DEVELOPING NOW Trump Calls For Resignation of Crooked Dem Senator After Attack On Trump’s Doctor

Capitol Hill has been a rumor mill and a tornado all wrapped up on one over the past month because of the nomination and vetting process going on regarding the next Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Congressional and Senate Democrats hated Ronny Jackson as a nominee and they did everything in their power to discredit him. Now the President is looking for blood in order to get back.

On Saturday morning the President called for Senator Jon Tester’s (Montana) resignation. The President did not like the allegations that Tester was hurling against Jackson and he wants him to be held accountable. So he went to none other than Twitter to express his distaste.
Jackson was a White House doctor as well as Navy Admiral. He withdrew his nomination this past Thursday. This effectively too him out of the running to become the next Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The rumors and allegations out there are that Jackson had a shady background regarding prescription drug practices and alcohol use. In addition, Jackson was accused of being an alcoholic, getting drunk, and wrecking the provided government vehicle that he had after a going away party that the Secret Service threw for him.

Fox News reported,

“Tester, the top Democrat on the Republican-controlled Senate Veteran Affairs Committee, is seeking a third Senate term this year in a state Trump won in 2016 with 56 percent of the vote. On Friday, the White House pushed back again the allegations, saying records, including police reports, show Jackson was in three minor vehicle incidents in government vehicles during the last five years, but none involved the use of alcohol and he was not found to be at fault.

In one case, a side-view mirror was clipped by a passing truck, while in another incident an enraged driver in Montgomery County, Maryland, allegedly punched out Jackson’s window during a morning drive to Camp David. In addition, the White House medical unit Jackson ran found that he successfully passed regular controlled substance audits, according to the records for the last three years. The reviews did recommend improvements to the medical unit’s handling of controlled substances but did not find misconduct.

The Associated Press reviewed the documents Friday. They were the result of an internal White House review of allegations raised against Jackson during his brief confirmation process. The White House said the records, covering recent years, disprove the allegations. Tester’s office has not specified the time frame during which the alleged misconduct occurred. The senator’s spokeswoman Marnee Banks said the office would not comment until it knew more about the White House records.

Separately, the Secret Service said it has no evidence to support an allegation that its personnel intervened to prevent Jackson from disturbing former President Barack Obama during a foreign trip in 2015.

In a statement dated Thursday, the Secret Service said it had conducted a “thorough review” of internal documents related to Obama’s foreign trips in 2015 and interviewed people who were present. The agency said it has found “no information that would indicate the allegation is accurate” and no record of any incident involving Jackson. CNN had reported allegations that Jackson drunkenly banged on the hotel room door of a female employee and that Secret Service personnel intervened out of concern that he would wake Obama.

Jackson has denied the accusations, calling them “baseless and anonymous attacks” on his character and integrity that are “completely false and fabricated.” Asked about the situation at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Trump called the Jackson situation “an absolute disgrace.”

“These were false accusations about a great man; about a man who has a son who’s a top student at Annapolis; about a man that’s given his life to this country, and to the military — a brave man. He would have been a great leader,” Trump complained, noting that he, Obama and former President George W. Bush had all praised the doctor’s conduct in the past.

Trump said he’d called Jackson earlier Friday and told him that he was “an American hero” because he’d “exposed the system for some horrible things.” The Democratic staff on the committee considering Jackson’s nomination also claimed Jackson had doled out such a large supply of a prescription opioid that staffers panicked because they thought the drugs were missing. They said their allegations were based on conversations with 23 of Jackson’s current and former colleagues at the White House Medical Unit.”

It’s now official!

A report put out by the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee on Friday has confirmed that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of collusion between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. Effectively putting an end to the fake narrative floated by the Democrat Party to excuse Hillary Clinton’s humiliating loss in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The 253-page report goes on to confirm that the committee found no evidence that the Trump campaign or Trump himself colluded in any way with the Kremlin in order to steal the election from the Hillary, The Democrats, of course, objected to the release of the report.

After the release of the report President Trump quickly took to Twitter:
Although not everything in the report was rosy for President Trump. It went on to describe poor judgment and ill-considered actions by both the Trump and Clinton campaigns. Citing the 2016 meeting between Trump campaign officials and the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya who had promised the Trump campaign damaging intel on the Clinton Campaign.

On the flip side, the committee also found that the Clinton campaign and the DNC used a series of cutouts and intermediaries to hide their roles as they paid for opposition research on Trump which was obtained from Russian sources, opposition research that has since then been completely disproven.

Of course, the Democrats on the House Committee wrote there own 99-page dissent to the official report. In this report, they say Republicans did not call key witnesses to testify and failed to issue the necessary subpoenas to force testimony, adding that the committee hobbled its ability to conduct a credible investigation which would inspire public trust.

Let’s hope this whole Mueller investigation wraps up quickly and the Democrat Party’s false narrative can finally be put to rest.

Here is more information on the fake Trump Dossier via Forbes:
“A former British intelligence officer, who is now a director of a London private security-and-investigations firm, has been identified as the author of the dossier of unverified allegations about President-elect Donald Trump’s activities and connections in Russia, according to the Wall Street Journal. A Christopher Steele, a director of London-based private intelligence company, Orbis, purportedly prepared the dossier under contract to both Republican and Democratic adversaries of then-candidate Trump. The poor grammar and shaky spelling plus the author’s use of KGB-style intelligence reporting, however, do not fit the image of a high-end London security company run by highly connected former British intelligence figures.

The PDF file of the 30-page typewritten report alleges that high Kremlin officials colluded with Trump, offered him multi-billion dollar bribes, and accumulated compromising evidence of Trump’s sexual escapades in Russia. That the dossier comes from former British intelligence officers appears, at first glance, to give it weight especially with Orbis’ claim of a “global network.” The U.S. intelligence community purportedly has examined the allegations but have not confirmed any of them. We can wait till hell freezes over. The material is not verifiable.

President-elect Trump has dismissed the dossier’s contents as false as has the Kremlin. Trump is right: The Orbis dossier is fake news.

I have studied Russia and the Soviet Union professionally since the mid-1960s. I have visited Russia as a scholar, as the head of a multi-year petroleum legislation project, and as a business consultant close to one hundred times. My first visit was in 1965 shortly after Nikita Khrushchev’s removal. I have a wide circle of friends and acquaintances in Russia, and I follow the Russian press regularly. I personally witnessed the creation in the early 90s of Russia’s giant energy concerns in the offices of the oil minister. I met with St. Petersburg officials in the early 90s but do not remember meeting then deputy mayor, Vladimir Putin. I have written and co-authored reports for the State Department, Congress, and the intelligence community; so I sort of know how these things work

New York Times Reporter Amy Chozick Complains Media Failed Hillary Clinton in 2016

In an interview with Slate staff writer Isaac Chotiner, New York Times campaign reporter and Chasing Hillary author Amy Chozick discussed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat — and complained how the media did not do enough to promote her agenda.

Chotiner needled Chozick about a passage in her book that highlighted the public thirst for knowledge of Clinton’s email scandal, saying, “There was an insatiable appetite for email-related stories. I can’t explain it exactly except to compare it to a fever that spread through every newsroom and made us all salivate over the tiniest morsels.”

Chotiner asked, “What role do you think the Times had in how big a story it became,” while Chozick specified that it was in regards to all media outlets, not just the one at which she was employed:

I think a lot of the furor over the emails came from cable news and what was feeding cable, so I want to make clear that that section wasn’t just about the Times.

Look, I understand Hillary’s supporters complaining about the veracity and volume of stories around the email server. But I think it’s hard to say that the leading candidate for the presidency of the United States being under FBI investigation is a nonstory, which seems like what some of her supporters have argued. You can debate the legitimacy of the FBI investigation, but it was definitely a big story.

Of the chaos before the election, Chozick lamented that it was simply “impossible to get other sympathetic stories to break through in the environment we were in,” especially amidst coverage of the Clinton e-mails that she characterized as “voracious.”

Unsatisfied, Chotiner pressed the point that, regardless of what else had been happening, the New York Times could still have plastered sympathetic stories about Clinton and her policies across the front page. Chozick was in fact personally involved in the coverage of the Clinton presidential campaign and pointed out the multitude of stories featuring the 2016 Democrat nominee.

When pressed about not putting flattering Clinton content front and center — even without supporting interviews — Chozick asked directly: “You are saying we could have put that on the front page even if there was no interview?” Chotiner simply responded, “Yeah.”

Chozick agreed but said, “When you get a press release that the entire press corps gets on some policy that is being rolled out, it’s much harder to argue that this is huge news that needs to be highlighted in an important way.”

“I don’t, obviously, make those decisions, or I would put all of my stories on the front page,” she continued, “but I do think, you know, you need news. You need something new. We covered all of it.”

After a bit of wrap-up on Clinton’s defeat, Chotiner took one last jab about a Twitter dispute between Chozick and Chelsea Clinton on the fact-checking done (or not) for the book, which allegedly misrepresents Chelsea Clinton’s “hair keratin treatment,” or lack thereof, and whether she was “popping champagne.”

All of the media efforts in the world still resulted in the election victory of President Donald Trump. Whether that might have been changed if some outlets had only shilled harder for Clinton, we may never know. Undoubtedly the media will continue to update you when more people are found to blame for the results of the 2016 election other than Hillary herself.
