Re: POTUS 45.59: It Was a Great Phone Call

BREAKING: President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, asked the State Department and White House to grant a visa to the former Ukrainian prosecutor who Joe Biden wanted removed when he was vice president, a career diplomat reportedly told Congress this week during closed-door testimony.

Before the Sniffles rally in Dallas last night the arena piped in some music to pump up the crowd. Among the hits: YMCA by the Village People.

No, really.

Does anyone care?

JUST IN: Two officials with the Department of Housing and Urban Development acknowledged during a hearing this week that the agency knowingly stalled sending hurricane relief funding to Puerto Rico after missing a legally required deadline to do so after Hurricane Maria.

Re: POTUS 45.59: It Was a Great Phone Call

A major investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state found no evidence of deliberate mishandling of classified information.

The finding by the U.S. State Department, released on Friday by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley's office, follows a three-year investigation, for which Clinton handed over roughly 33,000 emails.

Assertions of wrongdoing had been a major cornerstone of President Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign—with repeated chants and demands to "lock up crooked Hillary"—however, Trump made no mention of the findings on Friday.

The investigation was launched by Grassley in 2017 when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Blamed as responsible? Sure. Actually punished as individuals? Not likely.

$546/night doesn't look that unreasonable to me. It's not a Holiday Inn. Depending on the type of liquor and how many people, $1000 may not be as bad as it sounds either.

It's still corrupt AF, but I don't think you can definitively say he's not charging "at cost"
