Trump slams "FAKE MEDIA", claims he's nice to Putin for Russia's help in solving problems
Has the news media and many Republicans such as John McCain and others over-reacted to the latest controversy surrounding President Donald Trump involving Russia?
On Tuesday, Trump announced during the middle of an Oval Office meeting and in front of the news media, that he called President Vladimir Putin and congratulated him on his election victory. Shortly afterwards, John McCain slammed the President for doing so. Others followed.
Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, Summer Zervos courting Trump
Uh, oh.
For almost a year and a half, the cry coming out of Trump world has been “Russia, Russia, Russia.

Trump's double toil with trouble, off with McCabe, Tillerson's heads
More turmoil in the White House continues to cast doubt on Donald Trump’s leadership. Start with the firings of FBI Deputy Director, Andrew McCabe, and Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. McCabe’s potentially unfavorable testimony before a grand jury convened by Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, doomed him. Trump has now fired two top FBI officials, including Director, James Comey, to protect himself from Mueller’s Russia investigation.
Pelosi, Clinton are Republicans, Trump's secret weapons for future

Is Mueller crossing Trump's red line where GOP House Intel failed to go

BEWARE of Nancy Pelosi in Conor Lamb's clothing
Last night’s Democratic Party victory in a congressional special election in Pennsylvania should terrify Republican Party leaders. Former Marine, 33-year-old Democrat Conor Lamb apparently edged GOP candidate Rick Saccone by several hundred votes.
Nunes, Trump, GOP House Intelligence results, never in doubt
The Republican Majority who control the House Intelligence Committee has rendered a judgment and The New York Times reported it as follows: “‘The bottom line [is] the Russians did commit active measures against our election in ’16, and we think they will do that in the future,’ Mr. Conaway, said. But, he added, ‘We disagree with the narrative that they were trying to help Trump.’” Perish the thought!
