So... many people are upset that Trump left open the possibility that he might allow Americans to be questioned by Russian authorities. To me, this is a non-serious suggestion by Trump to prove a specific point.
The point being that if we, as a matter of national policy, decide to indict foreign nationals for actions that are not considered illegal in their country, that it invites other countries to do the same to us.
For us to declare diplomatic immunity when our citizens are being accused by foreign powers of criminal activity by their laws, while simultaneously indicting foreign actors for actions against our laws reeks of hypocrisy.
Now there are a ton of good reasons we do not criminalize actions such as election tampering, as have been written about by many. But one of the biggest reasons would be that setting this sort of precedent exposes our own citizens to the same standards.
Personally I find these actions (of setting national security policies) by Mueller as brash and arrogant. Nobody elected him to set this sort of policy, and it seems hardly his place to make these decisions for the country. Moreover it appears that Mueller's decisions are politically and personally motivated. It begs the question over who he consulted, if anyone, before making his decisions?

Are the Trump critics being hypocritical?
About what? The constant lying? The hidden agenda? Only his word? Loving Putin and hating his own country for what?? His own ego....sad you all support the dismantling of the country for his judge picks.....party over country...
Putin is going to be in the White House to discuss the security situation.
You've lost your mind.
Is he? So you don't think jaw jawing with the cheif security threat is a good idea?
Would you prefer war war? Just asking for a friend.

Trump will have more flexibility after the election.

How far does this treasonous criminal have to go before a prominent patriotic Republican, with something to lose, stands up before we lose America?

A federal judge on Friday ruled against a religious organization that refused to place foster children with gay families on religious grounds.
Judge Petrese B. Tucker of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled that the city of Philadelphia can require the foster and adoption agencies with which it contracts to abide by the city's nondiscrimination policies. The decision marks the first time a federal court has ruled that such agencies may not turn away same-sex couples who don't meet the agencies' religious criteria.
The plaintiffs in the case — Catholic Social Services and three foster families with whom the agency works — were quick to file an appeal.
Roger...
You (and your liberal ilk) have already lost America. You lost Congress. You lost the Presidency. You are losing the courts.
You (and your eyes wide shut liberal media)just refuse to accept it.
How far do these treasonous criminals have to go before a prominent patriotic Democrat, with something to lose, stands up before we lose America? fify
Sometimes you need to listen to the right side of your brain.
And we need to find a cure for TDS.
Meanwhile your constant barking @ the moon is doing little more than consolidating Trump support.
If he does nothing else but keep his own voters, he is a favorite to win re-election.
Right now he's doing more than keeping his own voters.
Biden however, will be the Democrats best bet to win back their alienated base.
If Obama had met with Putin and held a secret meeting where he made agreements with Russia that he would not have released to the public what would Scott be proclaimed?
Treason and #IMPEACHMENT
The President has been lying repeatedly about his actions in regards to the Russians intervention. What happened?
75% of the Republicans believe that the President has been acting to benefit the United States.
If Obama had proclaimed that the Russians were our friends what would Scott say?
If Obama had proclaimed that NATO was no longer paying enough for their military presence, what would Scott say?
If Obama acted to support the opposition in the government of Great Britain to support a liberal opponent what would Scott say?
If Obama had proclaimed that President of Canada was incompetent and insulted him in public, what would Scott say?
If Obama had scheduled a meeting with the President of Russia to discuss security issues without informing the director of Director of intelligence what would Scott say?
Is there anything that the President can do that Scott will not support including claiming that he is not subject to the laws of the United States will not support?
Why does the President proclaim that anyone who dares to differ with him is in favor of war? Because his puppies named Scott will support him. And believe that we want millions to die.
This is proof that the President can do anything. Despite being criticized by people within his administration for failing to study his talking points and the 100 page briefing before meeting with Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin can do anything.
Meanwhile your constant barking @ the moon is doing little more than consolidating Trump support.
Pointing out that the President is not competent and is a clear and present danger gathers his supporters into the cage.
What would Scott say?
Yes Sir
If Obama had been recorded saying that because he's rich he can grab their pussy what would Scott say?
How goes that deep heart felt grieving?
Roger...
The director of national intelligence works for the President. Not the other way around. Just because you believe "this" President should be babysat, doesn't make it so. The constitution is the constitution.
There was nothing secret about the meeting. The President does not have any authority to enter into any formal agreements without congressional consent.
That was just something our previous POTUS did. Like pay off the Iranians without notifying congress that he was spending money.
Roger...
Regardless of what Obama did or would have hypothetically done, he was elected to serve as President. I did and would have criticized him for doing things.
But I wouldn't demand he be removed from office because I didn't agree with him.
That would be un-American, unconstitutional, and completely idiotic.
Roger watching your 31 minute uninterrupted epic meltdown. Ty.
Dems dumped the "2018 slogan - Raw Deal" for azz the Socialist Workers of America slogan "for the Comrade".
If the President had entered into an agreement with the Russians to release the former ambassador to Russia for "interrogation" would you say that because he is the President that he has the authority to do so without regard to the history of the Russians use of torture that he has not committed a crime or misdemeanor and is not subject to #impeachment?
If's are for children.
The Senate must be hypocritical as Scott sees the world.
The Senate on Thursday voted unanimously (98-0) in favor of a resolution expressing Congress's opposition to the US government allowing Russia to question US officials.
It came after Trump signaled he might be open allowing Russia to interrogate nearly a dozen Americans, including former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul.
The resolution passed Thursday was proposed by Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, as well as Bob Menendez, Dick Durbin, and Brian Schatz.
No is for Presidents.
Wouldn't is for Presidents.
W.H. DNI Coats has gone rogue
Dan Coats the Director of National Intelligence is should be preparing for another job. He's not a Trump loyalist. But competence is not important to the President. In a live interview with Andrea Mitchell he was informed that the President had invited his BFF Vladimir Putin to the White House in the fall.
Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats on Thursday acknowledged that he did not know what took place in President Trump’s one-on-one meeting in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin, even as the White House announced plans to invite the Russian leader to Washington for a second meeting in the fall.
“Well, you’re right. I don’t know what happened in that meeting,” Coats told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell in an interview at the Aspen Security Forum. He said that while it was Trump’s prerogative to decide how to conduct the meeting, he would have advised the president otherwise.
“If he had asked me how that ought to be conducted, I would have suggested a different way,” Coats said. “But that’s not my role; that’s not my job. So, it is what it is.”
Coats, who on Monday issued a statement standing by the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, also said that he would have liked to have seen Trump strike a different tone in his extraordinary 46-minute news conference with Putin.
“Obviously, I wish that he’d made a different statement,” Coats said when asked about Trump’s remarks on Monday defending Putin. “But I think that now that has been clarified, based on his late reactions to this, and so I don’t think I want to go any further than that.”
Scott, how about this instead of impeachment?
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Scott you have to read this. It answers a lot of your questions about why Trump hasn't been subpoenaed. And why the investigation is not going away.
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/why-hasn-t-robert-mueller-subpoenaed-trump-three-theories-about-ncna892591
The third possibility — and one that I suggest is growing more likely by the day — is that evidentiary developments in the investigation may have moved the president from being a “subject” of the investigation to being a “target.” If this is the case, then Department of Justice policies would strongly argue against using a grand jury subpoena to compel the president to testify.
Prosecutors have wide latitude regarding whom to subpoena. It’s important to keep in mind that a grand jury subpoena is a court order directing that the witness appear and testify. Once subpoenaed, the witness must appear and provide testimony, unless the witness has a legitimate legal privilege that would trump the requirement to testify. For example, if a witness is a doctor who was subpoenaed to give testimony about something her patient told her in furtherance of medical treatment, the doctor/witness could refuse to testify by invoking doctor-patient privilege. Other legally recognized privileges include clergy-penitent, marital privilege and the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

Grieving for the United States for the mishap of Donald Trump. Unless we stop him he will destroy the country.
Bye bye Coats.
The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media,” Trump wrote in a morning tweet. “I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed.”
The tensions within the administration have been most evident between Trump and Coats. When asked in Helsinki whom he believed regarding Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, he appeared to give equal weight to Coats’s warnings and Putin’s denial of Russian interference.
“All I can do is ask the question,” he said. “My people came to me, Daniel Coats came to me and some others, they said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin; he just said it’s not Russia.”
Inside the White House, Trump’s advisers were in an uproar over Coats’s interview in Aspen, Colo. They said the optics were especially damaging, noting that at moments Coats appeared to be laughing at the president, playing to his audience of the intellectual elite in a manner that was sure to infuriate Trump.
“Coats has gone rogue,” said one senior White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide a candid assessment.

The Federal Reserve failed to raise rates during the Lost years. Reason given it would hurt the so called recovery. Since Trump’s Election they took that idea and trashed it.
Hugh Hewitt coined this about the Socialist Democrats. They are "Blue People" as in sad people.
he Federal Reserve failed to raise rates during the Lost years.
True statement, but your simplistic explanation is bull shit.....thanx to those low lost years interest rates, they formed the basis of what you claim is trumps great job! Yer really an idiot!!!!!! Nice try and please keep sucking trumps dick....he really likes it....
Seems trump loved low interest rates before he hated them.....idiiot You really look like an asshole again. Too funny
In
Donald Trump the presidential candidate denounced the Federal Reserve’s promotion of low interest rates as feeding a risky economic bubble. Now in the White House, regularly celebrating the stock market’s advances, he’s had a change of heart.
“I do like a low-interest-rate policy, I must be honest with you,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal in April, less than three months after taking office.
Jerome PowellPhotographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg
In keeping with that view, he chose current Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell to replace Janet Yellen as chairman of the central bank, according to three people familiar with the matter -- a selection that signals to investors that Trump supports continuity at the Fed and in markets.
Powell, a Republican who was appointed to the Fed in 2012 by Democratic President Barack Obama, has a reputation as a pragmatic policy maker and has generally backed current Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s cautious approach to withdrawing financial stimulus and raising rates.
Trump’s turnabout on the issue was so complete that he even seemed to seriously consider keeping Yellen in the post. Trump once attacked her leadership of the Fed, saying on the campaign trail that it had created a “big, fat, juicy bubble." But he told Fox Business Network last month that she was “very impressive,” and hinted he might yet reappoint her.
Yellen Ally
He did the next best thing, choosing a candidate who’s never dissented from Yellen on matters of monetary policy in the hope of keeping her economy going even without Yellen herself.
Gadfly: Wall Street salivates over one of its own
The Yellen Fed has gradually raised rates against a backdrop of declining unemployment and still-low inflation. Borrowing costs remain near historic lows and Yellen has maintained a cautious approach to tightening monetary policy, as she seeks to avoid undermining the economic expansion.
Before winning the White House, Trump had publicly complained for years that the Fed was too loose with the U.S. money supply. Trump was a critic of Fed policy under Yellen’s predecessor at the Fed, Ben Bernanke, protesting his moves to keep interest rates low and prop up the economy after the financial crisis just before Obama took office.
“The Fed’s reckless monetary policies will cause problems in the years to come,” Trump tweeted in 2011. “The Fed has to be reined in or we will soon be Greece,” referring to the European nation’s debt crisis that forced bailouts by euro-zone countries and the International Monetary Fund.
Trump persisted with his criticism, tweeting in 2012: “The Audacity of @BarackObama -- the Federal Reserve purchased 61% of all debt issued by Treasury in 2011. Killing our children’s future.”

Obama: Some jobs 'are just not going to come back'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKpso3vhZtw
And trump chump ballz keeps slurping along.....maybe he should research what he posts before accepting what others say....LOLOLOL!!
But all of those losses are concentrated in the first year-plus of his presidency. Thanx to the busch recession!!!!!
Isolating the period from March 2010 forward, the number of manufacturing jobs steadily has been increasing (though not back to the 2009 levels). Between March 2010 (the trough of Obama’s presidency) and May 2016, there has been an increase of 832,000 manufacturing jobs. This is what Obama was referring to, the White House told us.
And by that measure, that is indeed the greatest period of increase since the 1990s.
Is it really an accomplishment, though? That’s debatable for several reasons.
Bigger gains in the 1990s. The United States saw a bigger increase in manufacturing jobs in the 1990s. From July 1993 through April 1998, for instance, the country added 898,000 jobs.
Manufacturing was in sharp decline for all of the 2000s. The chart above shows how far, how fast the manufacturing sector has fallen, and while the jobs picture has brightened in recent years — far fewer people remain employed in the manufacturing sector. At the start of 2000, there were a total of 17.28 million employed in manufacturing. Today, that number stands at 12.29 million
We’ve seen job losses recently. The United States lost manufacturing jobs — 10,000 — in May 2016.
Who deserves credit? And while Obama did not directly attribute the recent increases to his policies, that is an obvious implication. In that regard, it is important to note that other economic factors beyond the president’s control also played a role. Sujit CanagaRetna, a senior fiscal analyst at the Council of State Governments, said external influences such as energy production and the global economic climate also played a role.
Our ruling
"We've seen more manufacturing jobs created since I've been president than anytime since the 1990s. That's a fact."
There has indeed been a consistent decline in manufacturing jobs between 1998 until 2010, so Obama is correct that his presidency has seen the largest period of sustained manufacturing growth since the 1990s.
Obama: Some jobs 'are just not going to come back'
Asshole,,,,,that is not what the other trump chump posted....Nice try and another fail by rat the giant hole....LOLOLOL

Well Dennis if you substituted Obama for Trump, you will find out how truly absured you sound.
BTW what exactly did Obama mean when he told Medavine "tell Vladimir I can be more flexable after the election"?
Maybe that he'll overlook Russia's hacking? Sure looks that way when Obama told his chief cyber-security officer to "stand-down".
Whoopie will regret going after Pirro. Judge Janine has more intellect than Goldberg could ever hope to have and has her own forum to show it.

s if you substituted Obama for Trump, you will find out how truly assured you sound.
And how stupid you continue to be with that flexible quote which you think meant something....
As usual, menstral our cramp only gives the part of the story that he Agrees with and ignores the salient facts that the GOP was ignoring the threat, just like trump....IDIOT
But as for his work on developing cyber deterrence measures, “those actions were put on a back burner and that was not the focus of our activity during that time period.”
Instead, Obama officials chose another course of action after becoming frustrated that Republican leaders on Capitol Hill would not endorse a bipartisan statement condemning Russian interference and fearful that any unilateral action by them would feed then candidate Donald Trump’s claims that the election was rigged. They chose a private “stern” warning by Obama to Russian President Vladimir Putin at a summit in China in early September 2016 to stop his country’s campaign to disrupt the U.S. election.
Obama officials were also worried that a vigorous cyber response along the lines Daniel had proposed could escalate into a full scale cyber war. And, they have since argued, they believed that the president’s warning had some impact, noting — as Daniel did in his testimony — that they saw some tamping down in Russian probing of state election data systems after Obama’s private talk with Putin.
But Nuland testified that while the Russians were “a little less active” in September after the Obama warning, Russian activity picked up again in October when the Russians accelerated their social media campaign using phony Facebook ads and Twitter bots.
Thanx for playing asshole..

More Confederate license plates than ever on Tennessee roads
Associated Press Associated Press 13 hours ago
They've hit a 10-year spike in popularity
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The number of Tennesseans with Confederate battle flag license plates has reached its highest point in a decade.
Data from the Tennessee Department of Revenue shows that 3,273 of the license plates benefiting the Sons of Confederate Veterans were active at the end of the 2018 fiscal year, The Tennessean reported .
That number represents a 72 percent increase from the end of the 2015 fiscal year, when the national debate of the display of Confederate flags reached a fever pitch following the massacre of nine black worshippers slain at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. The man sentenced to death in the June 2015 slayings said he intended to inflame racial tensions, leaving behind photos of himself posing at historical Civil War and African-American sites and holding the Confederate flag.
The Tennessee plate was introduced in 2004, but data on the number of active plates isn't available until 2008.
Rat hole again proves his asshattery with

According to the emails in evidence, at one point Devine was in regular contact with Russian intelligence agents. Devine was a lobbying business partner of Manafort and previously worked for the pro-Kremlin president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. Devine also previously worked for Sanders in the 1990s and as an aide to Al Gore, John Kerry, and Michael Dukakis on their respective presidential campaigns.

REPORT: MUELLER HAS OFFERED TONY PODESTA IMMUNITY TO TESTIFY IN MANAFORT CASE
Special counsel Robert Mueller has offered Clinton-connected superlobbyist Tony Podesta immunity in order to testify against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“Tonight we can report exclusively based on two separate sources we spoke to today that Tony Podesta has been offered immunity by Robert Mueller to testify against Paul Manafort,” reported Carlson.
The Daily Caller News Foundation has not independently confirmed the report.
Podesta, whose brother is Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, worked with Manafort’s consulting firm in 2012 on a project to help a Ukrainian non-profit group that supported then-Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych
So Podesta gets immunity for the same crimes Manafort is charged with. No bias there.

He admits it. Trump is right. End this charade now.
When Obama took office the United States was producing 5.1 million barrels of petroleum.
Fast forward to April 2016 and the U.S. produced 8.9 million barrels per day. That's an incredible 74% increase. In fact, in 2015, the U.S. pumped the most oil in 43 years.
The U.S. is now the world's No. 1 petroleum producer when you count not just crude but also liquified natural gas. If you limit the ranking to just crude oil, the U.S. still comes in No. 3, just narrowly behind Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Oh Whoopie Goldberg no wonder Roger tried to hide it.
She got owned by Perrio.
Natural gas production actually started to rise in 2006, and then rose each year for the next ten years. Thus, through seven of President Obama’s eight years in office, natural gas production rose. In President Bush’s last year in office, U.S. dry natural gas production was 20.2 trillion cubic feet (tcf). By 2015 that had risen to 27.1 tcf — an increase of 34%. Even though this year natural gas production is likely to retreat to ~24 tcf, President Obama did preside over the highest U.S. natural gas production levels in history.
The surge in oil production began a couple of years later than the uptick in natural gas production. In fact, it coincided with President Obama’s first year in office. Following eight straight years of declines during the Bush Administration, oil production rose for the first seven years of the Obama Administration. From 5 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2008, crude oil production rose by 88% to 9.4 million bpd in 2015. Oil production rose during the Obama Administration at the fastest rate in the 150-year history of the U.S. oil industry.
Of course the reason for the surge in oil and natural gas production under Obama was that he happened to come into office just as the shale revolution was getting started. While restrictive Obama Administration policies may have had some marginal impact on oil and gas production, the biggest driver was price. High prices drove technological improvements that enabled the shale revolution, and low prices are the primary reason production has dropped in 2016.
Nuclear power consumption was relatively stable during Obama’s presidency, but renewables surged across the board.
Biofuel production rose in all but one of the years Obama has been in office, but this was due to the Renewable Fuel Standard that was passed in 2005 and expanded in 2007. Even so, President Obama did nothing to get in the way of the rapid growth of the biofuel industry, which saw production rise by 62% between 2008 and 2015.
The bigger story, however, was the explosion of wind and solar power during the Obama Administration. Again, both started to grow during the Bush Administration, but the forced tilt away from coal provided a tremendous boost to wind and solar power. During the last year of the Bush Administration, wind and solar power respectively supplied 56 Terawatt-hours (TWh) and 1.6 TWh.
By 2015 those consumption numbers for wind and solar power had grown to 193 TWh and 39 TWh. That translates to a 245% gain in wind power and a whopping 2300% gain in solar power production over the first seven years of the Obama Administration. And unlike oil and gas, these numbers are likely to grow again in 2016.
Certainly some of President Obama’s decisions have been viewed by the fossil fuel industry as hostile. And President-elect Trump will work hard to erase Obama’s energy legacy. Nevertheless, the huge irony of Obama’s presidency is that despite his reputation as an anti-energy president, he has presided over the largest expansion of energy in history.

William F. Buckley jr. would despise Trump. He pushed the John Birch Society into the trash and in effect rescued the Republican party from the racist rodent type of Republicans.
I watched his debate program on PBS for years. I didn't always agree with him, but he was intellectually honest and trustworthy. Donald J. Trump is the polar opposite kind of Republican. If he was alive today he would be on the list of Republicans urging his fellow Republicans to vote for the Democrats in the next election and in 2020 if Trump is the candidate.

"Crude oil and natural gas production hit a new record in June with the highest production ever in the U.S.
Production of crude topped 10.7 million barrels per day with production of natural gas hitting 4 million barrels per day, according to an analysis released by the American Petroleum Institute (API) Thursday.
API praised the major energy milestone as a sign of the country's "energy renaissance."
"U.S. oil production has supplied all of the growth in global oil demand so far this year and helped compensate for production losses in some OPEC nations," the group said. "With continued increases in drilling activity, the U.S. is poised for further production increases in natural gas and oil."

More Fake News
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Mr. Trump two months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording.
The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.
The recording’s existence further draws Mr. Trump into questions about tactics he and his associates used to keep aspects of his personal and business life a secret. And it highlights the potential legal and political danger that Mr. Cohen represents to Mr. Trump. Once the keeper of many of Mr. Trump’s secrets, Mr. Cohen is now seen as increasingly willing to consider cooperating with prosecutors.
Giuliani says that this is explicit proof of his innocence .

Democrats in 2005/2006.
"Bush’s energy plan passed, but Democrats defeated one of the key components of that bill to block drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Republicans acquiesced to tax credits for clean energy and promoted ethanol."
Dims today:
"
A group of House Democrats introduced legislation Tuesday that would block oil and natural gas drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
The bill from Reps. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and others would reverse Congress's decision last year to approve drilling in a portion of ANWR, which was included as part of the Republican tax overhaul.
The sponsors of the anti-drilling legislation warned that with the Trump administration hoping to hold an auction for drilling rights next year, lawmakers have to work fast to overturn the provision.
"Plain and simple: the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a national treasure worth protecting for future generations," Huffman said in a statement."

The attorney-client privilege does not apply when a client consults a lawyer for the purpose of furthering an illegal or fraudulent act. United States v. Zolin, 491 U.S. 554, 563 (1989); In re Antitrust Grand Jury, 805 F.2d 155, 162 (6th Cir. 1986); In re Grand Jury Subpoenas Duces Tecum, 773 F.2d 204, 206 (8th Cir. 1985); United States v.

The so-called “crime-fraud exception” removes the protection of the attorney-client privilege for communications concerning contemplated or continuing crimes or frauds. This exception encompasses criminal and fraudulent conduct based on action as well as inaction.

The attorney-client privilege does not apply when a client consults a lawyer for the purpose of furthering an illegal or fraudulent
And yet there is no fraud or crime alleaged in the matter. So basically it's a red herring and the lawyers are in trouble.
Roger you have been a drugged out , alky, crippled , leach on the tax payer, a cheater on your ex wife , that mirror is tough on you.
Note, you tell us your home address, that you don't hold title to.
777Kristin Davis, the Manhattan Madam who went to prison and was connected to former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, is being subpoenaed in the Robert Mueller investigation ... TMZ has learned.
Davis worked for former Trump aide Roger Stone for a decade, and had numerous interactions with Stone and Andrew Miller -- who ran Davis' campaign for Governor and who was subpoenaed by Mueller a month ago.
Sources familiar with the matter tell us, Davis' lawyer is negotiating the scope of the subpoena with Mueller's team.
As you know, Stone was referenced in the indictments last week of 12 Russians who allegedly meddled in the 2016 election.
We don't know that. Unless you believe what Giuliani has been saying on Fox News we don't know that.
The tarrifs imposed by the President are effectively a tax on the Chinese made products.
When has the left ever been against a tax?
This is against everything the Republican party has stood for since Reagan was President. Free trade was the most important part of the Reagan era on the world economy. Trump is threatening to toss it under the bus.
I was against free trade philosophy at the time because it was going to destroy much of our manufacturing system. It did that.
If the money from the tarrifs are used to reconstruct the infrastructure that the President said he would rebuild. He hasn't done anything yet on infrastructure projects like he said. You voted against Hillary Clinton and not really pro Trump. But an honest man you should be speaking out against him and his sucking up to Putin.

Yes, completely lost it. There is so much counter-reality in his blog post that it's pointless for you to address it. Even the White House (as opposed to the bumbling fool himself) are running away from Trump's willingness to let a US Ambassador be questioned by Russia, and that's just a (relatively) small part of Trump's newest problem. The only hypocrisy about it is right here echoed by the blind base.
WP. I know that it's a waste of time. Scott has joined the Trump cult. He refuses to criticize him for anything. Lying by Obama was unforgivable. Trump lied about the crowd size on day one. There are over 3,000 verified lies or exaggerations. His impulsive behavior has put our country in jeopardy. Both foriegn and domestic.
The only hypocrisy about it is right here echoed by the blind base. Is absolutely correct.
