Why does MSNBC continue to use Donna Brazile to represent Dems?

Does MSNBC not know how many Dems resist that characterization?

URGENT: Something fishy is going on in order of succession should Rosenstein be fired.

Check out this Twitter feed.

Don McGahn signed a waiver allowing NOEL FRANCISCO to assume control of the Russia investigation without disclosing his prior conflict of interest due to his law firm representation of Trump. McGahn had/has the same conflict of interest.

This is a huge, huge deal.

Check out all the sub threads.

11/2/2018 --Trump Evangelical Advisers Meet Saudi Crown Prince MBS

[blockquote

A group of prominent U.S. evangelical figures, including several of President Donald Trump's evangelical advisers, met Thursday with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose role in the killing of Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi remains unclear. In a statement that included smiling photos, the group said "it is our desire to lift up the name of Jesus whenever we are asked and wherever we go."

The meeting at the royal palace in Riyadh comes amid widespread questions about the role the prince played in the operation that left Khashoggi dead after he entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. Allies of the crown prince are trying to rally support for him.

In the statement, the group said it was the first time the crown prince had met with American evangelicals.

White evangelicals have been among Trump's most devoted supporters and have met in recent months with other Middle Eastern leaders whom they see as allies in pressuring Iran. The evangelical leaders believe they will gain more tolerance for Christian minorities in their diplomatic efforts in places such as Egypt, where the same group went last fall to meet with President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, and the United Arab Emirates, where they stopped for four days of meetings with top leaders before coming to Saudi Arabia.

Critics note that government-sponsored discrimination against Christians continues in the region, especially in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and that there is intense repression in those countries of political prisoners and journalists held without trial.

Group spokesman Johnnie Moore, who also serves as the White House's unofficial liaison to a group of well-known conservative evangelicals, said Khashoggi's killing and other human rights issues were "discussed" Thursday with the Saudi prince. He declined to say more.

Transcript:

EDDIE GLAUDE JR.: I was critical of Hillary Clinton and get hemmed up on Twitter every day for criticizing Donald Trump because people believe I'm responsible, in part, for Donald Trump being in the White House. What I did wrong in 2016 is I overestimated white people. I didn't think white people would put him in office.

So here he is running around the country appealing to our darker angels, appealing to our hatred and fears and I'm supposed to believe that Delaware County in Ohio is not going to vote for him. That the suburbs in Pennsylvania aren't going to vote for him? Aren't going to vote for him in Florida?

So part of what I do know is that it's going to require young people, it's going to require people of color, it's going to require African-Americans like they showed up in Alabama and Virginia. It's going to require us to turn out in massive numbers because I made a mistake in 2016. And the evidence is not in yet. I know it sounds cynical, but this man doubled down after 11 beautiful people were shot and killed while worshiping. Jefferson Town, Kentucky, murdered, shot in the back of the head for what? For what? Some ideal of whiteness that Donald Trump represents and spews out of his mouth every single day.
