    BUT WAIT....the leading Republican and leading Democrat have informed him they need his response in WRITING......WHY...if one really reads Trumps comments then he basically is stating there was not a Comey tape BUT he did not outright deny the existence of other "tapes"....THEY are calling his bluff or is it a bluff and do tapes actually exist WHICH is what the committee believes to be the fact???

    WHY do they believe other tapes exist...because Trump has a history of recording everything .....

    With Trump his "metamessage" meaning exactly what words has he left out that is the most important point when dealing with Trump...
    White House says Trump tweet meets Comey tapes records request
    http://reut.rs/2rMqebV

    BUT WAIT...his response was not written and the House Committee is saying he did not met the standard for replying correctly....

    Trump simply does not want a written record...WHY is that?????

    Maybe the tape or tapes do exist...and by not putting in writing he sidesteps an obstruction charge.....because hey I responded...is his reply....

    Since the 30s the GOP and the ultra right and their financial backers have attempted to overturn all the various social security laws...and civil rights laws either passed and or expanded in the 1965....such things a Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, Job retraining programs, Rural health programs and the various Civil Rights Voting laws.......

    WHY is that????

    The current Senate and House GOP are attempting to basically wipe out anything passed by Obama especially his healthcare program.....

    The WHY is answered below......if they cannot get it overturned the US society will demand an even better replacement...the GOP is racing against time....

    PEW: 60% say federal gov't is responsible for ensuring health coverage for all; support for single payer on the rise
    http://pewrsr.ch/2s4BMXy

    In the eyes of the GOP the above tastes like and is "socialism"....

    Basically what the GOP is attempting to do is to stop the idea that healthcare is an "inherent right" of a citizen....guaranteed by the government.

    AND FOX News is not the current US version of Russia Today a fully recognized propaganda media outlet....

    After a WH Press Corp no-cameras-allowed briefing, Spicer is now doing his second on-camera interview of the day with Fox.


    The and the idea that the Trump WH is inherently defending the 1st Amendement as he is the President seems to be a farce as he is not defending US constitutional values.....

    REALLY ..What is this Trump WH and Trump so afraid of that they must hide themselves from the "free press" and "freedom of speech".....

    IT does appear that even "conservative" journalists find fault with the way Obama responded to the Russian hacking and influence operation...which BTW are still ongoing....

    BUT WAIT...if one did in fact reread the Washington Post article on this exact issue yesterday one would have noticed that McConnell from the GOP Senate side flatly refused to believe it and GOP controlled states refused to work with DHS in defending their voter databases which did in fact get hacked and data stolen....

    Honestly, the Republicans were going to do that to Hillary anyway. Obama needed to act more forcefully against the Russians.

    IMHO.......had Obama lifted a single finger to point against the Russian actions and did in fact forcefully reacted...GOP would have been yelling and screaming he was "influencing the election".....

    AND because he was not forceful enough now they attack him...strange is it not....

    Trump's Russia scandal is driving his foreign policy — and could even lead to diversionary wars.

    So exactly why is Trump personally some intent in giving them back to Russia as a sign of good faith??

    OR is it quid pro quo.....
    WHAT Trump and his merry band in the WH are not telling the American people...the Russians were using the two facilities as "SIGINT" listening facilities thus the destroyed electronic equipment and computers.....

    THIS will lead eventually to the Trump downfall......as his tweets can be used in a court of law as evidence of his intentions and actions AND he can no longer claim executive privilege...

    If there was any doubt that @realDonaldTrump tweets are official White House statements, this removes it

    You will notice that this formal WH statement does not carry the Trump signature....leaving the Staffer open to investigation and questioning in the future about Trump's intentions...hope the person has a "lawyer".....

    SO did Trump Friday actually finally admit the Russians hacked and conducted influence operations prior to and during the election??

    Definitely did finally admit it.....

    #@realDonaldTrump

    Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY?
    .

    Obama authorized use of cyber weapons against Russia before leaving office — Trump hasn’t used them

    NOR has the Trump government used the 200M USDs Congress approved for an anti information campaign against Russian info warfare directed at the US.....

    Sean Hannity: If Trump campaign communicated with and asked Russia to release hacked emails, "is that a crime?"
    http://mm4a.org/2s52bo5

    BUT WAIT......what if Trump and his advisors already knew the Russians had indeed hacked to support him?????

    THAT is exactly what SC Mueller is also asking....AND Hannity does not answer that specific question does he?????

    BUT WAIT...is Hannity in fact openly suggesting that the Trump campaign DID in fact communicate during the election with Russian officials...????

    Certainly does appear that is what he is stating....

    Kind of like asking the planners of an major bank robbery to assist in stating you were not the bank robber carrying out their plans??

    Mitch McConnell refuses to meet with the March of Dimes on the GOP health care bill

    http://bit.ly/2sKvUYd

    BUT in a long PBS interview recently he praised the March of Dimes and the work they do...BUT now that he is cutting support for the poor and low wage earner he "suddenly cannot be seen supporting such an organization.....as it will also cut research on polio....

    IF one does not think Trump and KSA are not joined at the hip over Qatar......think again......

    As Al Jazeera America tried asking Trump a Q tonight, he said, "you guys are out of business!" and moved on.


    BUT WAIT...this was stated by Trump in 2016......not JUN 2017....

    Incredibly, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders dismissed the Russian threat, even found it amusing.

    Ever wonder if McConnell may have known about the Russian influence operations...???

    McConnell was more concerned about protecting States from the U.S. federal government than he was about protecting them and us from Moscow!

    Since Trump has now formally accepted Russian hacking involvement in the US election THEN what is his response to this Russian hacking attack...silence.....

    For the historical record: Shadow Brokers op started very early on 13 Aug—1st tweet was epic
    https://twitter.com/liamosaur/status...232000#…

    From the Washington Post article.....
    Also note timing and what the story doesn't mention: US mobilises "early August"
    Shadowbrokers op begins on 13 Aug


    BUT WAIT...this is the current Trump and Trump WH position on the Russian hacking even after admitting US was hacked....

    Rex Tillerson wants to work directly with Russia on cybersecurity, even after last year's hacking
    http://bit.ly/2stna5E

    They apparently want to make it far easier for the Russians not harder....

    LARGELY being ignored by MSM and especially the Trump WH...
    Why is that???

    AND the info is not dated...is still ongoing...especially right now in European Russian embassy facilities.....

    ALSO REMEMBER Russia wanted to place election observers in key electoral college states "to observe the voting"......also rejected...

    NOT CONFIRMED but picking up social media attention and not covered by MSM.....

    Watchdog group doubts the #GA06 results; voting machines weren't secured & results unverifiable by design.

    Main point and it is valid...why did the Demo candidate not even reach the results of the run off when he faced a total of 17 including the GOP candidate who won...........that much of a voter shift is not simply normal....and cannot be explained...AND with no paper ballots to recount one does have only voting machines which in fact are not secure and easily hackable....

    During a pre election challenge the court was in fact told the machines were hackable and the State of Georgia had not taken steps to secure them and the software on them....State won and made no attempts to secure the voting machines....

    WHICH was the exact same attitude taken by GOP states when offered assistance in the 2016 Presidential election.....pointed out in the Washington Post article yesterday...

    BUT WAIT...Trump claimed in his tweets that he had no recordings of Comey...HE did not state he had not a single other recording and or recordings......DID he??????

    THIS below is from an "average day".....SO did in fact Trump lie to Congress via a tweet????

    This official WH photo shows Trump with a personal recording device and two smartphones, each capable of recording sound

    If one rereads the Washington Post yesterday on the Russian hacking attack of the US...it does allude to the Ukraine providing solid intel on Russian activities....it was just not 100% trusted by NSA while it was "Ukraine" with possible ties to Russia thus making the intel invalid.....the Ukrainian link was reported on by a US journalist based in Ukraine literally months ago.....before the election.....

    BUT this popped up today from Europe.....

    US intel partners, not restrained by USP rules, know quite literally everything about Team Trump & their GOP co-conspirators.

    Everything.


    AND can and has provided SIGINT in the form of audio intercepts and agent reports....to US intel agencies......

    Rumored...in fact virtually the entire Trump family is on tape as well as close Trump associates.....REMEMBER the Trump family has been doing major business with know Russian OC members thus the European surveillance......

    Fact from #GA06

    63% of the ads we tracked in the runoff were negative. 59% were from GOP

    Social media input is now being checked...
