Lets Get Real:

Trump 47 has seen how far he can push the Republicans in the US Senate, Gaetz is one of the most hated men in the Congress and that is just the Republicans side of the House Chamber.  There must be a Republican who is loyal to Trump could pass the Senate, with just Republican votes, Trump 47 has seen his limits, he needs the Establishment to get his Agenda through the Congress.  The idea of mass Deportations will need Congressional support and money, Trump has cut his losses and must find a new AG nominee.  Trump 47 has to recall that he needs to keep the Senate after the 2026 Mid Terms, or his agenda will be dead on the Hill

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.32pm post the following, " Top Senate Democrat asks for Gaetz ethics report...Gaetz was the subject of an investigation over allegations of sexual misconduct, bribery and illicit drug use. He denies all the allegations.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is Trump 47 trying to see how far he can push the Republicans in the US Senate, well 4 of them vote against Gaetz or even ask tough questions, the Department of Justice were shocked and start to leak at once to CNN and the liberal media, is this the first fight that Trump wants, he still has to pull the plug on the Ukraine first, will the US Senate buy this, the President - Elect has a mandate for his agenda, as a candidate he made no secret of his plans. It will not be quiet first hundred days for Trump 47, he will hit the road hard and his way.  

Tulsi Gabbard another NAIL Ukraine's coffin - Russian Appeasement- Trump47

 Guardian reports in its 10.22am post that Tulsi Gabbard has been nominated for the post of Director of National Intelligence.

Lets Get Real:

Tulsi Gabbard blamed the Ukraine when Russia invaded, she will follow the Trump47 line, she is a former Democrat who talked to Assad of Syria, no friend of the US, a firm Russian pawn.  These latest moves by Trump47 shows he pushing the US Senate to bend to his will.  The Attorney General nomination is a joke or Trump47 has lost the plot.

No Classified Documents found at the Biden Beach Home - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " FBI finds NO documents in Biden's $2.7 million Rehoboth vacation home after three-and-a-half-hour search with White House under fire for lack of transparency "

Lets Get Real:

This is good news for the Biden Oval, CNN will be singing his praises and making it clear for the HUNDREDTH TIME that the cases of Biden and Trump are very different.  The ELITE LIBERAL media will not point out, that the documents that Biden had were with him for six years, and there is no way of knowing who saw the documents.  The problem for the Biden Oval is the fact that the real reporters have woken up, not the White House reporters, when did they last break a story, the runner in that make is CBS, what was CNN doing ALL THIS TIME, sleeping of course or having a go at TRUMP.  It will be up to the Special Counsel to decide if Biden broke law, and it will be up to the Attorney General to decide if either Trump or Biden are charged, the cases are different, that is not the point, either Trump and Biden or charged or neither are, that is the REAL WORLD.  If the Biden's Department of Justice tries to charge Trump and not Biden, all hell will break lose, even more real politic, by the time you have a trial, Trump could be back in the White House after 2024.  The poor Attorney General has a tough choice to make, THE LAW or keeping the US balanced, he can't have both. 

NO Visitor Logs for Biden Home - Fox News - Biden Era

Fox News: Reports " No visitor logs exist for Biden's Wilmington home, site of classified doc discovery, WH " counsel's office says  "

Lets Get Real:

This is either good luck or bad luck for POTUS depending on your perspective, on this one this blog would give Biden a pass, the house is his private residence, who takes logs on people going in and out of a private residence.  The Republicans will make hay out of this, they want to and create the impression that classified files were open to any can see, if the President's son Hunter Biden.  The Democrats are caught behind the 8ball, either they defend the President or they look weak by all coming to his defence.  One is sure the Special Counsel will be asking did the President know about the classified files in his own home, either no or yes are bad answer, if he didn't know, one must ask what does he know, or yes means that he broke the law.  This case is a get of jail card for Trump, does not matter how much the liberal elite media say that the cases are different, either charge both of them or cut bait, and that will be the decision of the US Attorney General.

The Russian Investigation - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " President Donald Trump's ex-lawyer has given substantial help on how Russian nationals tried to affect the 2016 election, a legal memo has revealed.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has no time for President Trump, it has been clear in that, but the latest information from the special prosecutor does not reach the level of impeachment, having deals with Russia is NOT A CRIME, the President has the right to say what he likes in public, if the special prosecutor is trying to make a case that the Twitter feed of POTUS is illegal the will be laughed out of town.   CNN is acting as if this is Watergate, they have given up being objective a long time ago.   The question is simple, will the Republicans in the House or Senate stop supporting Trump, the answer is NO, the Trump is base is to powerful.   The liberal elite media want to impeach Trump no matter what, the old hands in the Democratic Party will recall that the Republicans tried to impeach Bill Clinton only with Republican votes, the President was cleared by the Senate and the Republicans lost seats in the House.  The LIBERAL BASE might need feeding, but the Democrats have to think about 2020, they do not want to give the impression that their sole interest in getting at Trump.   The ONLY way that POTUS could come under threat is if he lied under oath, anything else is BS, so sad to see CNN go down the toilet. 

The New US Attorney General - Mid Terms Update 4 - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 8.15 post the following, " Last year, the new acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, wrote a CNN opinion piece arguing special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Trump “is going too far.”  "

Lets Get Real:

IF your the White House you must be thinking you have two months to ACT, the Democrats do not take over in till January, thus in that time Trump could sack the Special Prosecutor, close down the Russian investigation, and dare the Democrats to impeach him, let us recall that the Republicans control the Senate, there will be no impeachment.   If the Oval Office was very ruthless and smart, it would act now, the Democrats will go through the roof but they can not do anything for a while, while the Republican can be expected to go along.   The Republican Party is now the Party of Donald Trump, and he gets Republicans elected to the Senate. 

Sessions Update - Mid Terms Update 3 - Trump Era

Sky News - Live Reporting: Reports in its 8.01pm post the resignation letter of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the letter states the following, " At your request, I am submitting my resignation. "

Lets Get Real:

The Oval Office must know be tempted to sack the Special Prosecutor, the Republicans hold the Senate, one doubts that ANY will actually defend the Special Prosecutor, also they know that the Republican Party is know the Trump Party, they will be looking forward to their own re-election.   The two Republican moderates in the Senate will have less power as the Republicans have increased their number, it could lead to an interesting clash between the House and Senate.   It will be interesting to watch the moves of POTUS over the next few days. 

POTUS on the Mid Terms - Update 2 - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has hailed "tremendous success" in the mid-term elections after a night of mixed results for his Republican party...The Republicans are on course to increase their representation from 51 to 54 in the 100-seat Senate upper chamber.  "

Lets Get Real:

The President was as combative as ever, having a go at the liberal press, that will go down well with the Republican base.   The base will be overjoyed that the Republicans have kept the Senate, they can carry on to appoint Conservative Judges, and could get another Supreme Court pick.   The Attorney General Jeff Sessions has already gotten the CHOP, then POTUS will pick a AG who will do as he is told when it comes to the Special Prosecutor.    The President can be expected to move to foreign policy in his last two years of the first term, the Democrats will block his domestic agenda, on the international front the Oval Office has more power.    On the Democratic side it will be interesting to see how new Speaker Pelosi deals with the fact that her hard liberal base will want to impeach Trump while those just elected will be looking at 2020, they will want to show that they have done something for two years, just going after Trump will not cut it in moderate States.   Thus we shall see how good a deal maker POTUS  is when faced with a divided government. 

Sessions on the Attack - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has responded to Donald Trump's latest attack on him by insisting that the justice department he heads will not bend to political pressure. "

Lets Get Real:

It is about time that the US Attorney General went toe to toe with the Oval Office, POTUS spends most of his days being critical of Sessions and the US Justice Department.   It can be argued that Sessions has kept his honour while Trump has debased the Office of the Presidency.   If Trump wants to fire Sessions he has the power, then he should do it, if POTUS wants to be the strong man he should ACT, fire Sessions, finish the Russian investigation and see what happens afterwards. 

Trump and the MEMO - Update 2 - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " 'The President is ok with it': Trump will order release of explosive memo TODAY alleging surveillance abuses by the FBI in Russia probe despite agency's 'grave concerns'  "

Lets Get Real:

J. Edgar Hoover will be turning in his grave IF the above true, only he was allowed to abuse his position of power.   The most important words above is, IF, the FBI and the Trump Justice Department do not want the memo released.   This blog on the whole supports the National Security view of the Department and the Agency, one doubts that the FBI really want to bring down Trump, it might be Trump who brings himself down by his own actions.  The Special Prosecutor is looking at a case of Obstruction of Justice, the firing of the Director of the FBI, making sure that the acting head was a supporter, also covering up the real reason for the Russian meeting at the Trump Tower.   It can be argued that Trump has given the sword to Mueller, it is a question of will it be used on Trump. 

Trump and that MEMO - Trump Era

Sky News: Reports " The President is set to allow the release of a memo that apparently alleges FBI misconduct in its inquiry into his campaign. "

Lets Get Real:

CNN has been building up the speed when it comes to the MEMO, they seem to have forgotten that CNN stands for NEWS, they have a built a case for not releasing this memo, what other news outlet would do that , Anderson Cooper has been nightly on the negative side of the release of this memo, CNN is so in the tank for the Democrats that it can not see the wood from the trees.   It has been suggested that Trump will sack the Special Prosecutor after the release of the MEMO, well why not, it can be argued that the SP has not reached the goal of getting Trump.  The MEMO will be released later today, in  less Trump changes his mind. 

The Mueller Probe - The US Attorney General Interviewed - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US Attorney General Jeff Sessions was questioned by investigators examining whether Russia colluded with the Trump campaign in the 2016 election.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Mueller Probe is buildings its blocks for a charge against President Trump, the charge will be Obstruction of Justice for the firing of the FBI Director who was looking at the Russian actions during the 2016 election.   It is only a matter of time before POTUS is asked to answer questions from the Special Prosecutor.   The Trump Oval must be worried what Sessions said to the probe, the Oval has been highly critical of Jeff Sessions in the past, those tweets of Trump could come back to bite him on the backside.   The probe is closing in on Trump. 

The HEAT on the Trump White House - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " The special counsel investigating claims of Russian meddling in the US election has begun using a grand jury in Washington, reports say. "

Lets Get Real:

IF POTUS is going to end the Russian investigation this is the time, he could move AG Sessions from Justice to Homeland Security, as he has made General Kelly his Chief of Staff.   Then during the August recess he could appoint his own AG and that AG could fire the Deputy AG and the Special Prosecutor.   Of course the Democrats will call for impeachment, this will be backed by the liberal press, if the Republican base stays with Trump it will be hard for Hill Republicans to follow the mainstream press view, thus this is the perfect time for action by POTUS if he wants to take action. 

AG Sessions on the way OUT ? - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " The White House says it will reach a decision "soon" on US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has been publicly humiliated by President Donald Trump. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus POTUS wants AG Sessions either to resign or they will fire him, once the Congress goes in to recess the President can appoint man or woman who will stall the Special Prosecutor.   One can see the logic, a new AG who is loyal to Trump will make sure the SP does not go in to Trump's financial records to see if he has any links with Russia.  Of course the Democrats will have a furious reaction, but they do not control the Congress, the 2018 Mid Terms could be about Impeaching the President. 

POTUS and the US Attorney General - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " Trump wants Sessions gone. But he doesn't want to swing the proverbial sword. He wants to make Sessions' life so uncomfortable that Sessions throws up his hands and walks away. "

Lets Get Real:

This could be POTUS being sneaky, he wants the AG to go but does not want to be seen as a hatched man, the idea one can postulate is that POTUS wants the AG to get fed up and leave, then POTUS would hire a new Attorney General, one who would run the Russian investigation and keep the Oval Office informed of any developments.  The Democrats have a problem, they have complained that the AG did not inform them of ALL his Russian meetings, on the other hand they do not want to allow POTUS to chose a new AG.   The Democrats still have not got a a smoking gun over Russia, and if they place too much pressure on the AG they could be helping POTUS.   This is a reality show on the big stage, and Trump is the Master of that form. 

Trump vs. AG Sessions - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Jeff Sessions says he'll keep job 'as long as appropriate' despite Trump's criticism..Attorney general speaks after Donald Trump’s comments that he would not have hired Sessions had he known Sessions would recuse himself from Russia inquiry "

Lets Get Real:

The US AG can not be sacked by President Trump as this would unite Republicans and Democrats in calls to impeach the President.  It was reported on the news last night that Sessions had offered to resign many times but that POTUS has refused the resignation.   The Oval might be minded to have Sessions sack his Deputy and the special consul, would Sessions follow such an order to get back in to the good books of the Oval Office.   A Pence Administration looks like the outcome, Trump will not give way when it comes to Russia, either he is a political fool or the Russians have something on him, either way it hurts the US.   These investigations could go on for years. 

Sessions Recuses himself from Russian Connections Scandal - Trump Era

The Hill: Reports " Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Thursday he will recuse himself from federal investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats are creating a New Cold War 2, no one is Washington on the political side will want to talk to the Russian Ambassador.   The Democrats have suddenly become hawks, a Russian connection to the 2016 vote has not been proven.   Of course the Russians hacked the DNC and the Clinton Camp, no one is debating that, the point is that there is no proof that the Russian action changed one vote.   The Democrats are furious with the 2016 vote, they were supposed to WIN, the fact they lost and why has been lost in the shouts that it was the fault of the Russians.   The is NO proof that the Russians hacked the voting system, even the Democrats are not stating that, but when there is a crisis between the US and Russia, the doves in the Democratic Party have created a monster, the hawks will win as they will be afraid of the present reaction.

The President, Congress and AG Sessions - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " Several Republicans, many of them increasingly uneasy about the implications of the evolving Russian drama, Thursday called on Sessions to recuse himself from any involvement in an FBI probe into ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow. "

Lets Get Real:

The President is standing by Sessions, the Republicans calling for the AG to recuse himself should get a backbone, AG Sessions has stated that he will recuse himself at the right time, otherwise you have the elite press controlling what the AG looks at and what he passes to his deputy.   The Democrats want a Special Prosecutor so they can fish for any damaging information on Donald Trump and the Administration.   The President should whip the Republicans in the House and the Senate to be firm, the US voter does not care about this kind of process, its a witch hunt, it shows how low the Democrats have gotten, think if the the shoe was on the other foot, they Dems would be saying it was unfair RED scare, it's just politics at the end of the day.

Sessions and the Democrats, Attack FLOPS - Trump Era

Fox News: Reporting the following on the Jeff Sessions scandal, " His defenders say such meetings between senators and diplomats were routine. And Sessions even got an inadvertent boost from Democratic Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who in demanding the AG's resignation initially claimed she never called or met with Russia's ambassador -- only for tweets to surface indicating she had, at least twice.  "

Lets Get Real:

As usual the Democrats jump the gun and do not check their facts, a Democratic Senator tweeted she had never meet the Russian Ambassador only for there to be tweets were she says she is going to meet the Russian Ambassador.   The elite press and the Democrats have such an dislike of Trump that they do not care about the FACTS, and what is actually illegal, they are on a witch hunt, someday the shoe will be on the other foot, let's see how the Democrats react when they are under a witch hunt, of course that will not happen as the press are liberal and is full of fake news.
