Donald Trump claims that he is the subject of a witch hunt, while yet more evidence surfaces to prove that is not the fact.


Jesus somebody call the Whambulance.

Unfortunately for Trump our great journalists, who are certainly NOT conducting a witch hunt, have discovered even more evidence which supports an investigation into the Trump campaign's interactions with Russian operatives.

Courtesy of Reuters:  

Michael Flynn and other advisers to Donald Trump’s campaign were in contact with Russian officials and others with Kremlin ties in at least 18 calls and emails during the last seven months of the 2016 presidential race, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the exchanges told Reuters. 

The previously undisclosed interactions form part of the record now being reviewed by FBI and congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election and contacts between Trump’s campaign and Russia. 

Six of the previously undisclosed contacts described to Reuters were phone calls between Sergei Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States, and Trump advisers, including Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, three current and former officials said. 

Conversations between Flynn and Kislyak accelerated after the Nov. 8 vote as the two discussed establishing a back channel for communication between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that could bypass the U.S. national security bureaucracy, which both sides considered hostile to improved relations, four current U.S. officials said.

Well THAT'S pretty damning.

But wait, there's more.

Courtesy of the New York Times:  

Michael T. Flynn told President Trump’s transition team weeks before the inauguration that he was under federal investigation for secretly working as a paid lobbyist for Turkey during the campaign, according to two people familiar with the case. 

Despite this warning, which came about a month after the Justice Department notified Mr. Flynn of the inquiry, Mr. Trump made Mr. Flynn his national security adviser. The job gave Mr. Flynn access to the president and nearly every secret held by American intelligence agencies.

So the Trump camp knew that Flynn was under federal investigation and they STILL gave him one of he most sensitive jobs in government.

 WTF?

And yet there is even more.

Courtesy of McClatchy: 

One of the Trump administration’s first decisions about the fight against the Islamic State was made by Michael Flynn weeks before he was fired – and it conformed to the wishes of Turkey, whose interests, unbeknownst to anyone in Washington, he’d been paid more than $500,000 to represent. 

The decision came 10 days before Donald Trump had been sworn in as president, in a conversation with President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, who had explained the Pentagon’s plan to retake the Islamic State’s de facto capital of Raqqa with Syrian Kurdish forces whom the Pentagon considered the U.S.’s most effective military partners. Obama’s national security team had decided to ask for Trump’s sign-off, since the plan would all but certainly be executed after Trump had become president. 

Flynn didn’t hesitate. According to timelines distributed by members of Congress in the weeks since, Flynn told Rice to hold off, a move that would delay the military operation for months.

So Michael Flynn helped to shape US policy toward Turkey, while being paid by Turkey to help shape US policy. 

Do I have that right?

You know during the Salem witch hunts the magistrates used manufactured "evidence" to convict, sentence, and execute innocent people of crimes they were not guilty of committing.

This, this, is the exact opposite of what happened back then.

      Give Drumpf his due. He came this close ('holding two hands about 5 feet apart') to proving Obama was born in Kenya.

      Drumpf misunderstands a lot, tho. When he hears people call him - frequently - "a huge fucking dick and an insufferable asshole" he thinks someone is admiring his genitals. But there's literally nothing about this bloated sack of decomposing narcissism and sulfurous resentment that's worth admiring.

    FAT BOY TOO HEAVY FOR CABLE CAR?

    Newsweek-
    TRUMP CANCELS VISIT TO ANCIENT MASADA SITE AFTER ISRAEL REFUSES HELICOPTER LANDING

    President Donald Trump has canceled a planned visit and speech at the ancient mountain fortress of Masada in Israel after authorities told him that he could not land his helicopter on top of the UNESCO-listed site.

    Instead, Trump will now deliver a speech at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. It comes after an Israeli Air Force (IAF) regulation that prevents helicopters landing at the summit of the Masada site, according to Israel’s Channel 2 broadcaster....

    Unlike former presidents who have made the trip, such as George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, Trump declined to land the helicopter at a base of the historic site and then take the cable car up, preferring to cancel the visit altogether....

    WILL TRUMP LOSE WEIGHT ON HIS OVERSEAS TRIP?

    WILL TRUMP EAT ROASTED CAMEL?

    NEWSWEEK

    TRUMP'S OVERSEAS TRIP: WHAT FOOD WILL THE PICKY PRESIDENT EAT?

    President Donald Trump eats like a 6-foot-plus, 240-pound petulant child—if that irritable youngster had the ability to push a buttonand make a lackey fetch a Coke.

    He's set to embark on his first official trip overseas Friday, with pit stops in Saudi Arabia, Israel, Belgium, Italy and the Vatican—something he's reportedly pouting about, huffing and puffing that the nine-day excursion is far too long. Worse yet: None of the places he's visiting have a Trump-branded hotel with workers that are duty-bound and practiced at serving him his favorite meals

    A quick rundown of a few things we know about Trump's dietary habits:

    - He likes his $54 dry-aged steakcharred into beef bricks so well-done they clank and rattle the plate. A healthy slather of ketchup serves as the finishing touch.

    - Trump is a noted lover of fast food: McDonald's burgers and Kentucky Fried Chicken are staples. "A 'fish delight,' sometimes, right?"

    -Trump is a notorious germophobe—he admitted as much in an effort to shut down rumors of a video that reputedly showed that he paid Russian prostitutes to urinate on a hotel bed in 2013....

    That in mind, this trip is going to be a nightmare for Trump's stomach. While some might consider trying other cultures' foods a valuable and exciting experience, the president is a man of routine who is about to lose control over his meal plan. He's scheduled to attend a banquet dinner in Saudi Arabia, a private dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a working lunch with new French President Emmanuel Macron, a dinner with NATO leaders and finally a meal with Italian President Sergio Mattarella.

    It's unlikely McDonald's hamburgers are on the menu (although Saudi Arabia, Israel, Belgium and Italy do all feature locations of the burger joint). Netanyahu is a noted regular at a falafel joint, for instance, ordering his sandwich with a healthy dollop of hummus and "strongly spicy" hot sauce. Of the top five authentic Israeli dishes listed off by The Jerusalem Post, only the kebab—a meat patty and Middle Eastern burger of sorts—looks anything like what Trump eats on a regular basis. 

    Saudi Arabia could be even more troubling for the former reality star. The U.K.'s Prince Charleswas once served a whole, skinned and roasted camel—a delicacy—by Saudi royalty at a banquet in a show of appreciation. Not exactly meat loaf (another Trump favorite).

    Newsweek
    President Donald Trump has canceled a planned visit and speech at the ancient mountain fortress of Masada because he has to take a cable car to the site.

    Other presidents rode the cable car....

    News of the president’s cancellation stirred reactions among observers of the American-Israeli relationship and officials inside the country. “Well Masada was too hot, so we found a great spot instead for POTUS,” Eitan Weiss, deputy spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Ministry tweeted, appearing to mock the reason for the cancellation. “@IsraelMuseum. The Dead Sea Scrolls make an important setting.”...

    Discussions between U.S. and Israeli security services prior to Trump’s inauguration on January 20 gave rise to concerns that sensitive intelligence might exchange hands between him and the Russian government, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported in January....

    Toby Keith Is Joining Trump In Saudi Arabia For A Men-Only Concert
    The country singer will perform at a free, men-only concert Saturday in the capital city of Riyadh alongside Saudi singer Rabeh Saqer, The Associated Press reported.
    Some on Twitter were a bit perplexed by the selection of an musician known for songs like “I Love This Bar,” “Drunk Americans” and “I Like Girls That Drink Beer.” In Saudi Arabia, alcohol is banned and unrelated men and women are kept separate in public, in accordance with strict Islamic law.
