    Has he changed his mind about grabbing ***** since then?

    He paid Stormy off during the campaign. That's the issue.

    He never paid Stormy...he asked his attorney to prepare a legal contract, his attorney never did, and his attorney paid money himself without executing the contract. That's why his attorney is in prison

    He's in jail, in part, for doing what Bonespurs told him to do.

    Sure he was running against him. I doubt most people that run against someone say the other guy is better suited for the job. That sort of defeats the purpose of a campaign

    Comey also praised Barr when he was nominated by Trump.

    “I like and respect Bill Barr,” Comey said after leaving a day-long congressional hearing on Capitol Hill. “I know he’s an institutionalist who cares deeply about the integrity of the Justice Department.”

    “Bill Barr is a talented person who was a good attorney general the first time. I liked him very much then and I think he’ll serve the Justice Department well,” said Comey."

    Sure it's totally relevant...there is nothing illegal about asking your attorney to create a contract.

    If Cohen had that intent that was Cohen's intent....that intent doesn't translate to anyone else.

    https://www.chicagotribune.com/opin...rump-russia-thiessen-0301-20190228-story.html

    "
    To the contrary, some of his testimony was exculpatory. While Cohen testified that Trump ordered him to pay off Stormy Daniels “as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws,” elsewhere in his testimony he declared that Trump did not care about winning the election. He said Trump saw the campaign as an “infomercial” for the Trump brand, adding, “He never expected to win the primary. He never expected to win the general election. The campaign — for him — was always a marketing opportunity.”

    Well, if Trump didn’t care about winning, that undermines the case that the payments were a campaign finance violation. Indeed, Cohen offered evidence that Trump’s motivation was in fact keeping his affair from his wife. “He asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair, and to lie to his wife about it,” Cohen said. “Lying to the first lady is one of my biggest regrets. ... She did not deserve that.” Paying hush money because he did not want his wife to find out he was having an affair with a porn star is sleazy, but it is not a crime."

    OK. So there's "nothing illegal" about asking your lawyer to help you violate campaign finance laws.

    Got it.

    And Trump called murders who happen to be Illegal & Mexican, murderers. And he called rapists who happen to be illegal and Mexican, rapists. But that didn't stop the MSM and a host of Democrat leaders, from accusing Trump of calling ALL MEXICANS rapists and murders when he said nothing of the sort. Right?

    He also called the other people attending that stupid protest over a statue, "good people". Minutes and just a couple of sentences prior he excoriated the white supremacists and KKK, then started referring to the rest that were just observing, that there were good people on both sides....YET, that didn't stop the MSM and nearly every Democrat leader from accusing him of calling the KKK good people. See how details matter? Or do we follow the MSM motto and toss details out the window unless it fits the lies they're trying to peddle=)

    When he called them animals the usual hysterical left claimed he was calling all Mexicans animals. That is how the race card works for the left.

    He didn't say that he was "better suited" for the job; he called him a "kook" and specifically stated that Bonespurs was "unfit to be President".

    The statement has been taken out of context.

    Trump wasn't claiming she had a good record as secretary, just saying that people would be scrutinizing her record.

    Here's the statement:
    "And how did she do as secretary of state? Probably above and beyond everybody else and everything else."

    And now here's the statement in context:
    "But I think you'll be, you know, you'll be looking at the record of Hillary Clinton. And how did she do as secretary of state? Probably above and beyond everybody else and everything else. You'll be looking at her record and everybody else is, will be looking at her record."

    When he said "above and beyond everybody else and everything else", he was referring to critics looking at her record, not her performance.
    When Clinton will have to defend record as secretary of state, people would be scrutinizing that "above and beyond everybody else and everything else".

    So no source? Why didn't you just say that you have no proof of your BS claim?

    Your head must be killing you after those mental gymnastics.

    OMFG, Trump supporters will never admit when their dear leader says something they don't agree with.

    Just say it! He thought Hillary was outstanding as Secretary of State.

    Times change, people change, time changes.
    In the 90s, the R's were pushing through free trade agreements that sent many jobs out of country.

    I still hold to the view that his statement was taken out of context and misinterpreted.

    The 3rd sentence was related to the 1st sentence, not the 2nd.
