On 'slow' news days like today, they have to report something, Walter. I just checked the sky, it's still intact.

Drumpf told NBC’s Lester Holt in a televised interview that he had the Russia investigation in mind when he decided to fire Comey.
“And in fact when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said ‘you know, this Russia thing with Drumpf and Russia is a made-up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won,’” Drumpf said.

The United States has signed a major arms sale deal with Qatar, a week after President Donald Trump accused the Gulf nation of sponsoring terrorism. Experts suggested that the deal could make Washington more supportive towards Qatar amid the ongoing diplomatic crisis.
On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that the Pentagon had finalized the sale of 36 F-15QA Eagle fighter jets to Qatar for $12 billion. The Pentagon issued a press statement saying the sale would increase US-Qatari security cooperation.
Earlier, during his visit to Riyadh, President Trump met with the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Trump said that they discussed a range of issues, including arms sales.
Soon after, a major diplomatic crisis erupted between Qatar and other Gulf nations. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and about a half-dozen other countries cut off diplomatic relations with Doha, accusing it of sponsoring terror groups and destabilizing the Middle East.
"There is a conspiracy version that the Qatar crisis was provoked by the negative results of the deal for the US," Dmitry Egorchenkov, an expert at the Institute for Strategic Studies and Prognosis at Moscow-based RUDN University, told RT.
According to Egorchenkov, the deal was prepared long ago and the first official statements about its finalization were made in late 2016. Then, however, progress stalled.
"The purchase of such expensive US weapons is not a priority for Qatar. The reason is that a US military base is stationed in the country. The base already guarantees security," the expert said.

Qatar has signed a deal to buy $12 billion-worth of McDonnell Douglas F-15QA Eagle air superiority fighters from the United States. Speaking to Radio Sputnik, Birol Baskan, an assistant professor at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar, said that the deal clears Doha's reputation as a terror state.
On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that the Pentagon had finalized the sale of 36 F-15QA Eagle to Qatar for $12 billion.
Observers rushed to point out that the deal was completed in spite of the fact that US President Donald Trump had earlier criticized Qatar, even going so far as to accuse the state of supporting terrorism. The Pentagon issued a press statement saying the sale would increase US-Qatari security cooperation. The same day, two US Navy vessels arrived in Doha for a joint exercise with the Qatari Navy.
Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and about half-a-dozen other countries broke off diplomatic relations with Doha, accusing it of sponsoring terror groups and destabilizing the Middle East.
Asked to comment on the F-15 deal, international politics expert and Georgetown University professor Birol Baskan said that it was certainly significant.
The false flag dispute seems to be the justification for a major arms build-up with none of the currebt supply being used against anybody at the moment let alone against old terror partners.
Trump should have somebody trustworthy watching his back. It's pretty much down to his current wife and Baron.

The Law Society of Alberta suggested I do that so he could investigate my own Lawyer. The Justice system is a shit-storm in action. I'm also pretty sure most people are aware of that deep down. It needs to be brought to the surface.
Trump-Russia inquiry: Vice-President Pence hires lawyer - BBC News
Mr Cullen, who is chairman of McGuireWoods LLP law firm, represented high profile clients such as former US congressman Tom DeLay and Elin Nordegren, ex-wife of golfer Tiger Woods.
He was also involved into the Iran-Contra and Watergate investigations.
An excellent choice with relevant experience.

Tillerson: US Working for Regime Change in Iran
Says Specifics of US Policy Are Still Under Development Jason Ditz Posted on June 15, 2017Categories NewsTags Iran, Tillerson Speaking to the House Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was asked about whether or not the Trump Administration’s policy is one of trying to impose regime change on Iran. While Tillerson insisted that the specifics of administration policy on Iran are still under development, he did confirm that the goal remains regime change.
Exactly how they expect to pull that off remains to be seen, but Tillerson said the US policy as it stands is to rely on “elements inside of Iran” who can be supported toward the end goal of regime change, with the hope it would be a “peaceful transition of that government.”
That’s unlikely, as to the extent US officials have shown interest in supporting “elements” in Iran at all, it’s groups with long-standing links to terrorism like the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MeK). The actual reformists within Iran’s political system tend to be vilified by the US, and even when they do take power, as they have now, US hostility tends to undermine their ability to normalize ties with the West.
Actual regime change is not particularly realistic as a goal of US policy, and taking that position has in recent years been done mostly to placate hawks who have been arguing for decades for an outright US invasion. They are kept at least somewhat in line by the dream that some day, there’s going to be one of those classic color-coded revolution to install a pro-US government in Iran.
