The father of a victim of the Parkland, Fla., high school shooting slammed President Trump on Sunday for highlighting the privacy fence around former President Obama's home as part of a push for border wall funding.

"You f--ng lunatic. Are you seriously trying to put our former President at risk?" Fred Guttenberg tweeted.

Guttenberg's daughter, Jaime, was killed at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in February. Fred has since become an outspoken advocate for stricter gun laws and a critic of the president.

His criticism on Sunday came in response to a tweet in which Trump cited a "wall" built around the Obama's home in Washington, D.C., to justify the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

One ex-federal prosecutor said he is beginning to believe conspiracy with Russian election meddling is not the most serious crime Mueller is investigating.

Republican nominee in late July 2016, the FBI warned him that foreign adversaries, including Russia, would attempt to spy on and infiltrate his campaign.

It was a standard briefing, the kind routinely given to presidential candidates, capped with an admonition that Trump should call the FBI if he learned of any unusual approaches from foreigners.

But there was something the FBI didn't tell him.

The bureau just recently had opened counterintelligence investigations into four Trump advisers suspected of improper interactions with Russians — a fact, then-secret, that emerged much later in Congressional testimony.

An all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media. Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides). Makes sense to me!

Jeb Bush just talked about my border proposal to build a "fence." It's not a fence, Jeb, it's a WALL, and there's a BIG difference!

In August 2017, shortly after John F. Kelly became White House chief of staff, he convened crucial meetings on Afghanistan at President Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J.

Top officials from the Pentagon and the CIA, the director of national intelligence, diplomats and lawmakers huddled with Trump as Kelly and others urged him not to give up in Afghanistan.

“When I first took over, he was inclined to want to withdraw from Afghanistan,” Kelly recounted during an exclusive two-hour interview with the Los Angeles Times.

“He was frustrated. It was a huge decision to make ... and frankly there was no system at all for a lot of reasons — palace intrigue and the rest of it — when I got there.”

A Boca Raton cop who was fired last spring over racist banter, offensive jokes, use of the N-word and lying while under oath has gotten his job back.

It is Jeremy Codling’s “last chance to salvage his employment,” according to a disciplinary agreement that demoted him from sergeant to officer, downgraded his pay accordingly and required him to write a letter of apology to the black officer who initiated the complaint that led to Codling’s termination.

Nine days after Codling was fired, investigators found pornographic images on his department-issued laptop. They also discovered a succession of pornographic websites that someone had viewed while logged on as Codling, records show.

The 40-year-old first joined the Boca Raton Police Department on May 23, 2005.

He lost his job March 5 after an internal investigation found that he was guilty of conduct unbecoming a police officer, harassment by making inappropriate and offensive comments and being untruthful while being questioned under oath about his behavior, records show.

...

“I want you to know that I am sorry for offending you with anything I may have said or done; It was never my intent to upset you,” Codling wrote. “Hopefully we can both move forward and have a good working relationship at the Boca Raton Police Department.”

...

When Codling was fired, he earned $47.88 an hour. Under the terms of his disciplinary agreement, his pay was cut to $45.05, documents show.

When Codling returns to the force, he will be required to attend sensitivity training.
