Melania Trump Follows Barack Obama on Twitter
Melania Trump only follows five people on Twitter and one of them is former President Barack Obama. We don’t know why she follows him but we did get a hold of some DMs she sent him and they may help explain it.

..... By the way, just announced earlier tonight that Assoc. Atty. General Rachel Brand has suddenly resigned. She would have been Rod Rosenstein's replacement if, I mean when, Rosenstein is fired. Unfortunately, she is in line with Rosenstein and Trump sees her as a threat as well. The next in line is a right wing attorney who disliked the PPACA and was attorney for the Virginia Republican governor to keep him out of jail. So, that makes six senior staff from the Justice Department who Trump has gotten rid of.
..... Also, even though the House Intelligence Committee approved the public release of the Democrat's rebuttal to the Nunes memo, Trump has stopped it as well ... the memo will not be allowed to go public. So Trump's orchestration of totalitarianism is just around the corner.

Trump Angry Mark Warner Tried to Speak with Dossier Author Christopher Steele, but so Did Devin Nunes

Newsweek
President Donald Trump questioned Thursday why a Democratic senator at the center of Congress’s Russia investigation sought a private meeting with a British ex-spy who authored a controversial dossier about Trump’s ties to Russia.
Trump tweeted: “Wow!—Senator Mark Warner got caught having extensive contact with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch. Warner did not want a “paper trail” on a “private” meeting (in London) he requested with Steele of fraudulent Dossier fame.”
The president added: "All tied into Crooked Hillary."
Trump's message followed a story on Fox News alleging Warner—the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating the Trump campaign—tried to set up a private meeting with Christopher Steele last year. Steele is the former MI6 spy who compiled a dossier that accuses Trump’s campaign of working with the Kremlin to interfere in the 2016 election.
The news outlet obtained text messages Warner reportedly sent to Adam Waldman, a lobbyist who has worked on behalf of oligarch and Putin associate Oleg Deripaska and also knows Steele.
“Chris Steele asked me to call you,” Waldman wrote to Warner in a March 16, 2017, message that began their conversation about setting up the meeting.
“We want to do this right private in London don't want to send letter yet cuz if we can't get agreement wud rather not have paper trail,” Warner wrote back March 30 as the two worked to hammer out the conditions of the meeting.
Steele had requested a joint letter from Warner and the Senate Committee’s Republican Chairman Senator Richard Burr officially requesting an interview, according to the texts, but the Senators did not want to send the letter and be rebuffed.
Early last March, Steele’s friends said publicly that he would be willing to meet with members of Congress in the U.K. It was also reported that Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee informally approached him for an interview.
Warner and Burr released a joint statement condemning “leaks of incomplete information out of context by anyone, inside or outside our committee” on Thursday.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who sits on the committee, said late Thursday that the texts are not controversial. Warner "fully disclosed” his contacts with Waldman to the committee four months ago, Rubio tweeted.
Trump and Republicans in the House have been working in recent months to discredit the Russia investigations in both branches of Congress and by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Last month, the release of a memo written by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes prompted Trump to argue that investigations of his campaign by the FBI and Department of Justice are biased.
Trump argued Steele’s dossier, which was funded in part by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, was the main piece of information used to gain a warrant to spy on one of his former campaign officials, Carter Page, who was long suspected of being a Russian intelligence asset.
Yet many Republicans on the House committee said the memo didn't vindicate Trump and that other pieces of evidence apart from the dossier mean the investigations should continue.
Nunes sent his senior staffer Kashyap Patel and another committee staff member to London last summer to meet with Steele, The New York Times reported early this month. The two showed up unannounced at Steele’s office, and neither Democrats on the committee nor the U.S. Embassy in London were made aware of the trip. Steele refused to meet with the Republican staffers at the time. The trip was first reported last year soon after it happened.
Last week, The Daily Beast reported WikiLeaks head Julian Assange, who was involved in releasing emails alleged to have been stolen by Russian intelligence hackers from Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic Party during the 2016 election, sought to share damaging information about Warner with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
An aide to Burr told Fox News on Thursday that the committee chairman was aware of Warner’s “back channel” messages attempting to set up a meeting with Steele and that the two revealed the content of the texts to their committee colleagues last October.

Twitter failed to remove hundreds of Russian propaganda videos aimed at Americans
Twitter left hundreds of Russian propaganda videos, with millions of views, on its video platform Vine for months after it should have known they were posted by a Kremlin-linked troll group. The discovery raises new questions about the nature of the company's effort to find and remove content produced by Russians trying to meddle in American politics, and how comprehensive it has been. The accounts and videos were removed only after CNN brought them to Twitter's attention on Wednesday. Twitter did not comment as to why it removed the accounts or why they had been allowed to remain live for so long. Sen. Mark Warner, the leading Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CNN he was concerned ...

Trump's administration continues to unravel. His selections of "the best" reminds me of the movie scene from Blazing Saddles where they are signing up the "worst of the worst" to attack Rock Ridge.
