Trump's top intelligence and military advisers held unusual meeting at CIA HQ on Iran. Officials say it's extremely rare for White House officials or cabinet members to attend a meeting at Langley.

NEW: The White House asked Don McGahn twice in the past month to declare that Trump never obstructed justice. Their first request came before the Mueller report was released publicly but after DOJ gave a copy to Trump's lawyers. McGahn declined.

McGahn initially entertained Trump's request. But after the Mueller report was released, detailing all of Trump's efforts to obstruct, he declined. The report also included Trump's comments that McGahn leaked to the media to make himself look good.

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani is pressing a foreign government to pursue investigations of Trump's political opponents to help Trump's 2020 campaign as Trump continues to face questions about whether his 2016 campaign conspired with a foreign power.

"The Kremlin-backed news agency RT also has been playing up the Biden-Ukraine connection, publishing a story in early April headlined 'Joe Biden’s past strong-arming in Ukraine is coming back to haunt him.'"
Trump allies have been attacking US Amb to Ukraine, career Foreign Service officer Marie Yovanovitch, as part of their ongoing and completely asinine effort to link Ukraine to Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.

Trump on Iran: "I'd like them to call me. You know, John Kerry speaks to them a lot. @JohnKerry tells them not to call. That's a violation of the Logan Act. And, frankly, he [a former Sec of State] should be prosecuted on that."

Trump is deranged.

NEW: Former Sec of State @JohnKerry responds to Trump's baseless accusations: "Everything President Trump said today is simply wrong, end of story. He's wrong about the facts, the law, and sadly, about how to use diplomacy to keep America safe."

“Another possible reason to hold a meeting of senior White House officials at Langley is if there is disagreement about what the intelligence shows on a particular subject”
Then-Vice President Dick Cheney frequently traveled to CIA to grill analysts about intelligence, McLaughlin said.

Critics later accused Cheney of seeking to cherry-pick intelligence suggesting that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, a charge he denies.
The meeting was rare in that national security meetings are usually held in the White House Situation Room, and senior White House officials and Cabinet members don't typically attend meetings at the CIA.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

This is the result of #Iran's role in #Syria.
These three beautiful children on the right are now dead after being bombed in #EastGhouta.
This is #EastGhouta, under siege for 5 years by #Assad in #Syria, held in power by #Iran's regime.
These innocent people are being ruthlessly bombed. Hundreds dead in the past few days alone.
Be the voice of #Ghouta.
Innocent children, like this little angel, are paying the price of #Iran's belligerence in #Syria to maintain #Assad in power for their own interests, and unfortunately, the world's silence in the face of such atrocities of defenseless civilians being viciously bombed.
