Oh yeah, Trump overturned Obama's horrific anti-coal policy because he got a little campaign money.

With attack on BBC cameraman, Trump's anti-media speech has been weaponized.

As a cameraman with 25 years' experience working at the BBC, Ron Skeans probably knows a thing or two about hostile environments.

His colleagues have been killed and injured working in war zones and dictatorships the world over.

But when Skeans landed the plum job in the corporation's Washington DC bureau in 1994, he surely didn't expect to come under physical threat while covering the rarified arena of US politics.

Of course, that was before the arrival of Donald Trump as commander in chief.

On Monday evening, the BBC reports that Skeans was violently attacked by a Trump supporter wearing a Make American Great Again cap, while he filmed a presidential rally in El Paso, Texas.

As Gary O'Donoghue, the reporter working with Skeans, later suggested when he described the incident, the assault followed a now-familiar tirade by the President against the press, in which he accused the media of failing to acknowledge his achievements and claimed "93% of the stories are negative."

"This is a constant feature of these rallies, a goading of the crowds against the media," O'Donoghue said.

"I've been spat at before, they hurl abuse. ... This was very different.

A man got on to the platform after this (goading) had happened repeatedly in the President's speech, and previous speeches. ... It was an incredibly violent attack."

How Manafort’s 2016 meeting with a Russian employee at New York cigar club goes to ‘the heart’ of Mueller’s probe.

The 2016 nominating conventions had recently concluded and the presidential race was hitting a new level of intensity when Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, ducked into an unusual dinner meeting at a private cigar room a few blocks away from the campaign’s Trump Tower headquarters in Manhattan.

Court records show that Manafort was joined at some point by his campaign deputy, Rick Gates, at the session at the Grand Havana Room, a mahogany-paneled space with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the city.

The two Americans met with an overseas guest, a longtime employee of their international consulting business who had flown to the United States for the gathering: a Russian political operative named Konstantin Kilimnik.

The Aug. 2, 2016, encounter between the senior Trump campaign officials and Kilimnik, who prosecutors allege has ties to Russian intelligence, has emerged in recent days as a potential fulcrum in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation.

It was at that meeting that prosecutors believe Manafort and Kilimnik may have exchanged key information relevant to Russia and Trump’s presidential bid.

The encounter goes “very much to the heart of what the special counsel’s office is investigating,” prosecutor Andrew Weissmann told a federal judge in a sealed hearing last week.

One subject the men discussed was a proposed resolution to the conflict over Ukraine, an issue of great interest to the Russian government, according to a partially redacted transcript of the Feb. 4 hearing.

During the hearing, the judge also appeared to allude to another possible interaction at the Havana Room gathering: a handoff by Manafort of internal polling data from Trump’s presidential campaign to his Russian associate.

The new details provide a rare hint at what Mueller is examining in the final stretch of his nearly 21-month-old investigation — and underscore his deep interest in the Grand Havana Room gathering, which ended with the three men leaving through separate doors, as Judge Amy Berman Jackson noted.

Sounds a lot like collusion.

Byron York: Resistance rattled by 'no collusion' talk
by Byron York
There have been reports recently that the Senate Intelligence Committee, the panel conducting the bipartisan flagship congressional investigation of the Trump-Russia affair, has not found evidence to conclude that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to fix the 2016 election.

"If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," the committee's chairman, Republican Sen. Richard Burr, told CBS last week.

Pressed on his statement a few days later, Burr said, "The only thing I've addressed is whether we had facts that suggest there was [collusion]. We don't have any."

Oh yeah, you've got Trump for sure this time!
This one won't be a huge disappointment like the last 20 times, oh no!

My name is not Robert Mueller you jackass.

Do you have one single shred of evidence that Robert Mueller has no evidence of a crime?

He sure has charged a lot of people with crimes.

And speaking of that, I would like an answer to this question.

If all of these contacts with Russians were so innocent, then why have so many people lied about them?
