Trump appointee Gorsuch takes far right positions on U.S. high court
(Travel ban guns etc)

[Brian Peacock]

I actually don't think it's a bad idea to lift some of the restrictions ahead of the deliberation and judgement. It will give some idea as to the essential soundness of the policy, by which I mean it will show that the travel ban makes fuck all difference and is clearly a xenophobic knee jerk reaction to brown people from far away places for political effect.

Trump hangs Hillary's gold curtains in oval office. Bill's blow job room was not restored.

Ah Project Veritas. The failed god-bothering Planned Parenthood harassers.

Nothing is over:
It’s notable that Trump is moving the scandal goalposts away from evidence of collusion to the existence of “tapes.” He’s doing this at a time when right-wing pundits are arguing that even if evidence of the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia doesemerge, such collusion is not criminal. Perhaps a new bombshell is going to drop soon and the right is trying to pre-emptively defuse it. But whatever happens, four months is nothing in an investigation like this.

Talk about fake news. Trump prints it himself:

Time magazine asks Trump to remove fake covers from display at golf clubs

Framed Time cover featuring president and the headline ‘The Apprentice is a television smash!’ has reportedly been seen hanging at five of Trump’s clubs
Time magazine has asked the Trump organisation to remove fake covers bearing his image from his golf clubs.

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that a framed Time cover featuring Trump and the headline “Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!” [sic], seen hanging at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, was faked.

At the top of the page, in capitals, was the proclamation: “TRUMP IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS … EVEN TV!”

Russiagate is fake!
Not so fast. Wiki sources (no CNNsource)

The United States Intelligence Community has concluded with high confidence that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[1] A January 2017 assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) stated that Russian leadership preferred presidential candidate Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered an "influence campaign" to harm Clinton's electoral chances and "undermine public faith in the US democratic process".[2]:7

On October 7, 2016,[3] the ODNI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) jointly stated that Russian intelligence services had hacked the email accounts of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, and forwarded their contents to WikiLeaks.[4][5] Several cybersecurity firms stated that the cyberattacks were committed by hacker groups Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear associated with Russian intelligence.[6] The January 2017 report added that Russian government also meddled in the elections by disseminating fake news promoted on social media.[2]:12 Russian officials have repeatedly denied involvement in any DNC hacks or leaks.[7][8][9] The CIA cited intelligence sources inside the Russian government that identified Putin giving instructions to disparage Clinton and help Trump.[10]

On October 31, U.S. President Barack Obama directly warned Putin to stop interfering or face "serious consequences".[11] In December, he ordered a report on hacking efforts aimed at U.S. elections since 2008,[12] while U.S. Senators called for a bipartisan investigation.[13][14] President-elect Donald Trump initially rejected claims of foreign interference and said that Democrats were reacting to their election loss.[15][16] On December 29, 2016, the U.S. expelled 35 Russian diplomats, denied access to two Russia-owned compounds, and broadened existing sanctions on Russian entities and individuals.[17]

Several investigations about Russian influence on the election have been underway: a counter-intelligence investigation by the FBI,[18] hearings by the Senate Intelligence Committee[19] and the House Intelligence Committee,[20] and inquiries about possible links and financial ties between the Kremlin and Trump associates, notably targeting Paul Manafort, Carter Page and Roger Stone.[21][22]

On May 9, 2017, Trump dismissed FBI Director James Comey,[23] citing in part dissatisfaction with the ongoing suspicions of his presidency because of "this Russia thing".[24][25] On May 17, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel to oversee the investigation.[26]

So why are there multiple legal enquiries into it if it's all just made up crap?

So why are there multiple legal enquiries into it if it's all just made up crap?

Legal inquiries happen regarding innocent people. When powerful political folks in a machine want to drum up an investigation, they can. Like when Clinton was investigated for Monica Lewinsky. A lot of inquiries happen because of politics.

And, why do you think Democrats were so quick to say that the Clinton email scandal was a big nothing. Lots of inquiries and investigations of her, right? But, Democrats said it was a witch hunt, made up, and Hillary didndonuffin....
