    Reference the Ukraine President visit to Trump WH....

    "The low-key nature of the meetings ... signaled that the White House was wary of angering the Kremlin."

    WHY...the Trump WH has already stated what they feel the Ukraine FP should be in their GOP Platform....

    Interestingly Trumps son stated that Democrats are not "human"......

    Donald Trump Jr.‏
    @DonaldJTrumpJr

    Media headlines this week should be: Democrats go 0-4 in special elections... voters reject socialism.

    So now straight from Trumps son...Democrats are non humans and socialists....

    Ex-DHS Sec.: Russians, at the direction of Putin himself, cyberattacked the US to influence 2016 election. “That is a fact. Plain & simple.”

    Election expert J. Alex Halderman tells Senate: Absolutely, voting machines can be hacked, and votes changed. "We must start preparing now."

    Jeh Johnson on Trump denying Russia meddling: "A president….depends upon the intel. comm...If you don’t you cannot effectively do your job."

    Assistant director of counterintelligence division at FBI tells Senate intel comm. one Moscow goal was to "denigrate" HRC and "help" Trump.

    Entire intelligence community confirmed Russia hack. Republicans accept it. Democrats too.

    Only @POTUS disputes the obvious. Why?

    Spicer can't say whether Trump believes Russia interfered in the 2016 elections. Trump once called the story fake news.

    Grassley: I don't see how Senate Judiciary could avoid Trump obstruction of justice probe
    http://hill.cm/hkOKbhp

    This is why the posting above makes sense in an obstruction probe..... On 5/26 Sens Grassley/Feinstein wrote CIA Director Pompeo on his status as witness to obstruction. No response.

    As of yesterday 4 large real estate firms have been contacted by DOJ politely asking them to compile certain records of Jared's biz

    Many are asking why the IC if they know so much about the past Trump problems do not leak.....

    Simple....
    1.) Things are tight since Snowden et al
    2.) IC effort is backing the LE efforts
    3.) IC will not compromise Judicial Efforts

    You will notice that ALL 17 ICs has remained committed to the statements that Russia interfered in the US election to the benefit of Trump...

    From Trump's statements last night in Grand Rapids IA.....

    Remarkable clip from tonight where Trump explains why only rich people should be in charge of economic policy.

    "I don't want a poor person"

    SO now we have the President of the US telling the American people that only the rich who have sometimes questionable business dealings in getting where they are RATE far higher than the average American who works hard and pays taxes.....

    This goes back to the idea that the "poor" are stupid...do not need healthcare and do not really want to work, do not want to have a solid living and send their children to college....

    This is just how far the US has come in it's drift to the right....

    What Trump is saying is "it's the fault that poor people are not smart and intelligent"....BUT they just need to vote for me and I will take care of the country......

    Smiling fascism is incorporated in a large number of Trump statements from last night....

    Smiling fascism is now attempting to literally control what Americans "see and hear" from the "free press and MSM"...

    So much for this President in defending the idea of "free speech and freedom of the press"....

    Why should reporters show up then? And really, what could they do if journalists turned on their phones? Are they going to arrest reporters?

    No camera or recording allowed tomorrow at White House briefing with spokeswoman Sarah Sanders, per advisory.

    Wow. "We're not stupid!" That's what a Republican staffer told a reporter about why they've kept their health care bill secret.

    One truly does have to wonder is Trump actually "believes" what he babbles during his campaign style speeches...meaning does he simply just like to hear himself speak????

    WHAT is amazing is that 6000 cheered him on and apparently never realized they were bei g lied to.....

    Much like Germans cheering to a Hitler speech.....and thinking...he is just talking he is not going to do what he just said he would do....

    Trump said he'll ban welfare for immigrants for the first five years.
    https://aspe.hhs.gov/basic-report/su...-current-law#….

    Trump: No welfare for immigrants "for at least five years." Standing ovation in Iowa. Says he'll pass such legislation "very shortly." (???)

    BUT WAIT THAT is already the law of the land...YET Trump seemed to not already know that nor did the wildly cheering 6000 when he stated it...

    Today from a social media journalist who has been largely correct in virtually every article he posts on social media about the Trump Russian connections....

    Source with knowledge of investigation. Mueller is proceeding along 3 broad fronts. Investigating Trump for ties to Russian Organized Crime, especially money laundering and other illegalities tied to his business career.

    The second front is Trump Campaigns and their collusion and coordination with Putin/Russian Govt in fixing the 2016 election.

    The third front is Trump's crimes as president especially obstruction of justice.

    My source says Mueller's team feels confident that Trump has committed impeachable offenses on all 3 fronts.

    The FBI is also looking at the connections between the Russian ultra right and the US ultra right and how both interact with proTrump twitter accounts which are also alt right ie white nationalist....

    David Duke referred to Dugin as 'one of the leading intellectuals of Russia’s patriotic movement':

    Dugin is a Russian ultra right ideologue who has the ear of Putin and his inner circle....

    One of David Duke's trips to Russia came at the invitation, unsurprisingly, of Prokhanov:
    http://archive.adl.org/anti_semitism/duke_russia.html#…

    Duke leased his Moscow apartment to Preston Wiginton, the neo-Nazi who brought both Dugin (via video) and Richard Spencer to Texas A&M.

    This individual is a hard ultra rightist and proTrump supporter who was also involved in pushing Le Pen Trump support tweets into the French election and who has was pushing leaked Marcon emails to Le Pen twitter accounts who then retweeted them which made it seem that Trump was supporting the election of Le Pen.....

    He is tied as well to a number of white nationalist and white supremacist blogsites and twitter accounts....

    BTW...the image of the bird arising out of the ashes is a favourite symbol of the ultra right...was used by the Greek junta as well in their Greek dictatorship days in the 70s....

    Cernovich is now a Dugin fanboy & indoctrinating his followers with #MAGA3X support

    It doesn't matter. Because nothing matters anymore. Our country's fate is sealed. Trump will be in until 2025, and it sucks but it's reality

    Notice that the tone is one of hopelessness.....this was the last one in a whole series of tweets from this account ...kind of a whoa is me pysch thing...in order to get anti Trump twitter accounts to respond and distract them......

    WHY is this account FAKE...you will notice that it has just 23 Followers and 122 Following

    BUT WAIT...these are it's actual Twitter statistics.......just pulled ....

    The account had a sudden burst of activity of over 80 tweets in less than one minute then settling into 20 to 25 per minute a clear sign of server controlling and precanned messaging.....

    This FAKE bot was attempting to create a retweeting bot network....to magnify a certain trending word and or idea----

    This individual was a special advisor to Trump during the first months of the Trump WH and was forced to leave to a new job when it became apparent from social media reporting that he had a very heavy ultra right ie neo Nazi past in Hungary before coming to the US.....

    FBI Fired Sebastian Gorka for Anti-Muslim Diatribes

    Trump confidant Sebastian Gorka was taking money from the FBI—and declaring that the fight against Islamic radicals was ‘a holy war on our side,’ too.
    http://www.thedailybeast.com/fbi-fir...slim-diatribes

    BUT WAIT...never once in his resumee are in interviews did he state he had been fired by the FBI......

    The inflammatory pundit Sebastian Gorka worked for the FBI while he was a paid consultant to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, lecturing bureau employees on counterterrorism issues.
    Until the FBI terminated Gorka for his over-the-top Islamophobic rhetoric.
    The Daily Beast has learned that the Federal Bureau of Investigation ended its contract with Gorka just months before he joined the White House as a senior adviser to President Trump.
    Law-enforcement officials attending an August 2016 lecture from Gorka, whose academic credentials and affiliation with a pro-Nazi group have recently come under fire, were disturbed to hear a diatribe against Muslims passed off as instruction on the fundamentals of counterterrorism.
    Gorka told attendees at the Joint Terrorism Operations Course, an introductory-level class for participants in the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, that all Muslims adhere to Sharia law, which he said is in conflict with the U.S. Constitution and American democratic values. Officials familiar with his lecture said Gorka taught law-enforcement officials there is no such thing as mainstream Muslims—only those radicalized and those soon to be radicalized.
