I was wondering why I felt Deja Vu all over again about Trump's 13 Angry Democrats tweets?

Then it finally occurred to me:

Yes, I know I'm slow.

Now who are the 13 Dems?

And where in the world is Melanie, or Melania (or someone named something like that)!

of nefarious happenings. Supposedly she is alive and still resting after being released from the hospital following kidney surgery the other week.

instead of letting someone just see or interview her.

From your comment, I'm guessing you think the "kidney" procedure was much more involved than the procedure the rest of us peons would get from our insurance?

Or they are not just reporting it because they don't have to, because they happen to be named Trump?

It was just a statement from an anchor and was two sentences long/short. I think they needed to say something and this was all they could get out of the W House. It was like a blip, nothing more.

Excerpt

But what about Mueller’s team? Trump claims 13 of them are Democrats — angry ones. While it’s impossible to know whether they’re angry, it’s easy to tell whether they’re Democrats: check their political donations, which can easily be found in public records. Before we do, it’s probably germane to mention there are 18 top prosecutors on Mueller’s team, not 13. So Trump was lying about that, too.

Nevertheless, according to The Washington Post, only five of the 18 lawyers donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Philip Bump noted: “Of the 18 attorneys we identified on Mueller’s team, half gave no money to anyone, according to our analysis. Another five gave $1,000 or less. The one who gave the most also gave to two Republicans.” We don’t know if any of Mueller’s lawyers are registered Democrats. However, we know that eight gave money to Democrats, nine didn’t give money to anyone, and one of the lawyers gave money to candidates of both parties.
