RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR: LIST OF TRUMP OFFICIALS I MET IS SO LONG IT WOULD TAKE 20 MINUTES TO NAME THEM ALL
The former Russian ambassador at the heart of the Trump-Russia election meddling allegations said Wednesday it would take him more than “20 minutes” to name all of the president’s former campaign team members he has spoken with, while again denying he was involved in any foul play.

Vice President Pence’s claim that U.S. spy agencies found no impact from Russian meddling
However, a January 2017 assessment from the U.S. intelligence community — which includes the CIA, FBI, NSA and other agencies — contradicts Pence’s claim. The spy agencies concluded with “high confidence” that Putin had ordered an interference campaign, but they stopped short of saying whether it worked.
“We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election,” according to the assessment.

If Trump has nothing to hide, why is he so soft on Russia?
Robert Mueller’s surprise indictment of a baker’s dozen of Russians provides an opportunity for the White House press corps to harness the power of repetition. Every media availability should begin with the same question: “Mr President, if your claim that there was no collusion with Russia is correct, then why do you refuse to condemn Vladimir Putin or enforce sanctions against Russia?”
The latest two year budget that skyrockets Pentagon and domestic spending by at least $320 billion is laying the foundation for a major economic disaster for the future of the USA.
Perversely and counter intuitively, the spike in defence spending will not solve the military's readiness problems.
There is no shortage of pundits, politicians and military officers issuing dire warnings that the military has been pushed past the breaking point and that only an infusion of massive sums of money can fix it. The military has been stressed but the primary cause is not a lack of funding. The culprit is overuse.
Readiness has suffered becasue of 17 consecutive years of overextension on combat missions around the world- peripheral missions focussed more on spreading demicracy and nation building than with US national security
A little read gov't report found that over and above the $20 Trillion debt the USA currently has, there is more than double that hanging over citizens heads.
The FY2016 Financial Report of the United States Government reported that projected expenditures " for scheduled benefits for Social Security, Medicare and other social insurance programs over 75 years was expected to "exceed projected revenues by approx $46.6 trillion US dollars". A Forbes magazine article claims the true level of unfunded liabilities is closer to $210 trillion US dollars.
It is therefore an urgent national security imperative to address the debt. In 2010 then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullen, correctly warned that the "most significant threat to our national security is our debt". Not China, not Russia, not North Korea, nor radical Islamic fighters, but the National debt.

Trump is helping to undermine US democracy. That's just what Russia wants
Wittingly or not, President Donald Trump spent the Presidents Day weekend doing the Kremlin's work.
It may be months before Americans learn whether special counsel Robert Mueller will validate or reject allegations that Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Moscow's election meddling operation.
