meddling.

Apart from the occasional tweet, he has yet to shoot from the hip.

Definitely plausible! (apart from the aircon filters)

Workers of firm involved with the discredited and Fake Dossier take the 5th. Who paid for it, Russia, the FBI or the Dems (or all)? 11:56 AM - Oct 19, 2017

"It's unclear what Fusion GPS had dug up by the time Perkins Coie hired it or how much money was involved in the transaction. The Clinton campaign and the DNC paid Perkins Coie more than $9 million – although it’s uncertain how much of that money, if any, went toward the dossier."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/10/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-sues-buzzfeed-russia-dossier

"Donald Trump’s personal lawyer is suing news website BuzzFeed almost exactly a year after it published an explosive dossier containing serious and salacious allegations about collusion with Russia."

Michael Cohen posted on Twitter on Tuesday night: “Enough is enough of the #fake #RussianDossier. Just filed a defamation action against @BuzzFeedNews for publishing the lie filled document on @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and me!”
Source inside Trump campaign reported concerns to FBI, new transcript suggests
Cohen told Bloomberg News he had also filed a second defamation suit against political intelligence firm Fusion GPS, which compiled the dossier, in federal court."

IF as Dan Bongino states, repeately, the appointment of Mueller was a smokescreen, to draw attention away from Democrat crimes against private citizens, whilst still in the White House, then Libel claims are not going to be at the top of the list of worries for some.

Slowly slowly catchee monkey maybe.

Yes, I think that is what he is doing.

Everything changes when someone is arrested under US Criminal Law. Trump cannot be perceived to have interrupted, or interfered with, the Mueller investigation.

An investigation should be able to conclude that no stone was left unturned, in the search for evidence and proof. Mueller may be operating under instructions that limit the stones he can even see.

There must be some people within the FBI who know exactly which stones to turn over, and exactly what they will find underneath, but their voices have yet to be heard.

Trey Gowdy becomes a Legal Gun for hire after the Mid Term elections, and the FBI may have lost some of their retained experts on Law by then.

On Radio 4 10pm news, they had someone from Spur (?) Bank providing an opinion about the Russian poisoning. Would that would be the same Spur Bank featured in Dan Bongino's piece?

Russians were almost certainly involved with this poisoning, and British Secret Squirrels will know who his enemies were, and possibly why he was poisoned. Whether it was Kremlin, Putin or rivalry between Russian Oligarchs, I have no idea, but gangland hits are either revenge for previous actions, or to prevent future actions by the victim and/or his associates - a warning that you can't hide.

A lot of "Russian" money is invested in London property, and many Russians live in London, considering it provides better personal and physical safety, and also improved immunity from Russian Law. This gentleman was not poisoned in London.

Why do you think Trump's team continues to lose its important people ? Another one, an economics advisor, gone yesterday. It really is odd and I would welcome explanations - speculations or excuses.

Supertroll, here is a list from Reuters.

From inauguration, there are those that were "set-up" by outgoing Democrats.
There are those that were exposed by mud flingers from the swamp.
There are those that had a "clash of personalities" with Trump.

Trump is used to being surrounded by subordinates who will action his ideas and orders. He is not a Diplomat. He has very good evidence NOT to trust people. I don't imagine he is very good at delegating, and then accepting the decisions of others, if they disagree with his own ideas.

Factbox: Cohn resignation is latest Trump administration departure

Reuters Staff

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, resigned on Tuesday, a move that came after he lost a fight over Trump’s plans for hefty steel and aluminum import tariffs.

The following is a partial list of officials who have been fired or have left the administration since Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2017, as well as people who were nominated by him for a position but did not take the job:

2018

Hope Hicks - the White House communications director, one of Trump’s longest-serving and most trusted aides, resigned on Feb. 28. She was the fourth person to hold the post since Trump became president.

Rob Porter - the White House staff secretary, a senior adviser in charge of much of the documentation that went to Donald Trump for his signature, resigned in early February following accusations of domestic abuse from two former wives.

2017

Richard Cordray - the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s first director resigned in November. Trump designated White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney as acting director, but Cordray named a deputy director as his replacement, triggering a political and legal battle. Four days later, a federal court ruled in Trump’s favor.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned under pressure from Trump on Sept. 29 in an uproar over Price’s use of costly private charter planes for government business.

Stephen Bannon - Trump’s chief strategist, who had been a driving force behind the president’s anti-globalization and pro-nationalist agenda that helped propel him to election victory, was fired by Trump in mid-August. He had repeatedly clashed with more moderate factions in the White House.

Reince Priebus - the former chairman of the Republican National Committee was replaced by John Kelly as Trump’s chief of staff in July. A confidant of the president said Trump had lost confidence in Priebus after major legislative items failed to be approved by Congress.

Anthony Scaramucci - the White House communications director was fired by Trump in July after just 10 days on the job after profanity-laced comments to The New Yorker magazine were published.

Walter Shaub - the head of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, who clashed with Trump and his administration, stepped down in July before his five-year term was to end.

Michael Short - senior White House assistant press secretary, resigned in July.

Sean Spicer - resigned as White House press secretary in July, ending a turbulent tenure after Trump named Scaramucci as White House communications director.

James Comey - the Federal Bureau of Investigation director, who was leading a probe into possible collusion between the Trump 2016 presidential campaign and Russia to influence the election outcome, was fired by Trump in May.

James Donovan - a Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker who was nominated by Trump as deputy Treasury secretary, withdrew his name in May.

Michael Dubke - founder of Crossroads Media, resigned as White House communications director in May.

Mark Green - Trump’s nominee for Army secretary withdrew his name from consideration in May.

Todd Ricketts - a co-owner of the Chicago Cubs baseball team and Trump’s choice for deputy secretary of commerce, withdrew from consideration in April.

Katie Walsh - deputy White House chief of staff, was transferred to the outside pro-Trump group America First Policies in March, according to Politico.

Philip Bilden - a private equity executive and former military intelligence officer picked by Trump for secretary of the Navy, withdrew from consideration in February because of government conflict-of-interest rules.

Michael Flynn - resigned in February as Trump’s national security adviser after disclosures that he had discussed U.S. sanctions on Russia with the Russian ambassador to the United States before Trump took office and had misled Vice President Mike Pence about the conversations.

Gerrit Lansing - White House chief digital officer, stepped down in February after failing to pass an FBI background check, according to Politico.

Robin Townley - an aide to Flynn, was rejected in February after he was denied security clearance to serve on the U.S. National Security Council, according to Politico.

Vincent Viola - an Army veteran and a former chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange, nominated by Trump to be secretary of the Army, withdrew his name from consideration in February.

Caroline Wiles - Trump’s director of scheduling, resigned in February after failing a background check, according to Politico.

Sally Yates - acting U.S. attorney general, was fired by Trump in January after she ordered Justice Department lawyers not to enforce Trump’s immigration ban.

Gosh, even more than I thought. Wonder how this compares with previous administrations?

I expect it is the highest.

Has an incoming President ever had so many people relying on dodgy dossiers and fake news, to save their corrupt and criminal enterprises?

How many people should have been fired by Obama, but weren't?

Meanwhile, North Korea has hinted at reducing its nuclear capabilities. This is probably as a result of pressure from China, because they want to avoid a trade war with the US. Trump's version of Diplomacy seems to have paid off, as China's new capitalist culture dominates their failed Political Dogma.

My comment about the frequency of departures concerned the Administration, especially the White House staff. These are people appointed by Trump himself, many formerly quite close to him. All administrations suffer some change, but not so many, so soon in the administration's term, nor such important members. Four different Press Secretaries in just over a year. Unprecedented?

I somehow think Nixon's post-Watergate Press Secretary had it worse.

Supertroll, I expect Nixon was happy to keep paying him, and he was happy to carry on being paid.

As tomo says, Trump brought in people from outside The Swamp. Some got dragged down by The Swamp, in their attempts to drag Trump down.

If some of the Press Secretaries had decided to ban those members of the press that persisted in repeating lies fed to them, there might have been more productive Press Briefings.

Where are the stories from the MSM, about who was feeding them lies to undermine Trump?

Supertroll & tomo

It has been an Unprecedented 2 years in US Politics, broadcast by the internet around the world. Trump has been President for just over half of it.

The Obama administration left the most poisoned and scorched earth in Washington since the British set fire to it:

Wikipedia: Burning of Washington

"The  was a British invasion of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, during the War of 1812. On August 24, 1814, after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force led by Major General Robert Ross occupied Washington and set fire to many public buildings, including the White House (known as the Presidential Mansion), and the Capitol, as well as other facilities of the U.S. government.[2] The attack was in part a retaliation for the recent American destruction of Port Dover in Upper Canada. Throughout the history of the United States, the United Kingdom is the only country to have ever captured Washington, D.C.; the Burning of Washington also marks the only time since the American Revolutionary War that a foreign power has captured and occupied the United States capital."
