Former CIA Director James Woolsey dined with President Donald Trump last weekend at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida — where, a report said, they had a "lengthy conversation" at the main dining table surrounded by several of Trump's friends, associates, and political allies.
A tipster told Politico's Playbook about the conversation, which raised eyebrows given Woolsey's centrality to the special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser.
Woolsey, who served on the board of Flynn's lobbying firm, Flynn Intel Group, was at a meeting on September 19, 2016, with Flynn and Turkish government ministers in which they discussed removing the controversial Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen from US soil, Woolsey has said.
Woolsey apparently notified Vice President Joe Biden through a mutual friend about the meeting, which he thought could have been an illegal discussion, Woolsey's spokesman, Jonathan Franks, said earlier this year.
Franks confirmed late last month that Mueller's team had interviewed Woolsey about the meeting. He said Woolsey and his wife had been in touch with the FBI since before Mueller began overseeing the bureau's Russia investigation in May.
I think there can be no doubt that Trump is attempting to either glean information about the investigation, or find a way to undermine it.
And that is something that a former CIA Director would surely see coming.
So why would be go?
Hmm, I wonder if Trump had him searched for a wire?

"“It is not clear how thoroughly FEMA investigated Bronze Star or its ability to fulfill the contracts,” writes the AP. “Formed by two brothers in August, Bronze Star had never before WON a government contract or delivered tarps or plastic sheeting.”
In total, the AP found that the amount of money awarded to Bronze Star represented 35 percent of the federal money that so far as been awarded to companies that supply tents and tarps.""The supplies were never delivered, however, and FEMA terminated the firm’s contract without paying it any money."
"“We were trying to help; it wasn’t about making money or anything like that,”“The award of a government contract to a company with absolutely no experience in producing the materials sought obviously raises very bright red flags,”
"“My brother and I, we are both veterans, so we just came up with a name to do business,” Kayon Jones said. “We’re not saying we have a Bronze Star or anything.”

Trump on North Korean missile launch: 'We will take care of it'
ReplyDeletePresident Donald Trump on Tuesday responded to the latest North Korean missile launch, saying, "I will only tell you that we will take care of it," and that the launch was "a situation that we will handle." Trump gave no details on precisely what he meant by this.
Hahaha it occurred to you that it is because he does not know? Dumbass Donny.
DeleteOT - Want to give your children nightmares and make them dread the approach of Christmas? Just bring them to the White House and walk them down the hallway that Melania decorated.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought the picture was a joke but, shockingly, it's a real photo tweeted by the Melania's Director of Communications. So much for a warm, festive atmosphere in the White House!

And so it begins...
DeleteHopefully, he went to counsel Trump on resigning and impeachment. Perhaps setting out all of the ways it could go like Keith Olbermann did in his last The Resistance #147.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he went to tell Trump what his options were and the ones that would result in the least chance of criminal prosecution, the most profit and the most face saving.
“Don’t wait for them to impeach you or invoke 25. YOU choose to go on your own. But make sure you cut a deal that includes no criminal prosecution.”
No deals except he can keep his Twitter account but steps down and pays back ALL the taxpayer money he swindled
