When Trump invited Lindsay Graham over for 'golf' or 'lunch'

he had one thing in mind. Trump ordered Graham to go to Hilary and reopen that email case. Well, Graham is going after Hillary. Trump sees the senators as brown shirts, Gestapo, to do his will.

Schiff: There's "damning" evidence of Trump-Russia collusion

Erica Pandey 5 hrs ago

Rep. Adam Schiff — the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee investigating contact between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin — said the evidence of coordination is "pretty damning" on CNN's "State of the Union."

"We have all of these facts in chronology, you'd have to believe that these were all isolated incidents, not connected to each other — just doesn't make rational sense ... We do know this: the Russians offered help, the campaign accepted help, the Russians gave help and the president made full use of that help. That is pretty damning, whether it is proof beyond a reasonable doubt of conspiracy or not."

Mattis, Tillerson warned Trump of security concerns in Israel embassy move

BY ELLEN MITCHELL - 12/06/17 03:58 PM EST

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary James Mattis were reportedly both opposed to President Trump’s decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem due to security concerns, according to multiple news outlets.

Mattis and Tillerson both expressed to Trump that moving the embassy would endanger American diplomats and troops stationed in the Middle East and Muslim countries, The Associated Press reported.

Reuters also reported that Tillerson and Mattis opposed the move from Tel Aviv, citing U.S. officials.

Trump made the announcement Wednesday that the United States officially recognizes Jerusalem as the “political capital” of Israel and directed the State Department to begin the process of moving the U.S. Embassy there.

The move will not come for several more years but the announcement is expected to ignite protests across Israel and the larger Middle East.

Tillerson, in a statement released after the announcement, said that the safety of Americans is the State Department’s highest priority, and it had “implemented robust security plans to protect the safety of Americans in affected regions,” prior to Trump’s decision.

He added that the State Department had “consulted with many friends, partners, and allies in advance of the President making his decision.”

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert on Tuesday told reporters that Tillerson had “made his positions clear to the White House,” on moving Israel’s U.S. embassy, but would not say whether the secretary agreed with Trump’s decision.

Mattis also dodged questions from reporters Tuesday while returning from a trip to the Middle East and Africa.

The retired four-star general said he met with Trump “late last week” over the matter and the two had an “open discussion” that “went on for some time.”

“I gave to the president what I thought. You have to look at the world in different parts and pieces too. So, as you do that, you have to have a lot of information. I collected the information. I made my recommendation, and I'll just leave it that,” Mattis said while on a plane from Kuwait to Washington.

The U.S. government acknowledged dangers for Americans abroad ahead of Wednesday's announcement with warnings to its workers and citizens.

The U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem on Tuesday ordered government workers in Israel to limit movement in the city to “essential travel and with additional security measures,” due to “widespread calls for demonstrations beginning Dec. 6 in Jerusalem and the West Bank.”

And following Trump’s declaration, the U.S. Embassy in Jordan issued a temporary suspension of routine public services for U.S. government personnel and their families, citing possible demonstrations.
