McFarland testified she wasn't aware of Flynn contacts
Game over for McFarland?
K.T. McFarland, President Trump's former Deputy National Security Advisor testified in a Senate hearing that she knew nothing of Michael Flynn's contacts with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. However, she discussed those contacts at the time over email...
She testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July as part of the confirmation process, and was asked about Flynn and Kislyak's communications. She said she did not know anything about them.

Mueller goes after DOJ emails! Boom!
Things are heating up boys and girls!
Special Counsel sends wide-ranging request for documents to Justice Department
By MIKE LEVINE
Nov 19, 2017, 9:00 PM ET
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating whether President Donald Trump sought to obstruct a federal inquiry into connections between his presidential campaign and Russian operatives has now directed the Justice Department to turn over a broad array of documents, ABC News has learned.
In particular, Mueller's investigators are keen to obtain emails related to the firing of FBI Director James Comey and the earlier decision of Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from the entire matter, according to a source who has not seen the specific request but was told about it.
The latest move suggests the Special Counsel is still actively digging into, among other matters, whether Trump or any other administration official improperly tried to influence an ongoing investigation.
Who is laughing now, Sessions?! Hee hee.

Senator Hatch says Senate too divided to do healthcare

Exclusive: Senate too divided to keep up healthcare push - Senator Hatch
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch said on Monday that senators for now are too divided to keep working on healthcare overhaul legislation and that he and other senior Republicans will take that message to the White House.
President Donald Trump has been urging lawmakers not to drop the matter, despite a series of failed votes last week. "There's just too much animosity and we're too divided on healthcare," Hatch said in an interview with Reuters.
Interestingly, he also added this:
He said he would prefer Congress not appropriate cost-sharing subsidies that help make Obamacare plans affordable but added, "I think we’re going to have to do that."
