President Trump wanted Attorney General William P. Barr to hold a news conference declaring that the commander in chief had broken no laws during a phone call in which he pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate a political rival, though Barr ultimately declined to do so, people familiar with the matter said.
The request from Trump traveled from the president to other White House officials and eventually to the Justice Department. The president has mentioned Barr’s declination to associates in recent weeks, saying he wished Barr would have held the news conference, Trump advisers say.
Hey guys, sorry I'm a bit late to the party on this, but just had a thought about the orange toad's hasty move to Florida. Is he moving there to make it harder for the state of NY to investigate/indict him once he is out of office? Would NY depend on FL extraditing him to face justice? I can see FL refusing to do so in order to protect him.

Making Florida his residence will not save Trump from any tax civil lawsuits, criminal charges or from paying past taxes he owes in New York. So long as Trump has substantial income from New York he will have to file a non-resident state tax form. He likely will also have to file in Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois and California, among other states where he has businesses.
That’s what makes his Oct, 31 tweets so intriguing. Making Florida his primary residence will have minor effects on lowering whatever taxes Trump may owe, so why bring it up?
I wonder if it may be that if he claims Mar-a-Lago as his primary residence (a place too fine for him to begin with, but he turned it to trash as is his tawdry talent), the government can’t seize it when they come collecting his unpaid taxes. He doesn’t pay taxes, so he probably felt safe from his tax hike on NYC when he and Ryan passed a draconian tax bill. I don’t know if you can claim a club business as a residence, but he might do better to keep a place a little further from the shore considering all the damage he is doing to our beautiful planet.
Speaking if taxes, we haven’t seen the taxes the Republicans put on the rest of us, yet. We will really notice it in the next couple of years. They thought it best to wait for our tax jump to start after the next election but long after the tax breaks for the obscenely rich have already made our bill astronomical.
Matt Gaetz Donald Jr. and the Russians have tweeted out a name as the whistleblower. Fox News anchors were told NOT to mention the name unless Trump or one of his cronies says it first. The other news stations will not acknowledge the tweets.
I’m sending light to those who are doing the right thing to protect the country and the rule of law - especially the whistle blowers, those who are testifying and the jurors in the Roger Stone trial (who I saw are at risk of being named by Alex Jones and his ilk according to the Daily Beast).
On another note, I was reading a book and suddenly had a mental picture of Steve Bannon and heard a jail door slamming shut. I got the feeling that something is going to come out about what he was up to during the election or his time in government that will put him in legal jeopardy - not today or tomorrow, but it’s coming. I heard earlier today that he is a witness for the prosecution in the Stone trial. Maybe it will have something to do with that?
- Maybe this is a sign of things to come:
On Wednesday night, as President Trump was speaking at a rally in Monroe, Louisiana, people started walking out.
Maybe the crowd had had enough of Trump’s ramblings?
I guess 2 hrs was enough or they only got paid for 2 hrs? No overtime

I want to second your thought and your actions and send light to all those heroes as well as those working hard to bring progressive people into the Senate and House.
Lawyer for Ukraine whistleblower sends White House cease and desist letter to stop Trump's attacks
there are now more than 10,000 children in cages in America. 10,000 children who have been separated from their families. We may just have to go, en masse, to the concentration camps, and forcibly release them ourselves. If we allow this to continue, then i am afraid we, ourselves, are not worth saving. This cannot stand!
