What Does Trump's 'day Of Patriotic Devotion' Really Mean
... do hereby proclaim January 20, 2017, as National Day of Patriotic Devotion, in order to strengthen our bonds to each other and to our country - and to renew the duties of Government to the people. It’s hard to imagine Trump tweeting: “A new national pride stirs the American soul” in one of his tweets. It sounds more like the language of his inaugural address, which the administration has insisted Trump wrote himself, but which was reportedly actually written by former Breitbart News head Steve Bannon and senior adviser Stephen Miller. The proclamation speaks of the need to “strengthen our bonds to each other and to our country.” That parallels this section from his speech on Friday. At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When ...
Sen. Rubio Wants To Know Why Sessions Didn't Disclose Russian Meetings
... about what those meetings were about and why it wasn't disclosed. There is certainly a valid question that needs to be answered here, and it is potentially the case that there's going to be Justice Department recommendations or referrals based on anything regarding the campaign that, depending what more we learn about these meetings, it could very well be that the attorney general - in the interest of fairness and in his best interests - should potentially ask someone else to step in and play that role. Again, we're not there yet. I mean, the - but we could be, and so we just need to start thinking about those things. INSKEEP: Well, let's just be clear on what we know because it's certainly legitimate to limit ourselves to what we know. The attorney general has issued a rather narrow defense. He said, quote, last night "I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign" - so not denying the meeting, seems to deny only that the specific purpose was to discuss issues of the campaign. But he's meeting with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. And we ...
Press Gaggle By Press Secretary Sean Spicer En Route Joint Base Andrews, 3/2/2017
... in the course of his Senate duties, did what senators do. There’s no discussion - there’s nothing that would lead anyone to believe that he didn’t do anything that was part of his job. Q What was that meeting in regards to. MR. SPICER: I don’t know. But, I mean, there’s nothing - it was in his Senate office. There were Senate aides, from what I understand, conducting Senate business. Q I don’t think anybody is - nobody is really questioning that the senator has the right to meet with the Russian ambassador in the course of his business. My question before was rather whether after - when he’s become attorney general, he didn’t take the President or someone in the White House aside and say, listen, I don’t think - there was nothing untoward here but this is pertinent information given the current political climate. MR. SPICER: What pertinent information. Q That he met with the Russian ambassador and it wasn’t ...
Jeff Sessions Lied About Russia Meetings Video
... misleading under oath, but I do think he has to recuse himself from any investigation. I don’t know if it’s lying since the question posed” was about campaign workers. Bila asked in response, “But doesn’t it look shady if you had contact in another capacity and you chose not to disclose it?” Hostin did agree it was “shady.”. And Sara Haines said the part she found “deceitful” was Sessions saying that he’d been referred to as a “surrogate” for the campaign, but did not have any meetings, when he actually did. Behar later asked, “The point is, why did he lie? He didn’t have to lie… Same with that guy, Flynn. He lied when he didn’t have to. Why is everybody lying? To protect Trump?… I think this is unraveling very, very quickly right now.”. But Goldberg said, “I don’t think it had anything to do with you-know-who. I think they lied because they knew no matter what they were going to get in.” And while Hostin said “asking him to resign is the nuclear option,” she was in agreement on a recusal. Goldberg also declared, “People shouldn’t have to ask you to recuse yourself. You’re the fox in the hen house. Get out!”. The panelists went on to discuss the timing of the Sessions report, ...

For Some Families Of Victims Killed By Chicago Police, Cpd Report Means Little
... CHICAGO - Several families of victims of police shootings spoke out today after the U. S. Department of Justice's report from its yearlong investigation into the Chicago Police Department. Many say they were not surprised by the findings of the report and they're demanding justice for people who have been killed by Chicago police officers. Cynthia Lane's 19-year-old son Roshad Mc Intosh was shot and killed by a Chicago Police Officer in August 2014. Since then, she says she's been overwhelmed by grief and unanswered questions. “I don't think change is going to come about in the police department,” Lane said. “They took my son away from me.”. Last fall, she was among a group of mothers who had a closed door meeting with the department of Justice investigators probing CPD. Of the report, she says, “I still have no faith in none of the report because to me, they're saying the same thing that's already been said.”. And, she's not alone. Dorothy Holmes' son Ronald Johnson was also killed by police in 2014. Both mothers have sued the city and are highly critical of the police code of silence and lack of accountability, with stories that don't add up and officers going ...
Dems Demand Sessions Recuse Himself On Confirmation Votes
... he’s still a U. S. senator with all the rights and privileges that pertain to that,” Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said. “But that’s a personal choice that he’ll have to make.”. Because of Judiciary Committee rules, Sessions has to wait longer than other Cabinet picks until his nomination can come to the floor. The panel is scheduled to take up his nomination on Jan. 24, but any one senator can ask for committee business, like a nomination, to be held over one week. So that means several Cabinet nominees will come to the floor well before Sessions’ nomination as attorney general. Senate GOP leaders are eyeing confirmation votes for at least four Cabinet officials on Friday after Trump is inaugurated: John Kelly for Homeland Security secretary, Elaine Chao for Transportation secretary, retired Gen. James Mattis to lead the Pentagon and Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) for CIA director. It appears likely that at least some of the early ...
Ohio's Senators React To Attorney General Recusal From Probe
... but perhaps also found in increasing abundance. “It’s like anything,” says Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin, whose former second-rounders, Jeremy Hill and Gio Bernard, were outplayed by 2013 sixth-rounder and impending free agent Rex Burkhead this past season. “If the player is good enough, he warrants the pick no matter what position. There are players in this draft that are good enough and warrant the pick.”. No club had a more dynamic tailback tandem than the Falcons a year ago. General manager Thomas Dimitroff found Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman in the middle rounds, and Kyle Shanahan earned Assistant Coach of the Year honors in part due to the way he maximized both by splitting their work. “I’m a firm believer that you can get running backs throughout the draft,” Dimitroff says. “You don’t have to go as high as the first or second round. You can go in the ...
Sessions Should Resign Over Russian Conversations
... with all of these investigations - it seems as if they're being tainted. And one of the things that the American people want is integrity in institutions like the FBI and the CIA. MARTIN: But shouldn't there be. CUMMINGS: And when you have the number one law enforcement officer in the country coming before his colleagues under oath and saying that he had no contact with the Russians and then you find out that that's absolutely untrue and then for weeks - for weeks, Rachel - he does not even mention it, even as he sees Flynn go - General Flynn be fired. MARTIN: Mike Flynn, former national security adviser. CUMMINGS. For lying. You have to begin to wonder where is the integrity. MARTIN: Well, let me ask you this because Jeff Sessions is saying, listen, in his capacity as a senator on the Armed Services Committee, he ...
Recuse Look-ups Spiked Today, According To The Merriam-webster Dictionary
... when he was asked, under oath, about Trump’s possible ties to Russia during his confirmation hearing. Justice Department officials told Washington Post reporters Adam Entous, Ellen Nakashima, and Greg Miller that Sessions spoke with Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak “at the height of what U. S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U. S. presidential race.”. Other lawmakers have gone further, saying Sessions should resign from his position as attorney general. Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader, said Sessions must resign. “Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country and must resign. There must be an independent, bipartisan, outside commission to investigate the Trump political, personal, and financial connections to the Russians,” said Pelosi. Sessions made his own statement in response to the Washington Post’s ...
Is This The Answer To Your 'stranger Things' Separation Anxiety
... with several mysterious tweets. (Editor's note: The video may be disturbing to some readers. View with discretion.). Have you seen the light. __link__/0 m Hpjjeuv Q. While The OA and Stranger Things are unrelated properties, fans of the latter may be attracted to the new series' mysterious plot. The first season of Stranger Things largely focused on the disappearance of Will Byers. The OA will also deal with the odd circumstances surrounded the whereabouts of a main character: Prairie Johnson. Similar to Stranger Things, The OA also appears to hint at what looks like medical experimentation, with one scene in the trailer featuring Johnson having some sort of device lowered on her head. This may be, however, where the Stranger Things comparisons end. The OA will undoubtedly be its own series, set on making its own unique mark on the streaming platform. And unlike Stranger Things, which largely deals with the journey of adolescents, The OA appears to revolve predominately around the circumstances of adulthood. Fans of thrilling mysteries will undoubtedly want to set some time aside Friday, when Netflix will be dropping all episodes from The OA's first season. It looks ...
