This is one more example showing that some here are definitely trolls, and only trolls. Trolls who spread conspiracy theories hatched on social media sites.

The only requirement needed to gain a trolls allegiance is that these conspiracies must be anti mainstream thinking.

When it's Obama or Clinton they're outraged about any perceived mishandling of classified material. With Trump our national security is like Swiss cheese and not a word from them about it. Why, because it's the opinion of the mainstream. Yep trolls...

Officials in at least four countries have privately discussed ways they can manipulate Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, by taking advantage of his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports on the matter. Among those nations discussing ways to influence Kushner to their advantage were the United Arab Emirates, China, Israel and Mexico, the current and former officials said.

Of course they have. Why wouldn’t they? Kushner is inexperienced, avaricious, and in tough financial straits. He’s an easy mark. That explains this, also from the Post:

Jared Kushner, senior adviser and son-in-law to President Trump, had his security clearance downgraded Friday, sharply limiting his access to some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets amid concerns raised by the ongoing investigation of his background, two White House officials said Tuesday. Kushner was one of several White House officials who received a memo Friday announcing that because of their interim security clearances, their status was being downgraded from the “Top Secret/SCI” level to the “Secret” level, a far lower level of access to classified information.

“Secret”? Not even “Top Secret?” Seriously? Nothing of any real consequence is classified Secret. Kushner has been put in about the same category as a sixth grader, and for good reason: because the intelligence community is afraid that foreign countries might try to take advantage of his complex business arrangements and financial diff—

Oh.

You beat me to it - essentially: "Could Donald J. Trump get a Top Secret background clearance?" Hell no. His financial records would be scanned with a fine tooth comb, so that for one would exclude him. I am sure there are plenty of other skeletons in that closet.

Highly suggest listening to Preet Bhara's pod:

His twitter account is pretty great too.

Headline after headline about corrupt Trump and his cronies. This doesn't include the recent disclosure that Trumps daughters friend made 26 million for inaugural. Her agency didn't even exist until a few weeks before the inaugural. Yet is was given the contract to coordinate all the events on that day.

Where is the outrage of those on the right concerning all Trumps staff and Jeff Sessions refusing to answer questions at the Senate hearings? Most recently Hope Hicks. They are cooperating is all you hear them say publicly but the facts show they are anything but cooperating.

Not just Trump needs impeaching. Include Ben Carson: A senior career official in the US Department of Housing and Urban Development has alleged that she was demoted and replaced with a Donald Trump appointee after refusing to break the law by funding an expensive redecoration of Ben Carson’s office.

Helen Foster said she was told “$5,000 will not even buy a decent chair” after informing her bosses this was the legal price limit for improvements to the HUD secretary’s suite at the department’s Washington headquarters.

Foster, 47, claimed that she also faced retaliation for exposing a $10m budget shortfall, and for protesting when she was barred from handling a pair of sensitive freedom of information act (FOIA) requests relating to Trump apparently because she was perceived to be a Democrat.

As soon as the first and second stories came out, Ben Carson began to lie his head off, as revealed in the third story. Gentle Ben refuses to admit that he has done what he did.

These Trump people believe that they can't be touched as long as they lie and/or refuse to speak. It will take prosecution to make them talk honestly.

I hadn't heard about this. We have a White House and Cabinet being run entirely by crooks and racists.

Hope Hicks leaving White House

White House Communications Director Hope Hicks will resign, the White House confirmed Wednesday afternoon. The New York Times first reported her impending departure — it is unclear when exactly she will leave, although it will be soon.

Hicks' departure comes a day after she testified before the House Intelligence Committee, and a day after it was reported that White House deputy communications director Josh Raffel is leaving the White House.

I guess when she was testifying she started to realize she is in deep shit because of what she knows. She can't lie or it's jail so this is the first step she is taking to distance herself from Trump. More to come with this one I'm betting.

Forgive me, but because MSNBC videos gives some here heartburn I just can't help myself from posting more and more of them. Also, they are representative of what all MSM outlets are reporting at this time.

They are reporting the facts and are the best way to push back against the fake news trolling that goes on here.

So here is another one concerning what Mueller is up to.
