DT reminded Kelly that Clinton was not removed from office and told him to ask Starr what it feels like to be a loser.

This article is quaint. As if this Administration has any standards at all regarding contact with the DoJ. Can we at least please stop pretending already? The dotard doesn’t call it the “Trump Justice Department” for nothing.

The threat of interference with FBI and DOJ has less to do with Mueller than with 2020 elections. Every potential opposing candidate will be publicly investigated by FBI with DOJ commenting on pending charges. That is why the interference is so scary. We are very quickly moving toward the situation in Russia – elections without truly free elections.

This is not surprising. The rules don’t apply to them even their own.

I am shocked!, shocked I tell you! The venerable Gen. Kelly breaking rules? How can that be?

Oh, that’s right, he is servile to the Donald.

Bloomberg reported Monday that President Trump exploded

In a perfect world this would have taken place on an episode of Farm Film Report.

Big Jim McBob: He blowed up good.
Billy Sol Hurok: He blowed up real good.

Nothing to see here: just one manservant lording his status over an infinitesimally lesser manservant.

Trump’s Nazi push to debase the government is full speed ahead. The US billionaires like Gates, Koch, Musk, Buffet, and other members of the richest robber baron class in history will stand by Trump as long as he makes them richer through tax cuts and government subsidies (corporate welfare).

Bye bye Democracy - hello dictatorship.

The Russians are moving in as Trump destroys the FBI and department of justice.

Sieg heil comrades. Heil Trump and Pence!

You need to acknowledge where the true power lies.

Kelly is full of himself AF. He keeps screwing up, and one day soon it won’t be one of these little disturbances and then he can go home and spend time with his family.

Good to know that Kelly isn’t merely an endorser of torture and an enthusiastic white nationalist: good to know that he’s an out-and-out, anti-democracy, authoritarian martinet as well, more than willing to pervert the course of justice, the rule of law, and the Western legal tradition going back to Magna Carta, if it will make this regime invulnerable to the consequences of its corruption and collusion.

This is like the version of Seven Days In May where the generals win: what Charles Koch would call the “happy ending.”

Poor democracy. Poor, poor old America.

The policy issued by White House Counsel Don McGahn in January 2017 limits communications to the DOJ to the President, Vice President, and White House counsel.
Kelly is the current acting President. Thus no violation. (Unfortunately we the people did not elect him, but on the way to the Imperium, that is a small matter.

I think the little insert says ‘Fear the Talking Feds’. In reference to the Republican Spin Memo.

Trump needs to release the memo so the Russians who backed him can learn the names of all the spies the US has.

Surprise! John Kelly is a fascist crook with no shame or honor. No wonder Trump refers to him as “his” general.

Certainly Buffet cannot be classified anywhere in the league as the Kochs; they are quite opposite. Buffet has consistently opposed these tax cuts. He did write how shocked he was that his secretary was taxed at twice his rate. Much the same can be said of Gates (and his father), and although he sucked at his education initiatives seems to have learned.

Quite a few RWNJ 1% belong in that list, but Buffett and Gates? Definitely not by a long, long shot.

Though shouldn’t the #1 Trumpie Target, Soros, be in there? /snark
