Sources say the meeting between Trump and Democrats -- scheduled to begin at 11:15 -- lasted anywhere from 3-5 minutes.

At 11:15, the White House hastily called reporters to gather for an escort to the Rose Garden. It was the kind of scramble we haven't seen here in a while.
As he spoke, Trump stood at a podium with the presidential seal and a placard showing the Russia investigation by-the-numbers. It also read, "No Collusion / No Obstruction."

Afterward, aides handed out copies of @ABC graphics showing stats on the Mueller Report.
Moments later, at the Capitol, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said the goings on would "make your jaw drop."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she's praying for the president, and for the country.

President Trump will unveil a new immigration proposal in a Rose Garden speech tomorrow, a senior aide tells us.

It's short on specifics, but would reshape the legal immigration system to prioritize young, educated English speakers who have been offered jobs in the US.
Extended family ties, now the basis for most green card grants, would no longer guarantee entry under Trump's latest proposal.

Instead, applicants would have to score high on a point-based system.
There's nothing for the so-called Dreamers in the plan Trump will announce tomorrow, according to the WH.

The proposal would seek to expedite removal for asylum seekers, and enable the building of the border wall in prioritized areas.

HOW FAR WILL TRUMP GO IN VENEZUELA?

@MajorCBS asked the acting chief of staff for this week's very newsy episode of @TakeoutPodcast, which drops tomorrow...

Mulvaney: "I don't think we're going to take affirmative action to make [Guaido] become the leader."
@MajorCBS @TakeoutPodcast ON THE LATEST NORTH KOREAN LAUNCHES:

"These missiles -- whatever they were, whatever you want to call them -- were very small." Mulvaney told @MajorCBS last night (before today's news), calling the launches a "very non-provocative provocation."
ON THE PROSPECT FOR CONFRONTATION W/ IRAN:

"I don't want to guess at the future, but we are not going to war in Iran," Mulvaney told @MajorCBS on the @TakeoutPodcast, which drops tomorrow. "I think what you're going to see is us over there to enforce and protect our interests."

Wray is a career Swamp Rat. The FBI “rank & file” was not paid to “think outside the box.” They were paid to conform to the practices set by Comey & then collect the gold watch after doing their job. They did as they were told. Being “creative,” could get them canned.
2/ @seanhannity was always fond of pointing out the “average” rank & file at the FBI were just “ordinary guys.” But those ordinary guys were affected by the politics at the top of the food chain. Keeping your head down & following orders was imperative. #Comey like #Obama was an
4/ obsessive micromanager who insisted the entire Department follow the politics of the Obama Administration. With an agency weaponized, it might be all too easy to find that beam pointed at you. Better to keep quiet and go along.

Lt. Colonel, I have had common civilians with little education & zero security clearance reference the classified technology -> #DEWs, #RemoteNeuralMonitoring & #EMF-based weapons systems now deployed by #FBI #JTTF #DHS #NSA
(2) .@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y
.@POTUS

These agencies are silently killing anyone that they have blacklisted.

These attacks are accompanied by death threats, interception of all communications, theft, and stalking of the targets by local LEOs & entire neighborhoods

.@POTUS

Targets are identified as "mentally unstable" and "threats to the community," usually with false allegations of crimes of moral turpitude included in order to raise the ire of entire populations against innocent targets (à la Phoenix Program)

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

@realDonaldTrump The rank and file of the FBI are disgusted with how the President of the United States constantly undermines their independent law enforcement agency when they’re just trying to do their job and protect America.
@realDonaldTrump Firing James Comey for refusing to swear a loyalty oath to Dear Leader McDonald Trump didn’t sit well with the rank and file of the FBI. It was a dictator’s move with a strong whiff of obstruction of justice. But thankfully it backfired and gave us Special Counsel Mueller.
@realDonaldTrump Now evidence is coming to light that Trump talked to senior administration officials and staff about withdrawing the United States of America from NATO. If true, that would make Trump a real traitor who loves Putin’s Russia more than our own country. Shameful and frightening.
