Washington: Former US national security adviser Michael Flynn and other advisers to Donald Trump's campaign were in contact with Russian officials and others with Kremlin ties in at least 18 calls and emails during the last seven months of the 2016 presidential race, current and former US officials familiar with the exchanges told Reuters.
Another day, another fake news story this time from one of the fake news all-stars, the New York Times. In their never-ending quest to destroy Donald Trump's presidency and either drive him insane or goad his fair-weather fellow GOPers to impeach him, the misleading headline points the way.
For decades now, the Washington Post and New York Times have been read only by left-wing minions of the Democratic Party. Both are well known propaganda machines of the far left in America.
President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey created an urgent need for a special prosecutor, independent of the White House and the Justice Department, to investigate whether members of the Trump campaign team and administration violated federal law. The Justice Department's appointment Wednesday of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special prosecutor was the right thing to do.
I was also considering the lunacy of the left - especially those Senate Democrats - who are threatening to block the nomination of a new FBI director if they don't get a special prosecutor to investigate Trump-Russian collusion. In other words, the Democrats have a "conviction looking for evidence" mentality, which is truly insane, not to mention a violation of legal standard.

Charles Grassley, the chairman of the committee, and Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein wrote Comey on Wednesday. They asked him to testify on the "circumstances of your termination" and his interactions with President Donald Trump's administration about the FBI's investigation into Russia.

Right after President Donald Trump took office, Mikey Dickerson traveled to Silicon Valley to make a pitch for the U.S. Digital Service, a program he'd run that's brought hundreds of technologists to Washington to improve the government's clunky computers and unsecured networks. As a political appointee, Dickerson's job ended in January, yet he volunteered to recruit for the program.

The "thing" is an accumulation of claims he has dark personal, financial and political connections with Russia which continued through the election campaign. The President is in danger of charges he has interfered with the course of justice with heavy-handed interventions which continue to preoccupy his administration.

Consternation and confusion overtook Capitol Hill on Tuesday as Republicans confronted revelations that President Donald Trump had disclosed highly classified information to the Russians in the Oval Office a day after firing FBI Director James Comey. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell paused and answered simply "no" when asked if he had concerns about the president's ability to properly handle classified information in wake of the revelations.
Starting with press secretary Sean Spicer insisting inaccurately that President Donald Trump drew record-setting inauguration crowds, top presidential advisers have provided information that is provably false or contradicted by others in the White House, including Trump himself. The pattern continued this week, with national security advisers giving one account of what Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office only to have the president himself revise it.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is dismissing the fact that popular vote loser Donald Trump leaked highly sensitive classified information to Russian officials as nothing more than "drama" in the White House. Clearly, it's drama that's getting in the way of his tax cuts.
For a man who wanted to lock up Hillary Clinton for her reckless handling of State Department materials, President Donald Trump seems remarkably unaware of the dangers of leaking highly classified information to known adversaries. Given that the president frequently blames his bad luck on staffers talking to reporters without permission, who can blame anyone for marveling at Trump's leaking - to the Russians - information so classified that just mentioning it risks outing a key ally in our fight against the Islamic State? It's as if the president of the United States of America doesn't remember classic national security wisdom: "Loose lips sink ships."
" Hillary Clinton launched a new political organization on Monday designed to push back against President Donald Trump's agenda. The former Democratic nominee used social media to announce the creation of "Onward Together," an adaptation from her campaign theme, "Stronger Together."
