Mexico's president said on Friday he would respond with "great prudence" to threats by his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump to impose tariffs on Mexican goods entering the United States, and called on Mexicans to unite to face the challenge.

Not Happening.
“It was US security who said ‘we can’t have our President riding through a foreign capital in a vehicle made out of leather and wood and built in the 19th century’.”
A huge security operation will be in place as President Trump arrives in the UK in June.






It’s pathetic to watch the reviews of Mueller as performance art. He issued a clarion call that we’ve been attacked — and continue to be under attack — by an enemy power and that POTUS is covering it all up rather than defending America. And people dissect his double negatives! - Laurence Tribe, Harvard Law

Barr makes this clear today: he didn’t simply misinterpret Mueller, he overruled him- “WE DIDN’T AGREE WITH THE LEGAL ANALYSIS..IT DID NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THE DEPARTMENT. IT WAS THE VIEWS OF PARTICULAR LAWYER OR LAWYERS, AND SO WE APPLIED WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS THE RIGHT LAW.” - Jim Sciutto, CNN

Trump Calls Impeachment a ‘Dirty, Filthy, Disgusting Word’

Trump Calls Impeachment a ‘Dirty, Filthy, Disgusting Word’
President Donald Trump renewed his assertion that Robert Mueller’s report exonerated him of wrongdoing, claiming that the special counsel "would have brought charges" if he could, and adding that he “can’t imagine the courts allowing” him to be impeached.

This is the Nancy Pelosi I want to see

Pelosi Neither Deterred Nor Spurred By Mueller Statement: ‘Congress Will Continue to Investigate’
Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement on Wednesday in response to retiring Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s big news press conference...The Special Counsel’s report revealed that the President’s campaign welcomed Russian interference in the election, and laid out eleven instances of the President’s obstruction of the investigation. The Congress holds sacred its constitutional responsibility to investigate and hold the President accountable for his abuse of power.
The Congress will continue to investigate and legislate to protect our elections and secure our democracy. The American people must have the truth...


Given that Special Counsel Mueller was unable to pursue criminal charges against the President, it falls to Congress to respond to the crimes, lies and other wrongdoing of President Trump – and we will do so. No one, not even the President of the United States, is above the law. - Rep. Jerry Nadler tweet

And it's only Wednesday!

Remember, Barr said that there was no strong case of obstruction and that he and Rosenstein decided there was no obstruction. That is NOT what Mueller just said. - David Corn





My God.
 A man set himself on fire Wednesday on the Ellipse in downtown Washington, across from the White House, the Secret Service said.


Mueller said basically- I spent two years writing a report and gave you my findings, you did nothing. 
So, I had to come out here and spell it out for you. I couldn’t do anything, but you can. Here’s the football. - David Yankovich

I Guess Steve Bannon And Trump Aren't Friends Anymore
While Steve Bannon’s last time talking to author Michael Wolff for a book resulted in him receiving a round of condemnation from Donald Trump and his allies, Bannon is back to insulting the president in Wolff’s new work — this time labeling him “just another scumbag.”

He will also not participate in a carriage ride to Buckingham Palace, a decision attributed to ‘security concerns’.
And Mr Trump won’t stay in Buckingham Palace during his three-day visit due to renovation work.
