#walkaway kende ik wel, wat ik zo snel op twitter zie is het vooral een door verkeerde informatie ingegeven movement weer. Met hetzelfde loze gelul over de democraten zijn de KKK begonnen etc. En de het napraten van de Republikeinse strategie van #offtheplantation.

The special counsel investigation into President Trump’s longtime ally Roger Stone is pressing witnesses about Stone’s private interactions with senior campaign officials and whether he had knowledge of politically explosive Democratic emails that were released in October 2016, according to multiple people familiar with the probe.

As part of his investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 campaign, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III appears to be intently focused on the question of whether WikiLeaks coordinated its activities with Stone and the campaign, including the group’s timing, the people said. Stone and WikiLeaks have adamantly denied they were in contact.

On Friday, Mueller’s team questioned Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s former chief campaign strategist, about alleged claims Stone made privately about WikiLeaks before the group released emails allegedly hacked by Russian operatives, according to people familiar with the session.

In recent weeks, Mueller’s team has also interviewed several Stone associates, including New York comedian Randy Credico and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi. Both testified before the grand jury.

The president looks to blame Democrats and the Fed for declines in the stock market. Analysts cite many other explanations.

President Donald Trump is setting up a simple strategy if markets and the economy cool over the next two years: Blame Democrats and the Fed.

In recent days, Trump and his senior advisers have repeatedly argued that recent turbulence in the stock market reflects investor fear that Democrats will retake the House in the midterm elections next week. “If you want your Stocks to go down, I strongly suggest voting Democrat,” Trump tweeted Tuesday. And he has repeatedly bashed the Federal Reserve in recent interviews for its modest campaign of rate hikes.

The Trump campaign’s closing ad of the midterm cycle — using footage from the 2008 financial crisis — suggests that handing power to Democrats would bring back sky-high unemployment. “I think election risk is a big part of this correction,” Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top economic adviser, said in an interview. “The market doesn’t want to see an overturning of the business tax cuts or the deregulation or the energy boom. Until this is settled, it’s going to be hard.”

Economists and market analysts say these arguments bear little connection to reality.

Instead, they note that the economy is following a pattern many predicted when Trump and Congress slashed corporate tax rates last year: a period of faster growth followed by a return to the pace of around 2 to 3 percent that has persisted for nearly a decade with annual deficits rising.

Market analysts and traders also attribute much of the recent volatility in stock prices to fear over Trump’s bitter trade war with China and concern that corporate profits have hit their high point for the current economic expansion, which is now in its tenth year and approaching the longest expansion on record. Panic over Democratic gains in Congress does not rank high on the list of worries.

‘Christian Rabbi’ From Pence Rally Was Defrocked Years Ago: Report

Loren Jacobs, the “Christian rabbi” whose prayer with Vice President Mike Pence on Monday night infuriated Jewish leaders in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, was reportedly defrocked 15 years ago. Jacobs, a leader of Messianic Judaism, which is widely seen as a variation on Christian theology, had already come under fire from critics who questioned why Pence would invite a rabbi who is not Jewish to pray for the Jewish victims of Saturday’s anti-Semitic attack at the Tree of Life synagogue. Now, according to NBC News, it appears he is not even recognized as a rabbi in Messianic Judaism. “Loren Jacobs was stripped of his rabbinic ordination by the UMJC in 2003, after our judicial board found him guilty of libel,” Monique Brumbach, a spokeswoman for the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations, told NBC News late Tuesday. Brumbach did not give details on who Jacobs had allegedly libeled. GOP congressional candidate Lena Epstein, who said she’d invited Jacobs to Pence’s rally as a “sign of unity,” has yet to comment on news of Jacobs’ defrocking.
