... "the world understands now that Putin owns this war. He owns the blood in the streets of Ukraine, and he owns the body bags of Russians coming home to their mothers. It's his war, not Ukraine's". | Tim Weiner, expert on U.S.-Russia rivalry.

A non-denial denial from #DotardDon. Fire & Fury author Michael Wolff interview with Lawrence O’Donnell

Trump repeated his false glory pat-on-the-back today for getting #Carrier to not move their manufacturing to Mexico. This of course is false. Trump says 1100 jobs were saved when it turns out to be roughly 730 jobs. Carrier is still moving 550 jobs to Mexico and another 700 employees will simply be canned, something Trump will not state. Trump’s campaign rhetoric was that he would force domestic manufacturers to remain in the US by theatening a 35% tax on imports (he doesn’t mention all the Trump products that are imported). Trump and Mike Pence instead awarded Carrier with 7 million dollars in tax incentives over a 10 year period, in effect ransoming the Indiana tax payers. Trump has stock in Carrier’s parent company United Technologies. MSNBC The Last Word: Inside Trump's deal to save Carrier jobs

Why did FBI director make an announcement about the emails? First of all to be transparent due to the scrutiny of the GOP members on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chaired by Jason Chaffetz. If he didn’t do it now instead of later they would have cried foul and said information was being withheld from them. Comey received notice from an FBI team working on the Anthony Weiner case that there were emails belonging to his wife Huma Abedin (Clinton campaign chairwoman) on Weiner’s laptop that “appear to be pertinent” to the investigation on the Clinton email server case. They recommended  the FBI take appropriate steps to review the emails and he agreed. And he was notifying 8 committee chairmen of his intentions.  There was no big announcement of a “reopening of the investigation” , no implications as to what any of the emails contained, no statement that there were thousands and thousands of emails, no statement that the emails came from Hillary Clinton....but there sure has been a lot of speculation, spinning, outrageous statements from the media, and outright lies from the Trump campaign and FOX News. The diarrhea coming from the mouth of @seanhannity and his pit of vipers was more toxic than ever and hard to stomach. The only one who seemed to responibly report what was happening was Maddow.  The letter to Congressional committee members was evidently leaked to the media by Chairman Jason Chaffetz. It wouldn’t be the first time the Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform committee leaked informtion, including information that they called classified. Jason Chaffetz ‏@jasoninthehouse FBI Dir just informed me, "The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation." Case reopened Later in the evening it was reported by Lawrence O’Donnell that FBI Director Comey sent a note to his staff revealing why he sent the letter to the Congrssionald chairmen. The whole thing was definitely poorly timed and really blown way out of proportion and spun out by the conspiracy theorists.
