Two red districts in Oklahoma, one created in the 90s, one in 2010, never held by a Dem just got flipped.

Vice News did a nice piece on the Mueller investigative team. Bottom line is that they are the the Dream Team and on Trump's side he has no one who compares at all to even one member of the Mueller squad.

Right or left, its a once in a generation chance to get carte blanche to potentially go after a sitting President. You'd basically be an idiot to not take it if Mueller called.

By the way, the Donnie Junior poo poo infected the White House too. They were responsible for his first bullshit statement: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/11/...WT.nav=top-news

quote:

As Air Force One jetted back from Europe on Saturday, a small cadre of Mr. Trump’s advisers huddled in a cabin helping to craft a statement for the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., to give to The New York Times explaining why he met last summer with a lawyer connected to the Russian government. Participants on the plane and back in the United States debated how transparent to be in the statement, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Ultimately, the people said, the president signed off on a statement from Donald Trump Jr. for The Times that was so incomplete that it required day after day of follow-up statements, each more revealing than the last. It culminated on Tuesday with a release of emails making clear that Mr. Trump’s son believed the Russian lawyer was seeking to meet with him to provide incriminating information about Hillary Clinton as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

Meanwhile, three of the sources tell the truth and three of the sources tell only lies.

quote:

Inside Mr. Trump’s team, the response to the developments has become a subject of intense dispute. Three people familiar with his son’s account said he pushed to offer a full explanation on Saturday when first contacted by The Times about the meeting, and said he agitated to be allowed to defend himself publicly. But three other people involved in the discussions offered a completely contrary version of events, insisting that the younger Mr. Trump adamantly resisted an expansive disclosure.

Either they knew and are just bullshitting to try and obscure where and what the investigation is working on to prevent Trump from knowing. Or they are working on a completely different path and just haven't got around to this yet.

They are rear end deep into all the shady Russian real estate deals and banking fuckery. That may be so much poo poo that it's consuming all of their resources.

If it's any consolation, it probably freaked Trump out, too.
Interestingly, I'd imagine his narcissism provided the framework to process it pretty quickly.

I didn't watch Hannity but the general spin take from DJTJR's camp is so far:

-It's politics and if you hear you could get good info and no one said they got it illegally etc, why not at least sit down to talk about it?
-Russian hacking and meddling wasn't public knowledge at the time of the meeting, so this isn't collusion with any criminal act
-No info ended up being passed anyway
-In hindsight I might have done things differently, but nothing criminal occurred

Russian lawyer angle: I don't know what anyone's talking about I'm just a lobbyist I've never even heard of this kremlin or gremlin or whatever

I think I saw this part in a clip that was advertising the interview sometime yesterday. Maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't Hillary say pretty much this exact same thing about her emails or Benghazi? Is time really that much of a flat circle?

China has dispatched troops to Djibouti in advance of formally establishing the country's first overseas military base.

Two Chinese Navy warships left the port of Zhanjiang on Tuesday, taking an undisclosed number of military personnel on the journey across the Indian Ocean.
An editorial Wednesday in the state-run Global Times stressed the importance of the new Djibouti facility -- in the strategically located Horn of Africa -- to the Chinese military.
"Certainly this is the People's Liberation Army's first overseas base and we will base troops there. It's not a commercial resupply point... This base can support Chinese Navy to go farther, so it means a lot," said the paper.
The Global Times said the main role of the base would be to support Chinese warships operating in the region in anti-piracy and humanitarian operations.
"It's not about seeking to control the world," said the editorial.
