Almost like daring Trump to fire her. Instant superstar if so...

The independent investigation into possible ties between Russian efforts to interfere in last year’s election and associates of President Donald Trump is necessary, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in an interview that aired Monday morning, so that the issue can be put to rest.

The Department of Justice announced last week that former FBI Director Robert Mueller had been appointed as a special prosecutor to oversee the Russia investigation, a move that the president took little time to characterize as “the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history.” But Haley, visiting Jordan on her first foreign trip as Trump’s representative at the UN, voiced support for Mueller’s appointment.


“I think we absolutely need the investigation,” she told NBC’s “Today” show. “I think that all these questions need to be answered so that the administration can get back to work.”

1. I think the term is "lip service".

2. Another attention-seeking opportunist

Haley was a Rubio fan so there is no love lost

3. She has plans for her future...and the SSTrump is sinking

To me, that statement says there's no Russian dirt on her. So that's one.

4. I think she's part of Team Pence.

And she'd certainly stay if he gets a promotion.

But I also think she--wittingly or unwittingly--plays a role as a character in Trump's Kabuki theater with Russia.

5. I think she's clever enough to make sure that she won'tt go down with the ship

...after it takes on too much water. I think she's shrewd. Haley's burnished her "foreign policy creds" by serving at the UN while cultivating an image of being independent from slavish loyalty to Trump. She may be he only example of someone who so far has managed not to be publicly demeaned through her association with Trump. She is setting herself up for the future.

6. It's shameful that this country has deteriorated to where we support a RW mouthpiece like Haley.

8. Who says we support her?

I think op is just noting yet more dissent in Trumpworld.

12. I have never support her...her voice is chilling...I just mute the remote or change channels....

7. Please tell me the 'instant superstar' part wasn't referring to Nikki Haley...

9. Well remember Rubin is a conservative. Anti-Trump. But still a conservative.

[MineralMan]

10. Not really. She's just echoing Trump's own line on this.

He said virtually the same thing.

11. Namrata is trying for a promotion in 46's administration

However she forgets that 46 will decide on who closely works with him based on what she has (or doesn't have) between her legs 😂
