Political Glance
The questions about what happened between Jan. 26 and Flynn's firing on Feb. 13 appear to relate to possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump, say two people familiar with Mueller's investigation into Russia's election meddling and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.
Focus on Flynn, Trump timeline suggests obstruction is on Mueller’s mind
Project Veritas' James O’Keefe’s Big-Money Donors Revealed
James O’Keefe, the conservative provocateur, has managed to make a host of enemies through his surreptitious video sting operations. Through the years, however, he’s managed to rely on a hodge podge of wealthy benefactors that range from prominent Republican donors, to obscure financial types, and even a songwriter who once composed melodies for Barbra Streisand and Christina Aguilera.
O’Keefe’s latest stunt involved a failed attempt to penetrate The Washington Post by having an operative pretend to be impregnated by Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore—a scheme designed to discredit others accusing Moore of sexual assault and misconduct. The effort garnered Project Veritas some bad press, but a look at the group’s tax filings from 2011 to 2013 suggests that O’Keefe does not have much to fear financially.
TVNL Comment: No big surprise. Big money from GOP donors has supported dirty political tricks for decades. O'Keefe is a low life liar. Money can't change that.
CNN: Email shows effort to give Trump campaign WikiLeaks documents
Candidate Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and others in the Trump Organization received an email in September 2016 offering a decryption key and website address for hacked WikiLeaks documents, according to an email provided to congressional investigators.
The September 4 email was sent during the final stretch of the 2016 presidential race -- on the same day that Trump Jr. first tweeted about WikiLeaks and Clinton.
"WIKILEAKS: Hillary Clinton Sent THOUSANDS of Classified Cables Marked "(C)" for Confidential," he tweeted, sharing a story from the Gateway Pundit, a conservative, pro-Trump website.
Flynn texted partners about nuclear plan during inauguration, whistleblower says
Congressional Democrats said Wednesday they have evidence from a confidential whistleblower that within minutes of President Donald Trump's inauguration, then-national security adviser Michael Flynn sent assurances to former business partners that a plan to build nuclear reactors across the Middle East was "good to go."
Democrats on the House oversight committee said in a letter dated Wednesday that the whistleblower reported attending an inauguration day event with Flynn's former business associate Alex Copson, the managing partner of ACU Strategic Partners.
Flynn pleads guilty to lying to FBI about conversations with Russia's ambassador
Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty Friday to "willfully and knowingly" making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" to the FBI about conversations with Russia's ambassador.
In court Friday morning, Flynn's only comments were to answer yes and no to questions from the judge.
He is the first official of President Donald Trump's campaign and the fourth connected to his campaign to be charged as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Russian government and members of Trump's team, as well as potential obstruction of justice and financial crimes.
TVNL Comments: This is the first card to fall in the fragile House of Trump. Flynn is the key to the whole Trump clan: Donald, Don Jr., Jared and Ivanka. Fun time ahead.
Psychiatrists warn about Trump's mental state
I am the editor of “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.” We represent a much larger number of concerned mental health professionals who have come forward to warn against the president's psychological instability and the dangers it poses. We now number in the thousands.
We are currently witnessing more than his usual state of instability — in fact, a pattern of decompensation: increasing loss of touch with reality, marked signs of volatility and unpredictable behavior, and an attraction to violence as a means of coping. These characteristics place our country and the world at extreme risk of danger.
Flynn's lawyers split from Trump, signaling possible cooperation with Mueller
Lawyers for Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, have told Trump’s legal team they can no longer discuss the probe by a special counsel, indicating Flynn may be cooperating with the investigation, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
Flynn’s lawyer and a spokesman for Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the Thanksgiving holiday. A representative for Trump’s legal team could not immediately be reached for comment.
