I agree with Ohio that there is a lot of fake news on these cable news networks. For example, I heard many people on CNN and MSNBC say that Trump was "petty" for revoking the security clearance of one of his critics. How do they know its petty? How do they know that Trump isn't planning on authorizing some very disturbing clandestine operations and doesn't need someone who is critical of him reading about it?

If Obama did this no one would be saying it was "petty". Imagine if Clinton did this during the Whitewater investigation or Nixon did this after Watergate.

This is certainly every bit as chilling as what McCarthy did. What an insult to characterize what McCarthy did as "petty". And words matter. If the President is indeed "petty" then suing him over this would also be deemed petty. This is not simply a constitutional matter and a first amendment matter, it could very well be a national security issue.

Breaking News: Russian hackers appear to have a new target: conservative U.S. think tanks that have broken with President Trump, a report by Microsoft found. In a report scheduled for release on Tuesday, Microsoft Corporation said that it detected and seized websites that were created in recent weeks by hackers linked to the Russian unit formerly known as the G.R.U.

The sites appeared meant to trick people into thinking they were clicking through links managed by the Hudson Institute and the International Republican Institute, but were secretly redirected to web pages created by the hackers to steal passwords and other credentials.

Manafort guilty; Cohen guilty. And Cohen implicates Trump. Trump may have to testify under oath after all. What do you think?

I agree with Trump "its a disgrace". I'm glad he is ashamed of his actions and associations with felons.

I also agree with Giuliani that the charges do not name Trump, that needs to be rectified now that we have Cohen's confession. Kudos for Giuliani pointing this out.

I think the best thing for the country is for Trump to resign so that he can focus his full attention on his legal woes. Especially since he has already confirmed that he was the one that directed Michael Cohen to make that payment and his lawyer Giuliani has also confirmed that he was the one that reimbursed Cohen. It is nice that in this case Cohen, Trump and Giuliani all agree about Trump's involvement in these felonies. The good news is that Pence is not implicated in any of this.

Why Trump Supporters Believe He Is Not Corrupt
What the president’s supporters fear most isn’t the corruption of American law, but the corruption of America’s traditional identity.
