From the flailing NY Times:
Trump Says He Is Willing to Speak Under Oath to Mueller
OK, it makes for a snappy headline and Trump did say it but as we all should know by now - false material statements to a Federal investigator are a felony, with or without any "oaths".
If Trump's lawyers are OK with putting their, well, garrulous impulsive and undisciplined client in front of interviewers looking for a process crime, well, I can only hope they have an associate with quick reflexes standing by with a thorazine dart gun.
Or we may be on a road to some sort of Washington crisis when Mueller returns an indictment against Trump for lying and obstructing an investigation that turns up no actual collusion.
At least somebody around this place still knows how to post a new thread!
Toilets: The FBI, Department of Justice and the Guggenheim

anonamom, thank you for the Sarah Huckabee Sanders link. I will have that story in mind whenever I see Sarah standing against the Democrat infested media being someone who is doing something.

Good morning!
Great Pieces, Clarice!
That Guggenheim gal is probably hoping for a big donation from Tom Steyer.
How many posts are we up to, now?

anonamom,
I echo hoyden about the Sarah Huckabee Sanders piece. I will think of that, too.
I often wonder how she does it, because I would lose my temper. Bigly.

Out of the park Pieces, Clarice! The FBI is "taking the Fifth" in withholding the vast majority of the Strzok-Page texts.
Time to go all Tidy Bowl on the top FBI echelon.

MM: "I often wonder how she does it, because I would lose my temper. Bigly."
I imagine Sarah has her eye on the ball and won't be distracted by her personal feelings. The Democrat infested media sitting in front of her have no clue what they are up against.

Right on cue, this popped up on my local news.

Now, I don't believe this guy is the innocent he's made out to be.
However, I can see this playing out much the same as the shutdown.
Trump has made a good offer. Schumer looks stubborn. The longer this goes on, the more those sympathetic to the Dreamers will wonder why Schumer isn't doing anything.
Most of the Dreamers don't really care about the Wall, or curbing legal immigration, or bringing relatives here (because their relatives are already here). What they do care about is removing the danger of deportation.
I predict that pretty soon they will be supporting Trump's position/

Apparently a decree went out from the Motion Picture Academy, and James Woods isn't happy:
James WoodsVerified account @RealJamesWoods
So @TheAcademy outlined its new guidelines for purging members today. Basically anonymous “claimants” may make any accusation they wish. The “accused” may only respond in writing to his accuser’s claims. No due process. No hearing. Pure McCarthyism. The blacklist all over again.

Democrats are not interested in Border Safety & Security or in the funding and rebuilding of our Military. They are only interested in Obstruction!

"[Democrats] are only interested in Obstruction!"
Obstruction of democracy when Democrats are out of power, destruction of democracy when Democrats are in power.

Above link doesn't let you know what it's about.
Senator Rubio fired his chief of staff. Improper conduct.

Guess who MSU's attorney in this disgusting Nasser affair has been?
None other than Strzok and Page's good buddy, Patrick Fitzgerald!

Good morning, JOM!! Terrible sad story, cathyf. The death of a child deeply hurts everyone who knows of it.My nephew died at 49 after a long battle with glioblastoma--a horrible way to die. when he was undergoing treatments and saw young kids in the oncologist waiting rooms, he had to walk out fo compose himself because he found the thought of THeir pain unbearable.

Looks like Fitzgerald is still doing a Fitzgerald; seeing only what he wants to see.
Posted by: hoyden | January 28, 2018 at 07:20 AM
Morning Clarice, I don't think the Guggenheim appreciates where Trump may go with an insult to his wife.
Cathyf, prayers for the family of a very brave little boy.
