Good morning, Gran. You are welcome. Sure is crazy weather.
I’m glad that finally draining the swamp is going to be seriously taken.
Also this article points out that the latest Russia is helping Trump is NOT exactly factual.
“Virgil: Trump Drains the Deep State, Finally!”
FTA:Interesting new headline from Axios: New White House personnel chief tells Cabinet liaisons to target Never Trumpers. The article details the efforts of John McEntee, just chosen by President Trump to be the new chief of presidential personnel, to target disloyal people within the administration.
And just on February 20, Joseph Maguire, acting director of the Office of National Intelligence (ONI) was forced out, in the wake of dubiously reported stories trickling out of Capitol Hill, seeming to indicate that an ONI staffer, Shelby Pierson, had said in a classified briefing that the Russians were looking to help the Trump campaign this year. In other words, if the reports are correct, the whole issue of collusion is back in playand the Democrats will be sure to make the most of it.
In fact, its not at all clear what was said, or not said. Even ABC Newss Jake Tapper had to admit, in a string of tweets on February 21, that there might be nothing there:
Whats been articulated in the news is that the intelligence community has concluded that the Russians are trying to help Trump again. But the intelligence doesnt say that, the official says . . . The problem is Shelby Pierson, the elections threats executive in the intelligence community said they developed a preference for Trump. A more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, its a step short of that . . . Its more that they understand the president is someone they can work with, hes a dealmaker. But not that they prefer him over Sanders or Buttigieg or anyone else. So it may have been mischaracterized by Shelby at the House Intel briefing last week.
In other words, the whole report that the Russians were plotting to help Trump in 2020 could be nothing more than just the usual fake news.
