Not one of these Holocaust survivors is talking about today, rather as children in the 40's.

This is how Fake News Newsweek manipulates stories to say that these folks are reliving the Holocaust today.

For those who still respect Muller ...

Sunday on New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz ripped special counsel Robert Mueller, calling him “a partisan and zealot.”

“I think Mueller is a zealot,” Dershowitz told host John Catsimatidis. “I don’t think he cares whether he hurts Democrats or Republicans, but he’s a partisan and a zealot. Look, he’s the guy who kept four innocent people in prison for many years in order to protect the cover of Whitey Bulger as an FBI informer. … Those of us in Boston don’t have such a high regard for Mueller because we remember this story. The government had to pay out tens of millions of dollars because Whitey Bulger, a notorious mass murderer, became a government informer against the mafia.

“[T]hese four people – two of them died in jail, and two of them spent long, long periods of time in jail. And that’s regarded in Boston as one of the great scandals of modern judicial history. And Mueller was right at the center of it,“ he recalled.

Drain the swamp!
Agents Raid Office of Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen in Connection With Stormy Daniels Payments.
A U.S. Attorney from Southern District of NY that Trump appointed, executed the search warrants. [That could explain why Trump called it disgraceful. That guy was supposed to do his bidding instead of executing the law like Sessions was supposed to.

Upon hearing about the raid, Trump, who identifies the country's interests with his own, went on a tirade "It's an attack on our country in a true sense. It's an attack on what we all stand for." He seems to think we all stand for keeping Stormy quiet. He's coming apart and it's not pretty. Of course he went off at Sessions again. He's ruminating. There are many national and world-wide crises that require the full and immediate attention of a rational president. he's not particularly coherent on a good day. I think he needs a leave of absence so he can attend to his personal affairs.

"No collusion, no collusion, no collusion."

Russian elite invested nearly $100 million in Trump buildings.

BREAKING NEWS
A Ukrainian magnate paid Donald Trump’s charity $150,000 in 2015 after Mr. Trump gave a video talk. Robert Mueller is said to be investigating. The special counsel is investigating a payment made to President Trump’s foundation by a Ukrainian steel magnate for a talk during the campaign, according to three people briefed on the matter, as part of a broader examination of streams of foreign money to Mr. Trump and his associates in the years leading up to the election.

I repeat "No collusion."

On a side note, it is sad to see Evangelical Christianity on the wrong side of history.

A review of a CFPB database obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information request shows that the bureau issued an average of two to four enforcement actions a month under former Director Richard Cordray, President Obama's appointee. But the database shows zero enforcement actions have been taken since Nov. 21, 2017, three days before Cordray resigned.

Before Mulvaney, the bureau used enforcement actions to extract billions of dollars in relief for consumers from financial companies and to stop companies from doing harm. Bank of America was ordered to return $727 million to consumers for deceptive credit card practices in 2015 — the largest award in the bureau's history — but the CFPB has issued dozens of smaller actions to get relief for student borrowers, victims of debt collection companies and bank customers.

In the roughly seven years it has been in existence, the bureau has returned $3.97 billion in cash back to American consumers through enforcement actions and an additional $7.93 billion in other types of relief, such as lower loan balances or debt relief, based on the CFPB's records. The bureau estimates roughly one of every 10 Americans has received some sort of reimbursement or relief due to the bureau's enforcement work since it was created.

This investigation is all fake news from Russia. The raid didn't happen. And even Trump's response was all fake. There's actually nothing really going on at all.

I saw a "convincing" youtube that Parkland was all fake. Never happened.

Then just yesterday, one guy supposedly shot 5x at close range with a military style AR-15 rifle with high power rounds was released from the hospital.

There is good reason to be skeptical of all news.

Yes! Yes! I realized that way back when all the news went all in for all the reasons Bush & Co. -- Cheney - Project for New American Century -- gave for preempting Iraq.
