The president right when he says witch hunt . Yeah, sure. You cant explain this any other way. A gog. Its a word you dont see in newspapers often, in fact, i dont think ive seen it before. It was in their report today of how people in the white house reacted toll Rudy Giulianis performance. Quote, the White House Council had no idea, neither did the white house Chief Of Staff nor the White House Press secretary nor the new white house lawyer, they watched agog as he freestyled on Live Television wednesday night about the president s legal troubles and unveiled an explosive new fact that trump reimbursed his long time personal Attorney Michael Cohen for the 130,000 paid to Stormy Daniels. Rudy giuliani went on fox friends to try to smooth over the mountain of lies and inconsistent statements now that have been told by donald trump and Michael Cohen about the Stormy Daniels payment. Michael cohens first statement about the Stormy Daniels payment was on February 13th which he said he was
Two individuals . What makes this so striking is sean hannity has really ascended within the american right as the Republican Party has gone through convulsions during the trump era. It is hannity, his platform, and others at fox news who have often had the president s ear, who are, in their own way, shaping the way Different Things play out with the Trump Administration, urging the president to stick to its hardline positions on immigration, to move forward in a conservative way on health care.

When you look at these specific questions about outreach by the campaign to russia, arent these questions about collusion . Once again, im not going to get into a back and forth about questions leaked or anything having to do with the Special Counsel and i would refer you to the president s attorney. With the exception a swipe at schiff. The white house passes the buck. While the president says the buck doesnt even exist. Keeping them honest, the buck may not stop there. The president didnt wait long to weigh in on these possible mueller questions. Reporter while the president tweeted about these things this morning, he did not answer the question. I was in the oval office with him earlier today and asked him if he wanted to comment on these questions. And he declined to do so. It appears that be the white house and the president prefer

President trump met with north korean vice chairman kim yongchol for more than an hour yesterday. The president says they talked about many things including sanctions and denuclearization.
