Trump can run his mouth but he can't hide!

Nadler accuses Trump of witness intimidation, threatens legal action over McGahn testimony
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) accused President Trump of witness intimidation on Tuesday and threatened legal action to enforce his panel’s subpoena for public testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn.
“He took to Twitter to call Mr. McGahn a liar. His lawyers went on cable television to do the same,” Nadler said at a brief committee hearing that was supposed to feature McGahn’s testimony.

Hillary Warned Us About The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy in 1998
On January 27, 1998, Hillary Clinton appeared on NBC's The Today Show, in an interview with Matt Lauer.

Matt Lauer: You have said, I understand, to some close friends, that this is the last great battle, and that one side or the other is going down here.

Hillary Clinton: Well, I don't know if I've been that dramatic. That would sound like a good line from a movie. But I do believe that this is a battle. I mean, look at the very people who are involved in this—they have popped up in other settings. This is—the great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president.

Clinton elaborated by decrying the tactics "and the kind of intense political agenda at work here". Bob Woodward recounts in his book The Agenda (1994) that the then-first lady claimed that when her husband was making his decision to run for the presidency in 1991, he reported receiving "a direct threat from someone in the Bush White House, warning that if he ran, the Republicans would go after him. 'We will do everything we can to destroy you personally,' she recalled that the Bush White House man had said.

Morgan Stanley Slaps Tesla
Tesla’s (TSLA) stock has dropped about 38% this year amid lower-than-expected vehicle deliveries, cash burn concerns and a crash reportedly related to the company’s autopilot feature.
But this could just be the start of the stock’s declines, according to one analyst.
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas cut his bear case outlook scenario on Tesla’s stock from $97 to $10 in a note published Tuesday. This worst-case scenario would represent an about 95% decline from Monday’s closing price of $205.36 per share.

It has been 59 days since Mueller turned in his report. Just sayin...

Trump freaks out over Deutsche Bank money-laundering bombshell in early morning tweetstorm
President Donald Trump lashed out against reporting about his suspicious transactions flagged by Deutsche Bank as potential money laundering.


Trump is destroying our spirit with yet another distraction from his illegal actions by threatening war with Iran. He does what he wants with no consequences. He is destroying our faith in the rule of law because he is proudly flaunting his criminality every single day. Impeachment is too easy on him, he needs to be arrested today.

The lists were shared on the USS Florida, a guided-missile submarine, where investigators found that “lewd and sexist comments and jokes were tolerated, and trust up and down the chain of command was nonexistent,”

Today's special is...

Michael Flynn told Mueller's team White House, congressional officials tried to influence his cooperation
Former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn told the special counsel's office that people connected to the Trump administration and Congress sought to influence his cooperation with the Russia investigation, and he provided a voicemail recording of one such communication, prosecutors said in a court filing made public Thursday.


FYI: Barack Obama personally warned Donald Trump not to hire Flynn. So did Sally Yates and James Comey and probably the chef who makes him hamberders.

I can just hear Sarah Slanders: "We're aware of that report, we don't really put much stock in a false accusation by an admitted liar." - Suave Hellion tweet
