OMG

       I just heard this morning that Putin has made a statement that he would provide the proof of the meeting between Trump and the Russian Ambassador. Well, of course he could. The Russians were the only news media present in the room except for Trump and the two Russians. But what does it say that the Russian president is ready to stand up for the United States president?
       Now add that to the Firing of Comey after asking him to stop investigating one of his favored staff which he later had to fire anyway. And why did he have to fire Comey? Because of the nasty way he treated Hillary. Really?
       Now the president has the right to declassify any information he chooses. And he has the right to share any information he wishes with anyone he wishes. But to Russia? The thing is this information came from an ally as highly classified. Didn't he have the responsibility to clear it with that ally before sharing it with the Russians? Obviously Trump didn't think so.
       Then consider Jeff Sessions taking part in selecting the next FBI head. Jeff Sessions, who was caught lying to Congress about having any communications with Russia, who had to recuse himself from having any part in the FBI investigations into the Russia/Trump campaign. Now he's taking part in the selection process to choose the person who will lead that same investigation.
       Does any of this seem to have a bad odor to you? Are you concerned that any of this is costing us any of our freedoms or rights, or do you think this is a proper way to run a government? It's not as though they're setting up any death camps, but it does seem to me that no matter what, the leadership of Congress seems willing to go along to get along. Except that they can't accomplish anything because the president won't allow anything to happen except the next fiasco.
