She helped move 4 - 7 TONS of cocaine over three years.

She made phone calls.

Like any wholesale / retail supplier does. Low level people drive product to the store and stock the shelves. Higher level managers hire, fire, assign routes, arrange warehousing, etc.

She was a former Fedex exec who lost her job due to compulsive gambling. Looks like she used her former job skills to move a lucrative but illegal product. Not a granny back in the 90's either.

I don't care that she's not going to spend life in jail. But she wasn't some little almost innocent granny. She was an important distributer for a Colombian cartel She deserved a long sentence and it was just that she served 19 years.

After spending over a year bashing NFL protesters (and making such protests more popular and meaningful by focusing attention on them ie when Trump started it was basically one or two guys) ......

Trump is now claiming they have a righteous cause and he wants to do something for them. Throw some pardons to whoever they pick.

Trump: “And I’m going to ask them to recommend to me people that were unfairly treated. . and I’m going to take a look at those applications. And if I find, and my committee finds that they are unfairly treated, then we will pardon them or at least let them out.”

What committee?

There's no committee, just WH employees wasting time doing the trivial bidding of a President uninterested in the boring and hard work of being President.

He said his staff was examining some 3,000 cases of people who might deserve clemency.

“I am going to ask all of those people to recommend to me, because that’s what they’re protesting - people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system. And I understand that,” Trump said. “They’ve seen a lot of abuse and they’ve seen a lot of unfairness.”

Get that? The NFL protesters he's been calling unpatriotic and Un-American were right all along. And he's gonna address their righteous cause.

Screw the national debt, nuclear proliferation, all that boring crap. They tell me Medicaid is going to be insolvent in less than a decade or something .. yawn. I don't use it so so what. Let the next President do something about it. I'll just ask Putey Poo to run the boring parts of the world for us while I MAGA ..... by pardoning people who've been unfairly treated like I have been .... now everyone get busy finding more people to sign pardons or commutations for. They take my picture every time while a celebrity stands beside my desk smiling. Great, makes me look so important and revered.

Especially look for people persecuted by Mueller. Gotti, is he still alive? How about the Enron guys ... Lay, Skilling, Fastow, Fastow's wife, Arthur Anderson .... I'll pardon them all. Overreach, over-sentencing. Very unfair! How about Jared the Subway guy. The FBI spied on him for years making a case. And he's suing the Feds now.

I don't believe this thing Mika Brzezinski said about Trump:

Mika Brzezinski even claimed that she knows someone who spoke to Trump about living at the White House, and they said: “Donald Trump’s biggest complaint was that he’s not allowed to watch porn in the White House.”

What's wrong with that claim? He's the PRESIDENT, no one is going to stop him from watching porn in the WH.

We know he loves it cause he paid a pornster g/f $130K, he had cameos in three soft porn Playboy videos, he had Melania pose for nude photos (that's porn, folks) on his personal plane. During the campaign, he tweeted that people should go watch a fake porn video purporting to be of former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado. It wasn't her but he wanted people to think so and he clearly watched it before telling his supporters to go view it.

"Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?" read a missive from Trump posted on Twitter at 5:30 a.m.

I will reiterate, unlike Lying Sack of **** King Donnie the Vile, Alicia Machado has no sex tape.


We also know he doesn't like being told no. Being told he can't do something actually compels him to do it. So we can be sure that after he heard what Mika said, he went right ahead and called up some porn.

U.S. officials prepare to thwart Chinese spying at Singapore summit

The Chinese have used everything from bugged hotel keys to “friendship” pins to spy on Americans — and they’re getting better at it all the time.

nbcnews.com

Nice that President Treason has saved ZTE. That's how you MAGA.

.......
Trump’s reported use of non-secure cell phones in the White House is a massive security risk, experts say. Because smart phones can be turned into bugs and location tracking devices, Obama was not allowed to have one until 2016, and even then, he joked about how little functionality it had.

It’s been widely reported that Trump has rebuffed efforts by security officials to get him to use a secure mobile device, and he has been using standard-issue smart phones for Twitter and to place calls.

The Washington Post reported this week that the Department of Homeland Security has found evidence of the use of sophisticated technology to intercept cell phone calls outside the White House, a type of technology that is available commercially and U.S. officials say Chinese and other foreign intelligence agencies regularly use.

One former senior U.S. official said the Chinese have good intelligence collection operations in Singapore.

“What they would want to get is to know what people in the meetings said and what happened,” the official said, and to get inside U.S. government officials’ phones and computers.

.............

[ Heh, a lot of the leaking at the WH might be from either Dumbass Donnie himself, his rich friends he talks to on an unsafe phone, OR from hostile foreign intel agencies out to drive the Prez and his staff battier than they are naturally. What a pathetic clown he is .... damn, I'm so glad I don't have to defend that b*stard. ]
