Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

If he did meet healthcare leaders it's a bit late, the bill goes to a vote this week.

I just quoted your quote.

The main learning point from this is - there is no surveillance or wire-tapping investigation, just one into the Russian matter. Because there is no wire-tapping or surveillance evidence to investigate.

It was actually a VA meeting and he also met with Marvel Entertainment CEO, Ike Perlmutter. He also stopped off at a Cancer charity event.

No mention of golf being played at all and I am sure those Paparazzi with long distance lenses, would have caught a glimpse or two if he had.

Makes more sense. I am not sure when the bill does actually go the floor but it might even be today.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Fox News seem to suspended the pundit who made the GCHQ claims: http://www.mediaite.com/uncategorize...etap-comments/

They had previously said their reporters couldn't find evidence of his claims and said it was his views only and not those of Fox.

I can see the parameters of this enquiry being opened up, or a new one being started, especially into the amount of leaks.


This particular exchange needs to be looked into further:

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes will speak Wednesday about the ongoing investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Nunes says Trump communications were caught in "normal incidental collection...normal foreign surveillance"
He has said so far there was collection of data from Trump's team in the process of monitoring foreign intelligence and Trump may have been included in that incidentally. Although the White House hasn't seen it so it's not what Trump was referring too. If true though it would explain how they knew about Flynn and the Russian ambassador.

The reason given to Hugh as to why this hypocrisy is ok is that Trump's press secretary is not Trump himself.

Regarding the golfing, I don't have an issue with that. At the time before he was President, Trump may have felt that the President shouldn't take a day out for this. Having done the job himself, he may now appreciate that it's needed. But more likely scoring political points!
You are right of course, there are far more important issues here than playing golf. The issue is not the golf but his regular hypocrisy regarding his behaviour.

What he should have done is to tweet a message like:

Quote:
After being POTUS for the time I have, I was wrong. I can see why Obama needed to take some time and relax on the golf course!
He would earn far more credibility doing this that his normal tweeted nonsense ...

Whoever ordered this, Nunes said failed to alert Congress, he says what needs to be determined now, who knew about it (i.e Was President Obama aware? Given he receives intelligence briefings daily, I would struggle to believe he didn't) and if any laws have been violated.

Mmmm.....

The house is on fire, let's investigate who set off the fire alarm, and ignore finding out who set the house on fire...

Would Nixon have been impeached if they had only investigated "Deep Throat" and Woodward & Bernstein, and brushed over the facts of the Watergate break-in, and the abuses of power by the Nixon administration?

At the moment it seems Trump aides were caught up in FISA warrants. I.E They already had the other end of the phones tapped (presumably when phoning foreign nations who were already being monitored).

At the moment though he isn't sharing the intel with the rest of the committee so god knows what's doing on now.

It looks like there will possibly be one now. Good questions from Trey Gowdy on Monday.


We still need to see what actually happened. Investigations don't mean someone is guilty of something. I'm waiting for more information to come down the pike before making any judgement on all aspects of this enquiry.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

There are two investigations at the moment. Trump/Russia and the leaks.

Yes. I don't see grounds for people complaining that their phones were tapped when they phoned officials of what the US classified as a hostile country, Russia.
