“I don’t know them, I don’t know about them, I don’t know what they do,” Trump added. “I don’t know, maybe they were clients of Rudy’s. You’d have to ask Rudy.”
A photograph of Trump smiling with Giuliani and the businessmen, Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas, has been published by various news outlets.
That means he DOES know them. He lies all the time. To everyone. About everything.

I don't put much stock into pictures like that. Even I have pictures with a convicted criminal. He did not loop me into his crime in any way, shape or form. And I'm not famous, nor am I POTUS. I imagine there are a lot of photos with people you didn't know well, didn't really deal with, maybe you can't recall their names, if you are a sought after celebrity. And hate or not, he is a sought after celebrity.

I thought it was reported that they ate at the WH with DT? If so, he may not know them well, but he damned well knows them!

The DNI resigned. His deputy resigned. The Energy Secretary resigned. The US Special Representative to Ukraine resigned. And now Pompeo's senior advisor is resigning.This administration is unraveling. Mike Pompeo's Senior adviser Michael McKinley announced his resignation tonight. Stating “lack of public support for diplomats who have been named in the Ukraine controversy and called to testify before House committees conducting the impeachment inquiry.”

Lashing out at Fox News? They're starting to eat their own. This should be interesting.

Coincidence? Shep Smith out at Fox News — two days after Bill Barr’s meeting with Rupert MurdochShepard Smith, one of the few voices at Fox News who has been willing to be critical of President Donald Trump, is stepping down from the network after 23 years. “This is my last newscast here,” Smith said at the end of his program on Friday. Jay Wallace, President & Executive Editor of Fox News Media said in a statement, “Shep is one of the premier newscasters of his generation and his extraordinary body of work is among the finest journalism in the industry.” Complete article here: Shep Smith out at Fox News — two days after Bill Barr’s meeting with Rupert Murdoch

I just heard in that interview that Tillerson (who I never liked, for the record) said that he had NEVER SPOKEN TO TRUMP BEFORE HE WAS HIRED. does that make sense? it doesn't make sense to me. what kind of manager hires a cabinet member (member of his personal staff) without TALKING to him? crazy MF.

I favor impeachment- beginning with a vote of the full United States House of Representatives to begin an impeachment inquiry. I favor it because I want everyone ON RECORD prior to 2020. you do know that there is nothing in the law that requires this vote right? And it would put a lot of Reps in a very difficult position: choose to ignore the law and lick dt's bootie or face the wrath of dt and his bootie lickers.
Be careful what you wish for as you may actually get your way

Opinion. It’s a small swamp after all: Rudy, Trump and a seemingly corrupt cast of charactersIt’s a small world, allegedly, and an even smaller swamp for sure. Soviet-born South Florida businessmen Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman had just finished lunch at the Trump Hotel Wednesday with the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, when the pair were arrested at the first-class gate at Dulles Airport in Virginia on charges of violating federal campaign finance laws. The duo, the feds allege, developed a sudden interest in the American political system in 2016, using LLCs and other tricks to keep their names off of the five- and six-figure checks they sent to a Trump Super-PAC and elected Republicans they pressed to give the U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine the boot, which Trump did earlier this year, reportedly after she asked Giuliani to go through official channels if he wanted to play foreign affairs. Parnas had worked previously as an interpreter for the law firm run by Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing — the husband-and-wife attorneys who’d worked “off the books” for President Trump, according to Fox News, digging up dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine — as it represented Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch who’s been in Austria fighting extradition to the United States on his own campaign corruption charges. (Firtash has also been represented by Lanny Davis, who helped Bill Clinton fight impeachment and more recently represented incompetent Trump “fixer” and all-around lowlife Michael Cohen in his efforts to remake himself as a hero of the resistance.) DiGenova and Toensing had reportedly been set to join Trump’s legal team during the Mueller probe, but were conflicted out because Toensing had represented witnesses who’d spoken to the special counsel. Small world! Complete article here: It’s a small swamp after all: Rudy, Trump and a seemingly corrupt cast of characters

Another one bites the dust..... I have lost count of the number of people in this corrupt mis-administration who are under investigation, have been indicted, or already in jail.

How many times have we had anonymous sources claim that Trump is sulking, raging, depressed, drooling in the corner, screaming and yelling, ranting and raving-- and yet we have no evidence of it. When you think about it objectively, to believe that Trump is crazy or unstable or any of this-- you would have to believe that he's normal every time he appears in public, and that the only evidence Trump is any different in private is based on the reports of anonymous sources. Sorry- but I'm not buying that. Really? Because you really pushed that kind of dichotomy when it involved Hillary.

At least Hillary doesn't continually advertise her weaknesses, instability, and emotional failings like he does. While she no doubt has some, his are legion.

I think that I have heard all of this before, Trump is done. I noticed that he is still here, I don't know, maybe by some chance that may change,,
I am going to wait and see,,
But, what are you going to do if he still here in 2020,,
Annnnnd, is re-elected President!!
