with a passion and the ONLY reason is her color and gender.

A vicious, vile, dangerous traitor who HATES more than half the country is in the WH.

Now just IMAGINE if a democrat acted like that.

LAWYER UP YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!

and respect the job he is doing. He does it well. There are fewer people who would demean him than would praise him for hanging in there and doing such a good job.

Sam Clovis...why you ask? - This acting AG Mark Whitiker....was Sam Clovis campaign chair in 2014 run for IOWA state treasurer....

Clovis unsuccessfully ran for Iowa state treasurer in the 2014 elections. He was national co-chair of Donald Trump's campaign in the 2016 presidential election. In January 2017, Trump appointed Clovis a senior White House adviser to the USDA.

- thank goodness, Clovis removed himself from this appointment...I think Clovis was ill-prepared..especially due to the fact - he had no knowledge of the USDA....(sarcasm thingy)

AND, Sam Clovis was a grand jury witness in the Mueller investigation.....I suspect everything will be done to require Whitaker to recuse....right??????

....to the White House Correspondents Association, as it used to be, and taken away from the politicos of the press office. Further, access should be codified in law, as access is for reporters who cover Congress.

See the FB page "People's Bill Of Rights For White House Transparency" -- a measure to strengthen the watchdog press against intimidation and abuse.
