Moved into a pr conversation about how the trump team would position this and what they could say about this. I started about drafting a press release with us still sitting there. And the reason that was so striking to me is that thats just not done that the intelligence does intelligence. The white house does pr and spin. You also said you were struck by what they didnt ask. Very much. No one to my recollection asked so whats coming next from the russians . How might we stop it . Whats the future look like . It was all what can we say about what they did and how it affects the election that we just had. Comey then asked to lemeet alone with trump to talk about the steele dossier. I said the allegation was he was involved with prostitutes in moscow during a visit for the Miss Universe pageant and the russians had filmed the episode, and he spruinterrupted defensiv and said do i look like a guy who needs hookers. I moved on and explained im not saying we believe it. We just thought it i
Similar wall street crash in the future, those Safety Measures will now, in large part, be stripped away. Congress passed this repeal, literally on the same day it was reported that the big banks in this country just had their most profitable quarter ever. So, its not like then banks needed relief from the onerous regulation here that was holding them back. Theyre doing better than ever. Congress still felt the need to do even more. So, as a nation, we will saw the seat belts out of the cars and see what happens. President trump is expected to sign the bill, of course. And the distant roar you hear is not peepers looking for dates on a warm spring night. Those are champagne corks hitting the ceiling at every firm on wall street. Remarkable decision today. Hold onto your wallet for this one. The president s legal jeopardy may have taken a leap forward tonight, with news first broken in the New York Times that there is yet another new cooperating witness in the investigation that has bee

Congress tonight has voted to repeal many of the regulations passed after the wall street collapse in 2008. Ten years down the road from that disaster, the safety features put in place to protect the country from any similar wall street crash in the future, those Safety Measures will now in large part be stripped away. Congress passed this repeal literally on the same day it was reported that the big banks in this country just had their most profitable quarter ever. So its not like the banks needed relief from the onerous regulation here that was holding them back. Theyre doing better than ever. Congress still felt the need to do even more.

I can only say that i do have confidence in our intelligence agencies as currently constitut constituted. I th
