Let the VP deny it all he wants but the word Lodestar is all the navigational reference we need to point our fingers at Mike Pence. He was secretly trying to reassure his Republican colleagues that things are under control in the White House, even If Trump isn’t in control of all of his faculties
Actor malfunction. Trump needs to do a better job of vetting his paid performers. Several People Behind Trump Were Removed, Replaced During Rally In Montana One particularly expressive man was replaced by a woman who some people on Twitter said looked like Zina Bash.

I'm starting to wonder if the Trump people put this story out into the NYT to get a reason to enrage all the Trump supporters before the November elections. They are always talking "False Flag Operations" on their radio talk shows, aren't they?
except that I heard an interview with NYT editor who talked to the leaker. I think it's pence, but there is one other person who might be culpable, Kelly Anne Conway's husband. He is known to dislike trump. She may have inadvertently spilled the beans to him.
https://itsgoingdown.org/the-white-nationalists-that-no-one-protested/ "...over the last month, DC has been rocked by news of successive firings after it came to light that a Trump speech writer, a DHS agent, and respected conservative journalist and author at Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller, all had clear connections, relationships, and interacted with, the white nationalist Alt-Right. Many have also noted how white nationalist talking points and conspiracy theories such as the idea that black South Africans freed from Apartheid are waging a campaign of genocide against white Boer farmers, has been picked up by the likes of Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump. Thus, while the Alt-Right may have left the street, they still have a sizable influence within government and established “conservative” circles, even if this reality continues to remain an embarrassment, when brought to light. But when we do look closely at those within the White House who have a history of connections to the Alt-Right, who have championed their talking points, and also those who have been removed over the years due to a connection, we find a clear pattern; a relationship and an affinity with a small set of white nationalist and anti-immigrant groups and think tanks, largely centered around the Federation for American Immigration Reform, (FAIR), and its associate acts, Center for Immigration Studies, (CIS) and NumbersUSA. While Donald Trump, Jr might have followed white nationalists like Ricky Vaughn on Twitter, the Trump administration was putting the policy suggestions of FAIR – into practice and into law. Meanwhile, people like Stephen Miller even openly dream of rolling back the racial clock to before 1965, when the ‘algorithms’ of non-white immigration were altered."
1.) there is no such crime as ‘collusion’. 2.) the Russian collusion was by Clinton campaign and the FBI. (See Bruce Ohr and the completely fictitious Steele dossier the DOJ used to request the extremely invasive FISA warrants to spy on political opponents.) There is much to be played out. McCabe case is now before a grand jury.
Another take on this is that Trump put the story out to sucker in the NYT so he could have another reason to fire Sessions? He's already calling on Sessions to find the writer, and turn him over. Well, if Sessions answers back that the writer is protected by the First Amendment, then Trump will use the matter against him. And keep in mind Trump has demonstrated that he likes power and cruelty.
FISA warrants are not dished out like Big Macs. They are studied by a judge and approved before having the FORCE OF LAW behind them. John Dean just gave an interesting speech before the Senate today. He knows exactly how Nixon defied the law.
(1) there is such crime as federal conspiracy.U.S. Code Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 19 › § 371:"If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both". It's a felony.A conspiracy occurs when two or more persons agree to work together to commit an illegal act. "A conspiracy may exist when the parties use legal means to accomplish an illegal result, or to use illegal means to achieve something that in itself is lawful".Legal Dictionary - Law.com If Donald Trump Jr. sought “dirt” from the Russians on Hillary Clinton from the Russians, he might be charged with conspiring to violate the Federal Election Law,, which prohibits foreign nationals from contributing any “thing of value” to an electoral campaign. And to the extent that the Trump campaign aiding or abetting the Russians about what to steal from the Democrats or how to put it to maximum use, they may have violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. So there! (2) The Steele dossier conspiracy is a right wing pipedream. As has been mentioned, FISA warrants are given after thorough review of the evidence for probable cause.
Trump's FDA appointee just gave a Billionaire who produced OXYCONTIN a new patent to wean people addicted to OXYCONTIN off the drug??? Talk about cronyism!
