What do you bet that, continuing in his pattern of being so un-transparent, Trump refuses to release his medical records. Still waiting on the taxes. (“If I decide to run for office, I’ll produce my tax returns, absolutely. And I would love to do that" - LIAR)<br /><br />And don't forget reversing the Obama decision to make visitor logs to the White House public record. I guess this is to be expected from a Swamp Monster.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-20844475156257188152017-12-08T09:03:13.421-05:002017-12-08T09:03:13.421-05:00Mr. McLaughlin, did you read the memo Rod Rosenste...Mr. McLaughlin, did you read the memo Rod Rosenstein wrote that appoints the Special Counsel and delineats the scope of the investigation? Rosenstein wrote the Special Counsel is to investigate “(i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and (ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and (iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R.” It seems like this is broad enough to include the transition team if that's where the evidence takes them. If the Special Counsel shouldn't be investigating the transition team, is Ty Cobb – Trump's lawyer – doing anything about that, or does he accept the transition team can be lawfully investigated?

All have fallen short of the Glory of God and the penalty of sin is death. This is no excuse for heinous sin but when it is said that the Church is full of hypocrites the best answer is YES, but we have room for one more so you should come. Jesus whom needed no Savior because he was perfect, sinless and righteous said “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance”. God ordained both Obama and Trump to lead this Nation, maybe for blessing maybe for punishment.

Take the biggest, most outrageous example of Fake News in recent memory, Pizzagate. Remember when suckers were spewing back stories about child sex slaves in the basement of a pizza joint! They wanted to believe so much that they actually went along with the obviously fabricated story. How it must of hurt to discover it was Fake News put forth by the Right Wing Media Machine (with the help of Russians). And now the Fake President wants us to believe that the Billy Bush tape was Fake! Will he bring back Birtherism too?!

Your columns are usually funny, but this "obamagate" one was hysterical! You should submit it to "The Onion"!<br /><br />If you want to pretend that there is nothing wrong with getting caught in lie after lie after lie after lie about meeting and corresponding with Russia, that's your right. You can pretend there is nothing behind all the lies, no reason. Just innocent lies. After all, it's "your" guys doing the lying right, so it's ok.

And, as you know, Brian Ross was suspended for broadcasting false information and I submit that it was intentional. Furthermore, this deceptive information (I refuse to call it erroneous.) had a profound impact on the market. Ross needs to be fired, not merely suspended.<br /><br />I find it distressing that people will be prosecuted for fabricating to the FBI because of the dual standard being applied. And, there is certainly Federal law as follows:<br /><br />"Making false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) is the common name for the United States federal crime laid out in Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which generally prohibits knowingly and willfully making false or fraudulent statements, or concealing information, in "any matter within the jurisdiction" of the federal government of the United States, even by mere denial[clarification needed].[1] A number of notable people have been convicted under the section, including Martha Stewart,[2] Rod Blagojevich,[3] Michael T. Flynn[4], Scooter Libby,[5] Bernard Madoff,[6], and Jeffrey Skilling [7]."<br /><br />The source in quotes, supra, is Wikipedia. However, the language comes directly from Federal Code: 18 U.S.C. § 1001.<br /><br />Now, HRC has made such statements in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001.
