Er is een boel mis met de DNC en democraten in de VS in het algemeen, maar de Republikeinen maken het wel érg makkelijk voor ze om er als de good guys uit te komen.

Ik vond het eerlijk gezegd al meteen verdacht dat een week voor de verkiezingen het onderzoek naar Clinton heropend werd en vervolgens een paar dagen daarna weer werd gesloten.

k. tnx for the input.

Two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday pressed the committee's Republican chairman to provide special counsel Robert Mueller with transcripts of the panel's interviews with key witnesses in its Russia probe, including Donald Trump Jr.

The request, from Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), reflected the partisan tension in a judiciary committee whose investigation has for months been splintered along party lines.

It also amounted to a suggestion that witnesses — potentially including Donald Trump Jr., who sat for an interview in September — may have made false statements to the committee. In a recent interview, Blumenthal predicted the Trump Jr. transcript would be “explosive” if released.

US Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin has broken with tradition by declaring a weaker dollar is good for American trade in comments that have fuelled market speculation that Washington is seeking to depress the currency to boost the economy.

The dollar came under further pressure following the comments at a news conference on Mr Mnuchin’s arrival at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, which represented a shift from previous US administrations where Treasury secretaries have resolutely extolled a strong dollar policy.

The index tracking the US currency against six peers fell to fresh three-year lows in early New York trading, down nearly 1 per cent to 89.26. The fall left it 2.6 per cent weaker over January, adding to a 10 per cent slide in 2017. Against the euro, the dollar was 0.75 per cent weaker at ¤0.81, a 2.8 per cent decline over January

On the US dollar weakness in recent weeks, the Treasury secretary said: “The dollar is one of the most liquid markets. Where it is in the short term is not a concern for us at all.“

A weaker dollar is good for us as it relates to trade and opportunities. Longer term, the strength of the dollar is a reflection of the strength of the US economy and that it is, and will continue to be, the primary reserve currency.”

Trump: ‘I’m looking forward to’ speaking to special counsel

quote:

"There's been no collusion whatsoever," Trump told reporters in an impromptu press conference on Wednesday. "There's no obstruction whatsoever. And I'm looking forward to it."

Trump also mocked critics who have accused him of obstructing the Russia probe by attacking the investigations and referring to them as a "witch hunt."

"You fight back, oh, it's obstruction," Trump mockingly told reporters.
Trump also told reporters that he plans to speak with special counsel Robert Mueller in two to three weeks, but said his lawyers are working out the specifics.

"I'm looking forward to it," Trump said about being questioned by Mueller. "I would do it under oath."

Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer leading the response to the investigation, said Mr. Trump was speaking hurriedly and intended only to say that he was willing to meet.

"He's ready to meet with them, but he'll be guided by the advice of his personal counsel," Mr. Cobb said. He said the arrangements were being worked out between Mr. Mueller's team and the president's personal lawyers.

quote:

WASHINGTON — President Trump said on Wednesday that he is open to a path to citizenship after 10 to 12 years for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, days after rejecting a bipartisan plan with that as its centerpiece.

Mr. Trump once again seemed to undercut his administration’s message, telling reporters at the White House that he would allow the young immigrants, known as Dreamers, to “morph into” citizens over a period of time.

The reporters had gathered for a briefing from a senior official detailing the administration’s plans to stick to a restrictive immigration agenda when the president dropped in unprompted, shortly before departing for Davos, Switzerland, pre-empting the official.

“Over a period of 10 to 12 years,” Mr. Trump said, “somebody does a great job, they work hard — that gives incentive to do a great job. Whatever they’re doing, if they do a great job, I think it’s a nice thing to have the incentive of, after a period of years, being able to become a citizen.”

(...)

As the Trump administration struggled in recent days to produce an on-message stance on immigration, the publicity-loving Mr. Trump has kept largely out of sight, particularly as lawmakers in both parties worked to reopen the government after a three-day shutdown. Earlier on Wednesday, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said that administration officials would release a “legislative framework” on Monday that will be designed to emphasize conservative demands for tougher immigration enforcement and border protection.

Within hours, Mr. Trump’s off-the-cuff comments to reporters seemed, again, to suggest flexibility. But his remarks sent the White House staff scrambling in what one official called a “fire drill.” After delaying the briefing for nearly an hour, Mr. Trump’s aides decided to postpone it until Thursday as they tried to reconcile their plans with the president’s words.

quote:

"Are you even going to give out your calendars? Seems kind of depressing. Maybe it should just be the first meeting of the secret society," FBI lawyer Lisa Page wrote to senior FBI agent Peter Strzok

[..]

Asked Wednesday whether he believes there's a "secret society" inside the FBI to take down the president, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., said, "That's Strzok and Page's term."

"Everything I take with a grain of salt," he added. "[But] I've heard from an individual that ... there was a group of managers within the FBI that were holding meetings off site."

So "when Strzok and Page had described a secret society, that didn't surprise me because I had corroborating information," Johnson said.

He declined to describe the "whistleblower" in any way, and he said he did not know what the FBI's "off-site" meetings might have entailed.

Nevertheless, he said he is "trying to be as transparent as possible."

U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May reportedly cannot get her points across in phone calls with President Trump because he interrupts her and totally dominates the discussion, according to a new report from Bloomberg.

Trump reportedly leaves May with five or 10 seconds to speak before interrupting her, according to someone familiar with the relationship, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
