After that hearing, Mr. Trump began to discuss openly with White House officials his desire to fire Mr. Comey. This unnerved some inside the White House counsel’s office, and even led one of Mr. McGahn’s deputies to mislead the president about his authority to fire the F.B.I. director. The lawyer, Uttam Dhillon, was convinced that if Mr. Comey was fired, the Trump presidency could be imperiled, because it would force the Justice Department to open an investigation into whether Mr. Trump was trying to derail the Russia investigation. Longstanding analysis of presidential power says that the president, as the head of the executive branch, does not need grounds to fire the F.B.I. director. Mr. Dhillon, a veteran Justice Department lawyer before joining the Trump White House, assigned a junior lawyer to examine this issue. That lawyer determined that the F.B.I. director was no different than any other employee in the executive branch, and that there was nothing prohibiting the president from firing him.

But Mr. Dhillon, who had earlier told Mr. Trump that he needed cause to fire Mr. Comey, never corrected the record, withholding the conclusions of his research. Stephen I. Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas School of Law, called the episode “extraordinary,” adding that he could not think of a similar one that occurred in past administrations. “This shows that the president’s lawyers don’t trust giving him all the facts because they fear he will make a decision that is not best suited for him,” Mr. Vladeck said.

Kellyanne Conway's husband: I give my wife a 'harder time' about working for Trump than she gets walking down the street

George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway who has been a notable critic of President Donald Trump, says he gives his wife a "harder time" than anyone they encounter in public about working for Trump. Conway told The Washington Post that "it's just endless selfies" when they are approached in public. But he said Kellyanne "has been getting a harder time from me about working for this administration than walking down the street." The Washington Post examined the experiences of many current and former White House aides and officials — such as Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Sean Spicer, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders — as they have faced scrutiny and criticism in public places both around and outside the nation's capital.

No prosecution experience, no litigation experience, no problem. But hey, he worked for a Russian bank...

Dems rip Trump DOJ nominee who represented Russian bank

Senate Democrats are pushing back against President Trump’s nominee for assistant attorney general, citing concerns over his past work for a Russian bank. A number of Democrats issued statements on Tuesday raising red flags about the nomination of Brian Benczkowski to lead the Department of Justice's criminal division. They cited his lack of prosecutorial experience, as well as his ties to a Russian bank. The New York Times first reported last year that Benczkowski told lawmakers he previously represented Alfa Bank, one of Russia's largest financial institutions. The owners of Alfa Bank have ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Geez, new trump communications director bill shine's wife is a story all by herself (as a female alex jones?)...

Wife of top Trump aide had radio show where she said women in military should expect sexual harassment

"And you know what, I'm the first person to admit I'm sexist. I don't think that girls should play on the boys' high school team. I don't think that the girls should be -- I think it's insanity that there are feminists who are stupid enough to fight to go to combat. Are you kidding me? Let the men go die on the front lines," Shine said in an August 2009 episode. "Why would you want to go die on the front line? You have to be an idiot.

Speaking in August 2009, Shine declared herself a "sexist" and said women serving with men in the military should expect to be sexually harassed. "And why on earth would you fight to go on the submarine ship for months on end? You know there was just a story with these girls, these women who are upset that they are sexually harassed in the military," Shine said. "What do you think is going to happen when you go on a submarine for 12 months with 4,000 horny soldiers? "I hate to say it, but it's true. They should not even be allowed. The top military should say, 'No way, you're not allowed.' But you know, the feminists have fought for these rights. It's so stupid. I don't know why anybody would want that."

In various episodes, Shine suggested a flu pandemic could be a "setup" by the government in collusion with pharmaceutical companies, pushed a rumor that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was planning on rounding up those afflicted with swine flu and putting them in camps, and said the government could break into homes and force citizens to get the flu vaccine. Shine said armed resistance might be needed to fight against this. She also called for the closing all US borders because of the swine flu.

No experience in space operations? Perfect...

Trump pick for top NASA role has no past experience in space operations
BY MAX GREENWOOD - 07/12/18 07:43 PM EDT

The White House has tapped a long-time Senate aide with little experience in space operations or technology to be the No. 2 official at NASA. The White House announced on Thursday that President Trump picked James Morhard, who currently serves as the Senate's deputy sergeant at arms, for the deputy administrator post at the U.S. space agency. Morhard has a long career in Washington, including stints as the staff director for the Senate Appropriations Committee and a job in the Secretary of the Navy's Office of the Comptroller. But absent from his resume is experience in space operations.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine had said publicly that he wanted Janet Kavandi, a former astronaut who runs the agency's Glenn Research Center, to be tapped as his deputy. But according to The Washington Post, Morhard got the nomination because of his close ties within the Washington establishment.

I'd fire dhs secretary kristen nielsen for her involvement in the inhumane separation of children from families and for her defense of trump's position that russians didn't influence the ellections to trump's benefit.

And then she said this... she can't be removed from the job soon enough.

DHS chief on Charlottesville: 'It's not that one side is right and one side is wrong'

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Thursday spoke about the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., last year saying "it's not that one side is right and one side is wrong." Her comments were made when she was pressed to address comments made at the time by President Trump where he blamed violence that erupted at the rally on “both sides,” equivocating the white supremacist rally with counterprotesters.

"I think what's important about that conversation is, it's not that one side is right and one side is wrong," Nielsen said at an Aspen Security Forum event. "Anybody that is advocating violence, we need to work to mitigate."

Critics have compared Trump's "both sides" comment after Charlottesville with his recent comments on Russian interference in 2016. On Monday, Trump implied that he trusts Russian President Vladimir Putin's denial of Russian meddling in the election, despite the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia did meddle.
