Think Gates deal probably has more to do Manafort money laudering pre election rather than Russian interference but there is a hell of a lot of lying going on about something.

I genuinely thought he was turning the ship around for a while there. But they are all spineless careerists in the end, reporting to Chief Backbone Void Paul Ryan, King of the Weasels
Agreed, but all that information from Gates on Manafort might mean Manafort coughs up information (if any exists) related to Russia/Trump that Gates doesn't know to save his own hide.
Trump can find money for a useless wall in Southern California but none for an earthquake warning system

Maybe he'll transfer it from the $$ used for background checks for gun purchases.

To be fair, wasn't Gates pretty much the only campaign staffer who spanned the Manafort and Bannon periods? Suspect he has a lot of info of his own. But yeah, have to imagine Manafort will fold fairly shortly after.
Bannon did 20hrs of interviews with Mueller's team last week too. He will have absolutely spilled his (substantial) guts - no way he's going to prison to save ANY of the people above him.
Aye, doesn't seem much love lost between Bannon and Kushner in particular and Bannon does seem one of few who knew what should have happened when approached by Russians bearing gifts.
“The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor—with no lawyers. They didn’t have any lawyers,” Bannon is quoted as saying in Fire and Fury. “Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad (Poor language filter) , and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the F.B.I. immediately.” Bannon reportedly speculated that the chance the eldest Trump son did not involve his father in the meeting “is zero.”
It's pretty upsetting having Trump as president but it's also upsetting to see how easy it has become to brainwash people with social media.
I just hope the next generation build up an immunity or an ability to filter correctly.

I hated that 'effort' by CNN. Should have tried to convince her off camera. For me not a gotcha journalism moment. Unless of course their goal was to make her look foolish. Certainly not journalism at it's finest.
Sort of thing you’d expect from the Daily Mail just with a different target.
Either do off camera or invite her to studio with time to prepare, not ambush her on front doorstep.
I do agree that it does come across in poor taste to try ambush her like that and confuse her.
They don't care about you. They are after a scoop and ratings, both sides are especially now in the days we live in.
But she could have said no to doing the interview.
I have been asked in my life to do several interviews for various things but after one instance where the idiot got my name wrong i decided that would be my rule of thumb, saying no that is.
There are classes in college for media and how to handle yourself. Sure i bet Everton hold classes to teach the trainees how to handle themselves.
Public speaking and being in front of a camera is not easy, so yeah its a bit crass.

The parents of first lady Melania Trump have become legal permanent residents of the United States and are close to obtaining their citizenship, according to people familiar with their status, but their attorney declined to say how or when the couple gained their green cards. Immigration experts said Viktor and Amalija Knavs very likely relied on a family reunification process that President Trump has derided as “chain migration” and proposed ending in such cases.

Trump has repeatedly blasted the long-standing policy as “chain migration.” In last month’s State of the Union, the president called that process a threat to Americans’ security and quality of life. Under his plan, he said, only spouses and minor children could be sponsored for legal residency. But immigration experts said such a path would have been the most likely method his in-laws would have used to obtain residency that permits them to live in the United States.
Matthew Kolken, a partner at a New York immigration law firm, said there are only two substantive ways Trump’s in-laws could gain green cards: by their daughter sponsoring them or by an employer sponsoring them. The latter is unlikely, as it would require a showing that there were no Americans who could do the job for which they were sought. Both the Knavses are reportedly retired. In Slovenia, Viktor Knavs, now 73, worked as a chauffeur and car salesman. Amalija Knavs, now 71, was a pattern maker at a textile factory. David Leopold, an immigration lawyer and a past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said the first lady’s sponsorship of her parents appears to be the only reasonable way they would have obtained green cards because the process currently gives preferential treatments to parents of a U.S. citizen.

I must remember to make my note say "if its good enough and works for the president then it must be good enough and work for the rest of us" in the comments section of my own application for my elderly retired parents when i go through the process.
Such a walking contradiction this guy is.
