Trump: "Inconceivable" that
Cohen would tape conversation
In a Saturday morning tweet, President Trump went after Michael Cohen for allegedly taping their discussionabout a potential payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal who claimed she had an affair with Trump, calling the taping "inconceivable" and "perhaps illegal." Trump stood by his claim that he has done nothing wrong.
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrumpInconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) - almost unheard of. Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client - totally unheard of & perhaps illegal. The good news is that your favorite President did nothing wrong!
‘Are you f’n kidding me?!’ Benghazi survivor Kris Paronto drops MOAB on Hillary and it’s not pretty
There are some political discussions Hillary Clinton should just sit out, with the treatment of US diplomats at the very top of that list.
But sanctimonious liberals are nothing if not tone deaf and Hills weighed in on reports that President Donald Trump considered allowing Russia to question US diplomats — only to be smacked right between the eyes by Kris Paranto, the CIA security contractor on the ground that fateful night in Benghazi.
Hillary Clinton ✔@HillaryClintonAmbassador @McFaul is a patriot who has spent his career standing up for America. To see the White House even hesitate to defend a diplomat is deeply troubling.
The former U.S. Army Ranger was quick to respond to Clinton’s tweet, and it wasn’t pretty.
“Are you f’n kidding me @HillaryClinton ?!!! You left Ambassador Stevens and us to die in Benghazi then spewed lie after lie to the family members of my dead teammates and to the world to cover it up and now you have the nerve to talk about defending diplomats?! You are disgusting!” he tweeted.

Paranto, whose nickname was Tanto, is a co-author of the book, “13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi.”
He lost two teammates on Sept. 11, 2012, when the American consulate was attacked by Islamic extremists — an attack Clinton and President Barack Obama claimed was a response to an anti-Islamic video.
With the help of a complicit media, Hillary Clinton and Team Obama have moved on with no accountability for the first U.S. ambassador, and three others, being killed in the line of duty since 1979.
Poll: Americans Don’t Give A Hoot About So-Called Russian Collusion
By Bre Payton
An overwhelming majority of Americans don’t think the ongoing probe into whether Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian officials to steal the presidency from Hillary Clinton is that important, according to a new Gallup poll.
A record-breaking number of Americans (22 percent) think immigration is the most important problem facing the United States, while 19 percent say dissatisfaction with the U.S. government is the biggest problem and 7 percent think racism is the most important issue.
A combined total of 16 percent of Americans list unifying the country, lack of respect for one another, and the economy in general as the most important issues. The other issues that make it to the top of the list are health care (according to 3 percent of Americans), and ethics and morality (according to another 3 percent of those surveyed).
The ongoing probe to investigate to what extent Russia was involved in Trump’s electoral victory in 2016 was nowhere on the list of the top eight issues most Americans (70 percent) say are the most important ones the United States is facing.
Of the Republican voters surveyed, 35 percent thought immigration was the most important issue. Of Independent voters, immigration topped the charts, but a much smaller plurality (22 percent) said this was the most important issue.
Of the Democratic voters surveyed, a dissatisfaction with government was the most important issue, with 35 percent of Democratic voters naming that as their top issue. In second place among Democratic voters was immigration, with 18 percent of Democratic voters saying that is the top issue.
A more advanced breakdown of the issues is available here, but this list does not yet include numbers from the survey results from this July. Between February and April 2018, a mere 1 percent of Americans thought the situation with Russia was the most important. In May and June, less than 1 percent of Americans thought the ongoing situation with Russia was the top issue.
What they're saying: The buzz around "Trump Derangement Syndrome"
By Haley Britzky

In today's hyper-polarized political climate, a formerly-used term has come back into rotation to describe those with serious disdain for the president: "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
The big picture: This isn't the first episode of wide-spread "derangement;" the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer coined the term "Bush Derangement System" in 2003. And, of course, it made its rounds when Barack Obama took office.
What they're saying:
Whoopi Goldberg and Fox News host Jeanine Pirro got into an argument on "The View" Thursday when Pirro accused Goldberg of having Trump Derangement Syndrome, the Washington Post reports.
-
Goldberg said: "Listen, I don't have 'Trump Derangement' — let me tell you what I have. I'm tired of people starting a conversation with ‘Mexicans are liars and rapists.’ ... [C]learly you don’t watch the show, so you don’t know that I don’t suffer from that. What I suffer from is the inability to figure out how to fix this."
-
Pirro said: "You know what’s horrible? ... When people who shouldn't be here end up murdering the children of American citizens."
President Trump tweeted:
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrumpSome people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!
7:27 AM - Jul 18, 2018
Sen. Rand Paul cited Trump Derangement Syndrome when he objected to legislation by Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday.
Sen. @RandPaul: "Trump derangement syndrome has officially come to the Senate. The hatred for the President is so intense that partisans would rather risk war than give diplomacy a chance."

The fatal duck boat tragedy in Missouri that killed 17 on Thursday could have been prevented, director of the University of Georgia's Atmospheric Science Program, Dr. Marshall Shepherd, writes in Forbes.
The big picture: President of Ripley Entertainment Inc., which owns the duck boat tours, said that the storm responsible for capsizing the boat "came out of nowhere," per CNN. But a thunderstorm warning was issued around Branson, where the incident occurred, approximately 30 minutes before the boat sank.

Warning signs
-
The storm was traveling at 55 mph before it reached the lake, CNN reports. The highest wind gusts in the area clocked in at 63 mph.
-
The severe thunderstorm had been forecast for days. Shepherd points out that the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center warned of "thunderstorm clusters" and "severe wind risk" on Tuesday, two days before the incident.
-
There were life jackets on board, but Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader didn't confirm if passengers were wearing them, Reuters reports.
Kevin Kloesel@texasembassyWhat they're saying
-
Shepherd writes: "It is 2018, not 1901. The meteorological community has advanced weather satellites, weather radar and models. Storms like this do not 'come out of nowhere.'"
-
Meteorologist at the University of Oklahoma, Kevin Kloesel, agreed that the storm did not come "out of nowhere."
Meteorologist Brian Monahan — from WSB-Atlanta, an ABC affiliate — tweeted: "Absolutely negligent to have put that boat in the water. This severe weather threat was forecast for DAYS."
Nancy Pelosi Slams Trump for Inviting Vladimir Putin to Washington

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) slammed President Donald Trump on Friday for inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to Washington, D.C., this fall.
Nancy Pelosi Slams Trump for Inviting Vladimir Putin to Washington
Sana / Associated House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) slammed President Donald Trump on Friday for inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to Washington, D.C., this fall.
The notion that President Trump would invite a tyrant to Washington is beyond belief. Putin’s ongoing attacks on our elections and on Western democracies and his illegal actions in Crimea and the rest of Ukraine deserve the fierce, unanimous condemnation of the international community, not a VIP ticket to our nation’s capital.
Pelosi also issued a warning to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI), telling him not to invite Putin to address Congress — often a courtesy extended to visiting foreign leaders:
President Trump’s frightened fawning over Putin is an embarrassment, and a grave threat to our democracy. An invitation to address a Joint Meeting of Congress should be bipartisan and Speaker Ryan must immediately make clear that there is not — and never will be — an invitation for a thug like Putin to address the United States Congress.
In 2007, shortly after becoming Speaker of the House, Pelosi traveled to Syria to meet with dictator Bashar al-Assad (above), to show that the U.S. was capable of using diplomacy and not merely war as a tool of foreign policy in the Middle East.
Assad, already a brutal dictator, went on to become a mass murderer, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the ongoing Syrian civil war.
More recently, Pelosi claimed falsely last year that she had never met with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Photo evidence proved otherwise.
Pelosi plans to return as Speaker if Democrats win the House of Representatives in the November midterm elections.

10-Year-Old Somali Girl Dies After Female Genital Mutilation
JOHANNESBURG (AP) – A 10-year-old girl has bled to death after undergoing female genital mutilation in Somalia, an activist said, a rare confirmed death in the country with the world’s highest rate of the practice.
The girl died in a hospital on Monday, two days after her mother took her to a traditional circumciser in a remote village outside Dhusamareb town in central Galmudug state, Hawa Aden Mohamed with the Galkayo Education Center for Peace and Development said in a statement.
“The circumciser is suspected to cut an important vein in the course of the operation,” Mohamed said.
About 98 percent of women and girls in the Horn of Africa nation undergo female genital mutilation, according to the United Nations. While Somalia’s constitution prohibits the practice, Mohamed said no laws have been enacted to ensure that those who perform the circumcisions are punished.
Lawmakers are “afraid of losing their political clout among the all-powerful conservative traditional and religious groups bent at retaining the practice,” she said.
Health workers have warned against the risks of the practice which in most cases the external genitalia is removed and the vagina is sewn almost closed.
Despite campaigns in Somalia against the practice it is “clouded in secrecy, so reducing it has been a massive challenge,” said Brendan Wynne with the New York-based Donor Direct Action, which connects women’s activists worldwide.
Over 200 million women and girls in 30 countries across three continents have experienced genital mutilation, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said earlier this year, calling it a “gross violation of the human rights of women and girls.”
The U.N. Population Fund projects that the estimated 3.9 million girls subjected to genital cutting every year will rise to 4.6 million by 2030 due to expected population growth unless urgent action is taken.
Fact Check: Has the US interfered in foreign elections?
Emily Larsen, DCNF
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday that the U.S. has, like Russia, tried to influence many foreign elections.
Verdict: True
The U.S. attempted to influence over 80 foreign elections from 1946 to 2000, sometimes secretly.
Fact Check:
Paul mentioned the U.S.’s history of attempting to influence other elections in advance of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday in Helsinki, Finland. News outlets asked Trump whether he would hold Putin accountable for Russian meddling in the 2016 election by asking him to hand indicted Russians over to the U.S.
Image: WikiMediaSpecial counsel Robert Mueller’s office recently obtained indictments against 12 Russians accused of stealing emails from Democrats and releasing them to the public. An additional 13 Russians suspected of posing as Americans to organize pro-Trump rallies and paying for political advertisements on social media were indicted in February.
“I think really we mistake our response if we think it’s about accountability from the Russians,” Paul said on CNN’s “State Of The Union.” “They are another country. They are going to spy on us. They do spy on us. They are going to interfere in our elections. We also do the same.”
Loch K. Johnson, a professor at the University of Georgia who began his career investigating the CIA as a Senate committee staffer in the 1970s, told The New York Times that the U.S. has certainly tried to influence foreign elections.
“We’ve been doing this kind of thing since the CIA was created in 1947,” Johnson said. “We’ve used posters, pamphlets, mailers, banners — you name it. We’ve planted false information in foreign newspapers. We’ve used what the British call ‘King George’s cavalry’: suitcases of cash.”
Paul cited research from Dov H. Levin, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Politics and Strategy at Carnegie Mellon University. Levin identified 81 instances in which the U.S. interfered in foreign elections from 1946 to 2000. He could confirm that Russia interfered in 36 elections over the same period.
“One well-known example is in the case of Italy in 1948, the United States was really worried that the Italian Communist Party, the PCI, would come to power in Italy, which was seen as very likely to lead to Italy becoming a communist dictatorship and eventually becoming a Soviet ally,” Levin told The Daily Caller News Foundation. A declassified National Security Council report recommended that the U.S. end economic aid to Italy if it did not combat Communist control.
More recently, the U.S. spent millions of dollars to influence the election in Yugoslavia in 2000 and unseat its socialist leader, Slobodan Milošević.
“We gave them tens of millions of dollars in campaign funding, we sent in a campaigning adviser who basically did the polling for them,” Levin said. “We also trained thousands of campaign personnel in various campaigning methods – how to get out the vote, and so forth.”
The U.S. paid for 2.5 million stickers with the slogan “He’s Finished” and 5,000 cans of spray paint. “One of the techniques of the opposition’s election campaigns in Serbia and Yugoslavia was spraying slogans on peoples’ houses,” Levin said. “So we also gave them 5,000 spray cans to spray campaign slogans throughout Serbia.”
“Naturally, the consideration of breaking laws or not when it came to these types of interventions was not a major concern for secret or covert intervention,” Levin said. But he cautioned that instances of U.S. election interference are not directly comparable to Russia’s recent actions. “I do not see any moral equivalence between what Russia has done in 2016 and what we have done in past interventions in elections,” he said.
Steven L. Hall, the former chief of Russian operations for the CIA, told TheNYT that while U.S. actions in recent decades have not been morally equivalent to those of Russia, Russia’s actions were not far outside the norm of expected behavior. “If you ask an intelligence officer, did the Russians break the rules or do something bizarre, the answer is no, not at all,” Hall said.
Levin’s report excluded actions taken independently by private citizens or non-state actors (such as private campaign consultants), instances where the U.S. or Russia tried to delegitimize elections as a whole and policy decisions that could have unintentionally affected the election results in another country.
He does not list any U.S. cyber election intervention methods comparable to Russian cyber hacks in the 2016 election, in part because the report only examines elections before the year 2000. But he said that the U.S. did use pre-internet “analog” methods which were similar in design.
The CIA, for example, planted agents in Japanese socialist youth groups, student groups and labor groups in the 1950s and 1960s. Levin said that informants during the 1958 Japanese election gave “dirt” on people in the Socialist Party to the U.S., and then the U.S. gave that information to the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). One LDP leader told TheNYT in 1994 that he had a “deep relationship” with the CIA.
Image: FlickrLevin categorized instances of spying on opposing campaigns, spreading damaging information and encouraging the breakup of rival political coalitions as “dirty tricks.” Russia favored influencing elections with these tactics, he said.
He expects that foreign election interference will become more common. “The use of force is becoming more and more expensive for countries while at the same time opportunities to intervene in this way are expanding,” he said.
GOP operative linked to alleged Russian spy Maria Butina laughed off allegations of NRA infiltration
GOP operative linked to alleged Russian spy Maria Butina laughed off allegations of NRA infiltration
Chuck Ross, DCNF
-
Republican operative was in a relationship and lived with alleged Russian spy Maria Butina. The couple were last seen together just days before her arrest.
-
Erickson laughed off allegations that Butina was attempting to infiltrate the NRA.
-
Erickson is widely believed to be “U.S. Person 1” in Butina’s indictment. The government believes the unidentified person was ‘instrumental’ in helping Butina gain access to the NRA and GOP political circles.
Longtime Republican political operative Paul Erickson has all but disappeared following the arrest and indictment of Maria Butina, an alleged Russian spy who Erickson grew close to and lived with in recent years.
Image: Paul Erickson, ScreenshotErickson is widely believed to be the “U.S. Person 1” included in an indictment against Butina that was handed down on Tuesday.
Butina, 29, is accused of acting as a foreign agent of Russia during attempts to infiltrate American political groups. Butina and one of her associates, Russian central banker Alexander Torshin, grew close in recent years to leaders with the National Rifle Association. And both Butina and Erickson, who were reportedly in a relationship, were known to frequent Republican events over the past several years.
How Erickson fits into the alleged conspiracy — whether he was a witting or unwitting participant — remains a mystery.
Erickson, 56, has not responded to multiple requests for interviews from The Daily Caller News Foundation and numerous other outlets. But the Republican activist did provide interviews to TheDCNF late last year, following reports about emails he sent to the Trump campaign.
In the interviews, Erickson laughed off allegations that Butina was attempting to infiltrate the NRA. He also dismissed allegations of collusion involving Russians and the Trump campaign.
Asked during a November interview about allegations that Butina and Torshin’s relationship with the NRA, Erickson chuckled and responded: “Americans can’t infiltrate the NRA. Have you been down to their headquarters? That’s pretty funny.”
“The impression I have at the whole thing is that the Democrats now surrendered on collusion. I think they’re trying to annotate the report by just running down as footnotes anything that resembled an approach by anything Russian to anything Trump or Clinton,” he said.
