Calls grow for Sessions to withdraw from Russia probe

A growing number of Republicans joined Democratic leaders Thursday in calling for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to step aside from an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 White House election.

The most important word Trump didna t say Tuesday

Trump uttered some 5,000 words and spoke for 60 minutes, but not one of those words was “Russia,” and not one of those minutes was devoted to the so-far-successful effort by our geopolitical adversary to undermine American democracy.

No evidence of Russian contract, but calls grow for special prosecutor

Trump blames Democrats for pushing ‘fake’ Russia news…

After a day of discussions on Sunday talk shows about upcoming Congressional investigations into contacts between the members of the Trump White House and Russian intelligence agents, the President took to Twitter to call any talk of Russia “FAKE NEWS.” Friday night Rep.

Enemy of the fools

President Donald Trump has declared journalists to be the enemies of the people, an allusion to history with which the neo fascist leader is probably entirely unfamiliar.
