“Add to the mix the deep hostility of most of the Manhattan-Beltway elite media. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) has said he doesn’t share the president’s view that the mainstream media are “the enemy of the people,” but Graham does think washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump…
they are “allies of the Democratic Party.” A large slice of the press seems to be, in the view of many Trump supporters, intent on toppling this president. Most journalists are old-school, straight-arrow reporters of events and statements, but some are deep into the fight against
Trump even while denying it. Not a few absolutely loathe him. So when Trump leaves himself vulnerable to interpretations of his spontaneous statements, that slice of the press that hates him will pounce, along with opinion journalists and Democratic politicians.
The old-school scribblers then report the facts of the controversy. The cycle is on.” Rinse and repeat. At home it is politics. Abroad it is the source of great confusion. washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump…

From Friday’s intv w/ @AmbJohnBolton: “Article 51 in the U.N. Charter embodies what the text of the charter calls the inherent right of individual and collective self-defense. And that’s something we have stressed over and over again for Israel.
You know, I know you’re familiar with the saying people often call Israel the canary in the mineshaft when it comes to the United States, that people would like to criticize Israel or constrain Israel’s options both for its own sake and because they know ultimately
it’s the same argument to limit America’s ability to defend itself. So we’re very interested in maintaining the unfettered right Israel has of, and as the U.N. Charter itself calls it the inherent right of individual and collective self-defense.” hughhewitt.com/ambassador-joh…

Understatement of the new millennium: “The decision to investigate Mr. Trump himself was an aggressive move by F.B.I. officials...” Was Dep AG Rosenstein asked for authority or did Bureau senior management go full Hoover/CoIntelPro? Calling @LindseyGraham nytimes.com/2019/01/11/us/…
From the article: “As F.B.I. officials debated whether to open the investigation, some of them pushed to move quickly before Mr. Trump appointed a director who might slow down or even end their investigation into Russia’s interference.
Many involved in the case viewed Russia as the chief threat to American democratic values.

“W/respect to Western ideals and who it is and what it is we stand 4 as Americans, Russia poses the most dangerous threat to that way of life,” Ms. Page told investigators for [the] House”

Q to @AmbJohnBolton: “To turn to domestic politics, is there daylight between the President and Secretary of State Pompeo and/or you, Mr. Ambassador?
JB: No, there’s not. You know, when I was out in Israel and Turkey, I think I spoke to the President four or five times by phone.
I spoke to Secretary Pompeo about the same number of times. General Dunford was with us in Turkey. And as I mentioned a moment ago, the position we presented to the government of Turkey was one that we had cleared through all the normal diplomatic and bureaucratic processes
precisely so that the U.S. spoke with one voice. You know, the media loves to find splits in the administration. It’s sort of a hobby of theirs. And I think the media also have a problem, you know, when they don’t know the full story because they don’t get to sit behind me at
