Bush said the memo released by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee alleging abuses of government spying powers is "politically motivated" and "amateurish." "It's politically motivated, it's sort of amateurish, it's very short, and it leads to more questions than it answers," Matt Olsen, an ABC News contributor who previously served under Bush in the Justice Department's National Security Division, told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in a panel discussion on This Week Sunday.

On November 21, 2016, Michael Sainato at the New York Observer presented an overwhelming number of examples of 2015-2016 collusion between the press and the Hillary Clinton campaign. It serves as a definitive rebuttal of any claim that the press wasn't in the tank for Mrs. Clinton.
One of the things of which Donald Trump reassured his supporters during his campaign rallies was that he--by virtue of being high profile and rich--knew all the best people, so that he could get things done that weren't being addressed by all those Washington insiders.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump sucker punched beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by reminding them that he considers them to be nothing more than "illegal immigrants," simultaneously declaring that American citizens are the ones worthy of being called "Dreamers."
