So serious question here.

Couldnt it be a thread to national security to allow a top Russian spy and his photographer with all his equipment into the oval office?

I hope it is safe to assume, the secret service scanned the oval office after the meeting for any spying devices left behind?

White House furious after being trolled with Russia Oval Office photos
The White House did not anticipate that the Russian government would allow its state news agency to post photographs of an Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the US, a White House official said.

Photos of Wednesday's meeting, taken by a Russian state news media photographer one day after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey amid questions about possible Trump campaign collusion with Moscow, were ultimately posted by Russia's news agency, TASS.
The White House did not post photos of the meeting although an official White House photographer was also in the room, the White House said. The State Department did post photos of Lavrov's meeting with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, but that was open to the press.

"They tricked us," an angry White House official said.
"That's the problem with the Russians -- they lie," the official added.
The Russians used the photos to troll the White House in its social media posts Wednesday. The Russian Foreign Ministry posted a photo of a smiling US President shaking hands with Lavrov on Twitter, adding strange and ironic optics to the questions already swirling around the White House over Comey's firing.

You'd imagine they have procedure for situations like that and remove any important information and sweep for bugs afterwards. That's assuming Trump isn't reporting to Russians anyway.

I thought so. I am sure the secret service was all over it.

The thought crossed my mind after seeing the Tweeted photo of Bannon in his office which had his white board in the back ground with the administrations 'to do' check list visible in the back ground.

That check list was there deliberately. It was a 'look at how much we've done!' kind of thing.

Lol @ only the media caring about the Comey story and the American people not being that interested in it.

I can tell you that this is what every I've spoken with is talking about right now.

Possibly covering up an investigation into an alleged Trump-Russia connection is a big fucking deal.

Russia is our enemy. They have been our enemy for over 70 years and they will continue to be our enemy.

This is a big fucking deal. Not just for the media, for everyone.

Spicer is in the dog house.

Reports are, Trump was furious over the way Spicer handled the media after Comey was fired. Apparently, Trump doesn't like it when is staff hide in the bushes to avoid the media.

Donald Trump claims he invented 'priming the pump' phrase
President Donald Trump took credit in an interview for coining the phrase "prime the pump," seemingly unaware that it was popularised during the Great Depression more than 80 years ago and has been used frequently ever since.

"I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good," Mr Trump told "The Economist" magazine in an interview published on Thursday. The interviewers refrained from correcting the president about a well-worn metaphor for generating faster growth.

Those who run the Merriam-Webster dictionary quickly tweeted that the phrase "priming the pump" has been around since the early 1800s.

Donald Trump says back-to-back trade calls from Canada, Mexico ‘an amazing thing’
“I was going to terminate NAFTA last week, I was all set,” Trump said in an interview with The Economist published Thursday morning.

“I was going to send them a letter … But the word got out, they called and they said, we would really love to … they called separately, but it was an amazing thing. They called separately 10 minutes apart.”

During those phone calls, the Canadian and Mexican leaders asked Trump whether he’d be willing to negotiate the tri-partisan trade deal rather than toss it out, the president said.

Donald Trump's tax law firm has 'deep' ties to Russia
The lawyers who wrote a letter saying President Trump had no significant business ties to Russia work for a law firm that has extensive ties to Russia and received a “Russia Law Firm of the Year” award in 2016.

Sheri Dillon and William Nelson, tax partners at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, which has served as tax counsel to Trump and the Trump Organization since 2005, wrote a letter in March released by the White House on Friday stating that a review of the last 10 years of Trump’s tax returns “do not reflect” ties to Russia “with a few exceptions.”
As for the firm’s presence in Russia, a firm spokesperson said that no lawyers from Morgan Lewis have handling any business dealings for Mr. Trump in Russia.

Dillon has never been to Russia and does no work there, the spokesperson said.

Jack Blum, a Washington tax lawyer who is an expert on white-collar financial crime and international tax evasion, called the Dillon letter “meaningless.”

Blum told ABC News that real estate projects, in particular, can be structured with partners and subsidiaries so that it would be easy to shield the identity of all involved. Trump’s tax returns would not show where all the money came from to finance these projects, he said.

“There’s no substance to it. The letter is just another puff of smoke,” Blum said. “It has no meaning at all. It’s just another way to not answer the question.”

James Clapper on collusion between Russia, Trump aides: There could be evidence
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told MSNBC'S Andrea Mitchell on Friday that there could be evidence of collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign
"There was no evidence that rose to that level, at that time, that found its way in to the intelligence community assessment, which we had pretty high confidence in," the former director of national intelligence said of collusion between Trump campaign aides and Russians, referring also to the US intelligence assessment that Russia tried to influence the presidential election in favor of Trump. "That's not to say there wasn't evidence, but not that met that threshold."
When asked whether the FBI's Russia investigation is fake news, or a "witch hunt," as Trump called it this morning in another tweet, Clapper told MSNBC on Friday: "I don't believe it is."


"But that's kind of irrelevant," he continued. "I think what needs to happen here is to clear this cloud, a cloud that's hanging over the administration, over the President, over the White House. It would be in everyone's best interest to get to the bottom of this, and for the country. Otherwise this is going to continue to linger as a dark cloud, in my opinion, over this administration."

Anyone else find this wording odd?
