Kanye West has performed a great service to the Black Community - Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in Decades - Legacy Stuff! Thank you also to Chance and Dr. Darrell Scott, they really get it (lowest Black & Hispanic unemployment in history).

But one rare voice of support was Chance the Rapper, a fast-rising star from West’s hometown of Chicago who tweeted, “Black people don’t have to be Democrats” and predicted that the next US president will be an independent.

Trump, unaccustomed to defenders in the celebrity world, on Friday thanked Chance on Twitter and said that “eyes are being opened for the first time in decades” as he touted low unemployment rates among minorities.

Chance, whose father is a Democratic operative in Chicago who worked for future president Barack Obama, on Friday apologized and said he only wanted to support West, whom he called such a mentor that he felt like family.

“I’d never support anyone who has made a career out of hatred, racism and discrimination,” Chance tweeted in reference to Trump.

Chance said his comments were ill-timed but that Chicago has had “generations of Democratic officials with no investment or regard for black schools, neighborhood(s) or black lives.”

“The president wanted to do that,” Conway said. “The president had a great time bringing his case to the American people, as he does on social media and these bilateral Q&As and certainly on the South Lawn and press pool sprays and other interviews, and the president said he would like to perhaps come once a month as news breaks.”

Doocy yelped and started applauding, although the best grim-faced co-host Brian Kilmeade could muster was, “that would be great.”

“Pretty much a monthly basis,” Conway said. “Back in the private sector he was on every week, every Monday. At certain times, same time every weekend, he was going through 15 or 20 minutes of his view on policy. Many people went back to listen to the interviews for clues as how he might govern as the president and his issues of the day.”

“You see that consistency, that unbroken thread between some of those interviews and much of the policies today,” she said. “I had to credit him yesterday, I said, ‘You didn’t even put a semicolon in there — you covered so much territory,’ that he leaves the rest of us cold in terms of our analytical and conversational skills. The president was able to cover so much ground with you yesterday and appreciated the platform because it connects him with the American people, not just on Fox News, but at that really was the buzz around the globe yesterday in large part, because everybody had to replay your clips. That must have been delicious.”

Never one to miss a business opportunity, President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign on Thursday sent out an alert to supporters that is meant to fundraise off of rapper Kanye West’s tweets endorsing him.

“Group think is a mandate in today’s society and when a free thinker like Kanye West speaks truth, they attack him” the text alert, as posted on Twitter by the Wall Street Journal‘s Julie Kykowicz, read.

“We support Kanye speaking his mind, even if sometimes we do not agree on the issues,” the alert continued. “Do not let them silence you. Get your red MAGA hat today.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he shared President Donald Trump’s “frustrations” with the special counsel probe and called for it to wrap up.

The attorney general testified Thursday before the House Appropriations Committee, saying the investigation overseen by special counsel Robert Mueller was distracting the president from national security matters.

“Look, I think the American people are concerned, and the president is concerned,” Sessions said. “He’s dealing with France and North Korea and Syria and taxes and regulations and border and crime, every day, and I wish — this thing needs to conclude,” Session said. “So I understand his frustrations, and I understand the American people’s frustrations.”

Rep. Evan Jenkins (R-WV) prompted the response by complaining that Hillary Clinton and other political enemies of the president had escaped special counsel scrutiny, which he said angered his constituents.

“At the very root of this, I think my constituents are frustrated, are angry, they see a double standard historically,” Jenkins said. “They want justice.”

Lawyers for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York on Thursday used President Donald Trump’s early-morning rant on “Fox & Friends” to undercut claims being made by attorneys representing his longtime attorney, Michael Cohen.

As documented by legal reporter Mike Scarcella, SDNY lawyers specifically cited Trump’s “Fox & Friends” interview in a new filing to argue that most of the records seized in the FBI raid of Cohen’s office are not subject to attorney-client privilege.

Specifically, they argued that Trump’s comments about Cohen being mostly a “businessman” who only performed a “tiny fraction” of the total legal work done on his behalf suggested “that the seized materials are unlikely to contain voluminous privileged documents.”

The lawyers also cited a public statement by Fox News host Sean Hannity that he only asked Cohen for legal advice on an informal basis, which they said undercut Cohen’s argument that the raid on his offices contained “thousands, if not millions” of pages of privileged documents.
