“The White House News Photographers Association is appalled to learn that the White House spokesperson may have shared a manipulated video of CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s interaction with a White House intern during a news conference...
2/ “...As visual journalists, we know that manipulating images is manipulating truth. It’s deceptive, dangerous and unethical...
3/ “...Knowingly sharing manipulated images is equally problematic, particularly when the person sharing them is a representative of our country’s highest office with vast influence over public opinion.”

Erdogan himself didn’t make time to meet with Bolton and said that “despite the fact that we reached a clear agreement with Mr. Trump, different voices have been raised from different echelons of the U.S. administration.”
2/ Erdogan: “Trump’s views on Syria and his determination to pull out remain our point of reference.” Re Bolton request Turks don’t attack Kurds, Erdogan said he “cannot make any concessions. Those involved in a terror corridor (in Syria) will receive the necessary punishment.”
3/AP: Shortly after Bolton’s meetings and in an apparent snub to the U.S. diplomatic push, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara’s preparations for a new military offensive against terror groups in Syria are “to a large extent” complete.

Knowledgeable source tells me that White House forced out Pentagon Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Kevin Sweeney (ret.)
Official title was “Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense.”
Sweeney was going to leave within a couple months, having worked directly for Mattis, but WH forced him out before he wanted to leave, knowledgeable source says.

“Stan McChrystal is one of the great generals of this generation and the finest officer I ever served with. He is a deep strategic thinker, tactically brilliant, with unparalleled personal courage. His leadership of special operations forces in Iraq and Afghanistan...

Hello! I am coming to you this morning US District Court in DC where we soon expect a ruling in the case of CNN reporter Jim Acosta attempting to have his White House credentials reinstated. The White House has argued it has the right to rescind Acosta’s press pass.
I’m filling in today for @ZoeTillman who has tiny shoes to fill in that her feet are small but also large shoes to fill in that she is smart. I will try not to screw it up.

So my understanding is the “White House” is a building where the “President” lives.
Also Acosta was standing in the security line behind me on the way in and I would describe his mood as “medium” and his suit as “nice."

Mark today #Acosta Day. Donald Trump took two steps today which signal how skiddish he is about the Mueller investigation and the media grilling that awaits him on the heels of @TheDemocrats House win.
If he didn’t fear Robert Mueller, Trump wouldn’t have fired the Attorney General today, only to replace him with sycophant whose only task seems to be to keep Mueller off his back. 2/6 cnn.com/2018/11/07/pol…
Trump’s real insecurity showed earlier today when he couldn’t handle the simplest of questions from @cnn’s Jim @Acosta. Trump bristled while petulanly yelling “that’s enough” like a child upset about a gift at a birthday party. 3/6 washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
