“I’m going to ask you: Are you now or have you ever worked for Russia, Mr. President?” Pirro asked.

“I think it’s the most insulting thing I’ve ever been asked. I think it’s the most insulting article I’ve ever had written!” Trump said in response.

Trump them mischaracterized the Times report.

“If you read that article you would see they found absolutely nothing,” he said. “But the headline of that article? It’s called the failing New York Times for a reason. They’ve gotten me wrong for three years. They’ve actually gotten me wrong for many years before that.”

And it's exactly as you say, shanny, it's nothing that has been publicly released. The White House and its supporters don't seem to get that part. If there were truly nothing found, these investigations would've wrapped up a long time ago, but the indictments don't bear that out.

Her voice cuts through me like a hot knife through better. How anyone could stomach watching an entire "show" of hers is beyond me.

Trump? He's a pathological liar. There are certain criteria that must be met for such an investigation to begin, so it wasn't just the whimsy of the FBI that that investigation was started. I can't wait to find out what were their findings and conclusions. The biggest con-man in the U.S. didn't rise to that lofty position all alone.

back off the cosmetic surgery. It brings more attention to her crossed eye. I never know which eye to concentrate on, when they wander off in different directions. How old is she anyway? Obviously, she has not quit heavy drinking, so she needs this job at Faux.

15. There Are Two F-Faces at Faux News That Absolutely Make Me Puke
Sun Jan 13, 2019, 10:57 AM

And Jeanine Pirro is one of them. The other one is Sean Hannity. Jeanine Pirro's usual demeanor is that of a finger wagging mom scolding her little children - such smug self righteousness makes me want to puke! And Sean Hannity's presumptuous smirk also makes me want to puke.

Trump saying he's insulted by the question is as good of an admission of guilt as I want and need. In effect, he's saying "look no further - off limits!" Which means the allegations of the NYT are true, and that's exactly where we should be looking. If you work from the premise that Trump is a Russian agent, everything he's done since he became president just falls into place.
