Remember they called Obama a "king" and "dictator" who knew this is what they really wanted? Well, except for the skin color of course.

It's important to note that according to this report, last year several top Republicans and Democrats were allegedly informed by Rosenstein and McCabe about the probe into Sessions' candor during his confirmation process. Additionally it appears to have been closed long ago with no stated wrongdoing. Mueller has interviewed Sessions 2 months ago and told him he is not under investigation for perjury or false statements and related written submissions during his confirmation process.

Can't wait to read Trump's tweets on how "great" Sessions is now.

After the Office Of Special Counsel (not Mueller) issuing a report about Conway's violation of the Hatch Act and recommending disciplinary action, she's still in the running and appears to be getting closer to the job of communications director.

Nice to see Godfather Pruitt of the EPA family rewarding his goons and letting his Capos and Soldiers fly with him in first class.

EPA: Pruitt's security detail flies first class

The 24-hour security detail tasked with protecting Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt also flies with him in first class, the EPA confirmed Wednesday.

In a letter sent to Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee Wednesday, the EPA confirmed that Pruitt's security detail flies in luxury class when he travels.

"On past trips, his protective service detail accompanied him in first class," the letter reads.

The agency cites security threats as the reason for Pruitt's upgraded travel and says the same government waiver the administrator uses to fly non-coach travel applies to his security team.

"These circumstances include, but are not limited to, situations when the "'[use] of coach-class accommodations would endanger [one's] life or Government property' or an agent on protective detail is "accompanying an individual authorized to use other than coach-class accommodations," EPA's Associate Administrator Troy Lyons wrote.



The letter sites ease of egress for the main reason why Pruitt and his security team use first class for security purposes.

"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Service Detail has identified specific, ongoing threats associated with the Administrator's air travel and, therefore, shifted his class based on certain security protocols that require him to be near the front of the plane," read the letter. "This location allows the Administrator's security agents to expeditiously exit with him upon the occurrence of a threat."

The letter was a response to a request from committee Democrats last month regarding reports of Pruitt’s first class travel at taxpayer expense.

Upon receiving EPA's letter, Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-N.J.) along with Oversight and Investigations subcommittee Ranking Member Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), and Environment Subcommittee Ranking Member Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.) warned Pruitt to be prepared for his next Capitol Hill appearance.

“When Mr. Pruitt appears before the Energy and Commerce Committee next month, he must be prepared to explain why U.S. taxpayers should foot the bill for his lavish travel habits," they said in a joint statement Wednesday.

The EPA's letter is the first time the agency has confirmed that Pruitt's team flies the same class as he does during travel. Official documents released by the agency earlier this week showed that Pruitt's detail often contributes significant costs to his travel. During a trip to Italy and the Vatican last June, Pruitt's security cost taxpayers more than $30,000, according to the travel vouchers.

I think Trump should've just tried to get ahead of Stormy Daniels and admit to the affair. At this point what's the harm? It's only gonna get worse the longer he drags it out and tries to prevent her disclosing any information. While at the same time insisting he has no personal involvement with her or the NDA.

Da Don has nothing to be ashamed about. When you are as RICH, DAPPER AND HANDSOME as he is, the sky is the limit. Daniels is a LIB plant paid for by Soros.

The party of family values isn't going to care one way or another.

The party of family values isn't going to care one way or another.

It's because donald is a true Christian, sent to us by god himself, to eradicate libbie lies and weakness and to show us the way to all the values Jesus stood for: greed, infidelity, vanity, selfishness, gluttony, pride, laziness, and being quick to anger.

he will never give in to humility, patience, or gratitude, as those are sins characteristic of the leftist disease.

he is only guilty of one thing: being too dapper.

 

[whywesteppin]

it should be illegal to embarrass stupid libbies (barely even human, if you ask me) so thoroughly as these guys did. aepps20, let's get these geniuses in the coal gang ASAP!

 

[whywesteppin]

serious question: why are only guns considered "arms" by second amendment gun nuts?

what about other weapons? explosives, knives, chemical and biological weapons, etc. are all technically arms and I doubt anyone can provide a cogent argument claiming that they were not included within the original intent of the second amendment.
