The Atlantic, using anonymous sources, wrote that Trump disparaged murdered Army Specialist Vanessa Guillen & ordered Mark Meadows not to pay for her funeral. Guillen’s sister Marya is defending Trump’s treatment of her sister & her family, and Mark Meadows is denying the story.
Guillen family lawyer Natalie Khawam, who also appears in the Atlantic article, is also accusing Jeffrey Goldberg of misrepresenting the conversations they had and of lying in the story.

In 2018, as Nunes pushed to release his FISA Memo (authored partly by Kash Patel who’s reportedly being considered for FBI Director) which exposed big flaws in the FBI’s Trump-Russia inquiry, Mike Rogers (also reportedly being considered for FBI) went on NPR to fight its release.
My own thoughts in January 2018 FWIW
Here is Mike Rogers on CNN criticizing the decision by Nunes & HPSCI GOP to release the FISA Memo (authored by Kash Patel & revealed deep flaws with the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation).
Rogers & Patel both reportedly being considered for FBI Director.
Happy eight-year anniversary of Jake Sullivan assisting Hillary Clinton in pushing the bullshit Alfa Bank Trump-Russia collusion claims as a last-ditch effort to generate an October Surprise. Sullivan went on to be the Biden-Harris Admin’s disastrous national security adviser.
Amazing. Loretta Lynch — the Obama AG whom Bill Clinton tried to secretly meet with in the middle of a DOJ investigation into Hillary — is now working for China’s largest drone company.
Everyone can see Lynch’s court filing on behalf of CCP’s DJI here:
DJI and Chinese drone dominance in the United States is a serious problem — one that some policymakers & lawmakers have unsuccessfully tried to solve for years. And now you have a former Obama attorney general throwing her support behind China in its fight against the Pentagon…
It’s long been my view that leaders who hold important positions of trust in the federal government — especially in law enforcement & the national security arena — should be banned by law from doing future work for foreign foes (like China) as part of their agreement to serve.
In his new book, discredited dossier author Chris Steele is still trying to push the baseless & debunked claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian scheme. Nowhere does he admit the laptop was real & that Russia had nothing to do with it. The man is a total fraud.
Interesting that, among the eight folks Steele praises for “excellent investigative work” & who he says he draws upon in his book, two were directly involved in the bullshit Hunter Biden laptop letter— Sipher as a signer & Bertrand as author of the Politico article publishing it.
Steele claims “private individuals” funded “dozens of detailed reports” about alleged Russian influence efforts to help Trump in 2020, with Steele claiming he sent the reports to “well-connected” people in the U.S., & he “presumes” the reports made it to the U.S. intel community.
Puck News says that, after Dokoupil unforgivably asked Coates a few tough questions, dozens of CBS employees “took issue with Dokoupil’s treatment of Coates, as well as what they perceived as his history of editorializing on the Israel-Palestine conflict.” puck.news/the-tony-ta-ne…
“The Race & Culture unit… determined that while Dokoupil’s questions & intentions were acceptable, his tone was not… The Standards & Practices division… determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process where questions are run through Race & Culture.”
“…an Instagram post by Grant portraying GOP Sen. Tim Scott as Uncle Tom surfaced on Twitter…”
@DylanByers knows quite well that the Instagram post didn’t just passively surface on Twitter, but that I searched Grant’s Instagram & quote tweeted Byers’s tweet with what I found.
The interview was fine. Frankly, they did not challenge Ta-Nehisi Coates nearly enough over his glaring omissions & ridiculous framing. But Coates is deemed untouchable, so even the lightest pushback pointing out his obvious biases & questionable motivations causes a meltdown.
I knew the new book by Ta-Nehisi Coates was deeply flawed & biased against Israel (CBS had a meltdown because one of its anchors had the temerity to ask Coates about it) but I didn’t realize the book *doesn’t even mention* Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, etc. LOL
actual LOL. here are just a few of the recent Instagram posts by Doctor DEI. ah yes, seems like just the person to guide an unbiased conversation on a controversial issue.
