Re: CNN Gets It Wrong
It's early. These are just the first feints in a long term game. There are two more significant CNN stories, one showing Mueller looking into Kushner's foreign financing and the other charging a lawyer making false statements to Federal Authorities.
Both open the door to continued exploration of Trump Inc. finances.

It is within Mueller's mandate to pursue any illegal activity that comes to his attention in the course of his investigation, so it is possible that this has nothing to do with the Russia scandal and is just related to money laundering committed by Gates and Mannafort that Mueller uncovered during the investigation. But it is also possible that Gates, Mannafort and Van der Zwaan know something about Trump campaign involvement with Russian election meddling.
That is the real issue, "It is within Mueller's mandate to pursue any illegal activity that comes to his attention in the course of his investigation, so it is possible that this has nothing to do with the Russia scandal and is just related to money laundering committed by Gates and Mannafort that Mueller uncovered during the investigation." and that is the threat to Trump Inc. If Trump Inc can be tied in anyway to Russian money laundering the effects would go way beyond the mere Presidency.
That Nation States interfere with the internal politics of other Nation States has never been doubted and that Russia interfered in US internal politics has pretty much been established.
What I find amazing though is that Russia thinking "Donald Trump could be the worst possible President of the US so let's push Trump and oppose EVERYBODY but Trump " seems to be bothering il Donald more than the possible effects of money laundering connected to Trump Inc.

Re: Kushner’s Security Clearance Downgraded
It also creates yet another thing for il Donald to stumble over.
Releasing confidential material to someone without the proper security clearance is subject to legal sanctions. It will be interesting to see if il Donald can resist talking out of turn but so far that does not seem likely.

Kushner's loss of security clearance will have ramifications. Many of them will be political.
I don't think anyone in the Trump Administration or Trump Inc is very much worried about political ramifications until and unless they become financial ramifications.
If people, particularly foreign money, decide that Lil' Trump is no longer a profit center or Congress starts looking into Trump Inc finances, then, and only then will anyone worry about political ramifications.

On fondest wishes.
Be careful what you wish for. Trump in office can only do limited damage. A Trump mid term replacement might be evil AND not totally incompetent like il Donald.

Re: Tillerson is out
And Gina Haspel will replace Pompeo at CIA. The dark side just got even darker with that move.

John McTee is out...KINDA
John McTee is out over security clearance but just moved to a campaign position.
Tillerson hears he's out from il Donald hours after il Donald twits his magic twitter.

McMaster out?
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the decision to fire McMaster has been made.
Is it possible that il Donald does not understand that it is not necessary to fire one apprentice every week?
Is it Jeff Sessions for the next episode?
And according to the NY Times, Donald Trump Jr. is getting his walking papers as well.
Edited by jar, : add lil donald

Re: Trump lawyer resigns
There is an even bigger reason to turn down il Donald mentioned in your link.

The concerns were, ‘The guy won’t pay and he won’t listen,’ one lawyer close to the White House told Yahoo.
Only a fool works for a client that won't pay.

Re: Trump Sued in Civil Court for Constitutional Violations
As I have been saying, challenges to the Presidency are not anything Trump will worry about but follow the money...

But did he get a Non-Disclosure Agreement from his Ex-Wife as part of the settlement.

Re: North Korea: Why am I not surprised?
Percy writes:
North Korea has never been trustworthy in negotiations, and now with Trump in charge the United States isn't either.
The US also has a very long tradition of not being trustworthy in negotiations, in fact a far longer history of not honoring treaties and laws than North Korea.

One could argue, however, that the US represents the interests of most civilized societies while N.Korea represents an uncertain threat.
One could assert any fool thing they want; but what does the evidence show?
