Giuliani: ‘The Basis on Which’ Mueller Was Appointed Is ‘Illegitimate’

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said the “basis” on which special counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to probe Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was “illegitimate.” Giuliani said, “First of all there are two different investigations. The counterintelligence investigation is now over for over a year and they weren’t disclosing it to anybody. Immediately that raises questions in my mind of why not. I think why not because it clears the president. Then you get the Comey thing which is a leak of a confidential memo which is illegal for an FBI official to do and that becomes the basis for appointing Mueller. I’m not saying Mueller is illegitimate. I’m saying the basis on which he was appointed was illegitimate.” When asked if  the Mueller probe is legitimate, Giuliani said. “Not anymore. I did when I came in. Now I see Spygate.” Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN

Rubio Defends FBI on Trump Probe — They Were Investigating ‘Suspicious’ Individuals

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL) defended the FBI’s action during the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump by saying they were investigating individuals with suspicious histories connected to Russia. Rubio said, “As far as what I have seen to date, it appears that there was an investigation not of the campaign but of certain individuals who have a history that we should be suspicious of that predate the presidential campaign of 2015, 2016.” He continued, “When individuals like that are in the orbit of a major political campaign in America, the FBI, who is in charge of counterintelligence investigations, should look at people like that. But they’re not investigating the campaign. They’re investigating those people.” He added, “I have seen no evidence that those people were part of an investigation on the campaign. If that exists, I would want to know about it, we should all know about, and that would be wrong, and we should do something about it. But up to now, what I have seen is evidence that they were investigating individuals with a history of links to Russia that were concerning. And that was appropriate if that is all that happened.” Follow

Flake Won’t Rule Out Challenging Trump in 2020

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) would not rule out challenging President Donald Trump in a 2020 Republican presidential primary. Flake took the same position on a potential presidential bid back in December when asked. Flake said, “It’s not in my plans, but I have not ruled anything out. I do hope that somebody runs on the Republican side other than the president — if nothing else than simply to remind Republicans what conservatism is and what Republicans have traditionally stood for.” Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN

Judge Jeanine: ‘Sick and Tired’ of ‘Liars, Leakers and Liberals Attacking Our President When They Are the Ones Who Tried to Frame Him’

During her Saturday opening statement on Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” Jeanine Pirro expressed her frustration with the Deep State’s attempt to “take down” and “did everything in its power to destroy” Donald Trump during his presidential campaign by spying on him and his associates. Pirro named former FBI Director Jim Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former President Barack Obama, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former CIA Director John Brennan and former National Security Adviser to President Barack Obama as “liars, leakers and liberals” who attempted to frame Trump. “The Obama administration was so determined to get Hillary Clinton elected and Donald Trump defeated that they let Hillary skate on her criminal activity and created a narrative of criminal activity on the part of Donald Trump. They created a false predicate, a made up dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton, the DNC and the FBI in order to get a court to approve spying on the Trump campaign,” Pirro argued. She later stated, “I, for one, am sick and tired of these liars, leakers and liberals attacking our president when they are the ones who tried to frame him. Here’s a primer for all of you: if you’re going to

NBC’s Nelson, Daily Beast’s Alter: Trump Engaging in ‘Autocratic Behavior’

Saturday on MSNBC, NBC contributor Sophia Nelson and Daily Beast columnist Jonathan Alter both accused the president of the United States of engaging in “autocratic behavior.” Nelson, who said she is a “scholar of the American Constitution,” argued President Donald Trump tweeting he has been spied on and calling for an investigation is unconstitutional behavior. “This is autocratic behavior. Wake up, America,” Nelson stated. “Presidents don’t talk like this. They don’t do this. There’s not this kind of mess going on that we have. There’s so many investigations. There’s so much drama, there’s so much impropriety.” She added, “For the president of the United States to suggest that he’s been spied on and then to demand on Twitter an investigation and get it is a problem for me as an American citizen. And as someone that’s a scholar on the Constitution, this is unconstitutional behavior. This is not what our founding fathers had in mind. It just isn’t.” Alter agreed, calling Trump a “Banana Republican.” “When the president says that the NFL players maybe they should leave the country — that is such an anti-constitutional, unconstitutional view of our system. It’s of a piece with what we’re seeing in them trying to shut down this investigation. It’s autocratic behavior like

Spoiler: Business Insider Is An Outsider — #Pravduh

Business Insider decided to join the chorus of Tesla-bashing media. It did give the job to an excellent writer who had no idea what he was writing about, so it might have convinced others he was right who didn’t quite know what they were reading about. We can’t all be experts, but a real “insider” would not write this misinformed and misleading piece
