Daily Check-In 7/25/2017

Some of the events that happened in the last 24ish hours.

President Trump continues to berate USAG Jeff Sessions online, asking why he isn't going after HRC's emails. When Trump projects like this, it's usually because someone gave him bad news.

STAT and the APA have rescinded the Goldwater Rule in regards to Trump. This rule prevents psychologists and psychiatrists from discussing a public persons mental state without consulting with the person. The Goldwater rule goes back to the 1960's, as a direct result of doctors questioning the mental fitness of Barry Goldwater. Expect to see a lot more "Trump is sick" stories about his mental wellbeing.

The House passed their version of the Russian Sanctions bill by a vote of 419-3. Even the Falcons couldn't blow that big of a lead.

The Senate is trying to take away health care from millions of Americans to fund a tax cut.

Even more closed door meetings with Jared Kushner and the House Intelligence Committee.

Ivanka Trump lawyered up. More on why in the next session.

The Rumor Mill is working overtime today. Take everything in this section with a grain of salt.

NYAG Schneiderman is expanding the Enterprise Corruption case to include possible human trafficking charges against Trump's modeling agency. There was a significant Bust by Europol recently in which over 100 perpetrators were arrested and over 900 victims were rescued. (I'll explain how we got here in a later article.)

In the evening, an answer was given as to why Trump goes to Mar-a-lago so much … that's where his side piece lives. And yes, Melania knows. The divorce papers are already signed, and have been for a while.

As for why Ivanka lawyered up, she's in deep. She's not a bystander in this, but a ring leader. Her name was all over a bunch of shell companies that are being investigated for illegal gambling, she's involved with some of the meanest Kazakstan has to offer, and is supposedly one of the biggest money launderers for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Rumor Mill

Sometimes I'll talk about a story that isn't in the main stream media (MSM) yet. They might seem crazy, off the wall, a bit conspiratorial, or even flat-out, grab your tin foil hat bonkers. But some of these stories need to be reported. During 2017, there have been more than a few times when last month's rumor was today's news.

Hence, the Rumor Mill tag. These come from all sides, all places, and all people, but have not been confirmed by traditional journalists.

If you see this tag, take the news with a grain of salt.

Coming soon: The Grain-of-Salt-ometer, to identify how much salt to take with each story.
