I love the old markers of time. To go with ‘fortnight’ (fourteen nights), English once had the lovely ‘sennight’ (seven nights) for a week, too. ‘Yestreen’ meant ‘last evening’, ‘ere-yesterday’ was the day before yesterday, and ‘overmorrow’ the day after tomorrow.

Devin Nunes created and is paying for a fake news site that, among other things, attacks me. So I am going to do the same thing. Aw, just kidding. I don't need to spend money peddling fake news. I've learned there is an easier way to inform the American people: tell the truth.

Jared #Kushner is a VIP as the son-in-law of @POTUS. If he can't get a security clearance it's not because FBI lacks resources. Only 4 explanations: -Kushner cannot be trusted -Kushner is susceptible to blackmail -Kushner has loyalties to a foreign power Or all of the above.

flock of people, including Porter and Jared Kushner (who repeatedly left out information about his foreign contacts from security clearance paperwork) have operated without permanent security clearances. wapo.st/2nQAEaq?tid=ss…

We don’t want a president who bends over backward to give the benefit of the doubt to neo-Nazis, wife beaters, pedophiles and sexual predators — or who is a sexual predator himself. nyti.ms/2nQtVxu

Mr. President, what you call “political” are actually called facts, and your concern for sources and methods would be more convincing if you hadn’t decided to release the GOP memo (“100%”) before reading it and over the objections of the FBI.

The Democrats sent a very political and long response memo which they knew, because of sources and methods (and more), would have to be heavily redacted, whereupon they would blame the White House for lack of transparency. Told them to re-do and send back in proper form!
