Didn’t President Trump sign an executive order saying administration officials were banned from lobbying for a foreign government for life?
Yes, he did that as well. Trump has to be taken at his word. Wasn’t Flynn listening at the rallies? He lobbied and concealed it by not filing, if Brett Baier is to be believed.
FYI
Ha—every time I hear Pence speak I think, “I don’t trust this guy.”
Ha—you’re both right. Jones seems to be something of a wacky conspiracy theorist and all-around wild guy. AND he has been plugged in all through this election cycle with Roger Stone as a regular guest/host, Trump apparently watching and calling in to speak to Jones primarily off-air at times, etc.
Jerome Corsi is a very good Washington correspondent who apparently has like Stone been good friends with Trump for decades. Good Trump friend Chris Ruddy shows up from time to time reporting on what Trump has told him on weekends down at Mar-a-Lago. Steve Pieczenik’s claims seem to have had some grounding in explaining the Deep State battles around Trump too. Rand Paul, for example, was on with a long interview this week talking at length about the problems with the ObamaCare replacement bill.
I first saw the show via a video of when Drudge surprised him on set in 2015, telling Jones that a SC Justice had warned him that the guv was planning to come after Drudge, Jones, and the alternative right media in general after the 2016 election. And even though they don’t have the presidency to work from, they of course started to put the squeeze on with the claim of “fake news”, then the big social media companies starting with their own soft censorship via “fact checking” and various other throttles on their news and advertising feeds, etc.
So yes, it seems crazy to tune into something of a fringy/unhingy guy like Jones—and then his show has shed more light on this whole election cycle and early presidency than have most MSM news outlets, in its own bizarre way.
And the more stuff like the Wikileaks dump of this week comes out, the harder it is to dismiss all of the conspiracy stuff as all wrong.
Can’t speak to 9-11, but I have seen things over the last 6 years that left me thinking conspiracy freak is not as much an epithet as I used to just blindly assume. Things are really bizarre, and I think Trump knows and is open to anything too, hence the embrace of Jones. Even if he is wrong on 9-11, he still serves God’s purpose in other ways.
He should have known if Flynn’s lawyers are to be believed when they say Trump’s team was informed before the transition. It should all be fairly easy to sort out once the facts are known.
Yeah, but look at this—this was apparently disclosed to the transition team, headed up by, ahem, Pence, by Flynn’s attorney, before he was named NSA.
And here is another method by which Pence would have known about this back in November:
Yet, here is Pence claiming he just heard about that this week:

I don’t trust Pence for a minute, and my guess is that Trump knows enough not to trust him either. (You never see him in on key discussions with senior aides.)
