		Mueller just requested new documents from the DOJ that could spell trouble for Trump and Sessions
 Business Insider, Nov 20 2017 2:52 PM
 
 Special counsel Robert Mueller has requested thousands of documents from the Department of Justice related to the firing of former FBI Director James Comey and the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The documents could help Mueller determine whether President Donald Trump tried to obstruct justice when he fired Comey in May. Comey was leading the FBI's investigation into Russia's election interference and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow during the election.
 
 The request for emails between the White House and the DOJ related to Sessions' recusal could help Mueller determine why Trump has projected anger that Sessions relinquished control over the campaign-related investigations to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in March. The recusal came after it was revealed that Sessions had at least two meetings with Russia's ambassador to the US during the campaign and failed to disclose them. "Earlier reports indicated that Trump exploded when he found out about his recusal," said former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti. "That could be evidence of his state of mind because it is a highly unusual reaction to a recusal decision."

		'Do you think they'll get the president?': Kushner is reportedly worried as the Russia investigation heats up
 Business Insider, Nov 22 2017 1:12 PM
 
 Jared Kushner, White House senior adviser and President Donald Trump's son-in-law, is said to be increasingly worried about the size and scope of the Russia investigation. Kushner reportedly asked a friend whether the probe would grow big enough to "get the president." Trump is under investigation for obstruction-of-justice related to James Comey's firing as FBI director and for his role in crafting a misleading statement his son, Donald Trump Jr., released when it emerged he met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer and lobbyist at Trump Tower in June 2016. Kushner is a central figure in both those events. He attended the Trump Tower meeting, along with Paul Manafort and Trump Jr., and he "pushed" Trump to fire Comey, according to The Wall Street Journal.

		Trump said he's been on more Time magazine covers than anyone else. That is a lie. Today he said someone from Time called him to arrange a photo shoot because he would "probably" be Time's Person Of The Year this year. That, too, is a lie. Trump seldom tells the truth about anything. If he was Pinocchio, his nose would be at least 5,000 miles long and still growing.

		Excerpt from a November 25 New York Times story:
 
 "The new White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly, has proved less permissive than his predecessor. A retired four-star general who has imposed more order on a chaotic White House since taking over in July, Kelly has made clear that Kushner must fit within a chain of command. 'Jared works for me,' he has told associates. According to three advisers to the president, Kelly has even discussed the possibility of Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, departing the West Wing by the end of the year."
