Jabba the Hutt at it again with another fishing expedition to find something, anything, to accuse the president of. This is all so tiresome and my guess it will eventually backfire.
ZitatThe House Intelligence Committee has asked one of the top contractors to President Trump’s inaugural to provide it with documents about the event, a person familiar with the situation said on Wednesday, opening up a new line of inquiry into the planning and financing of the ceremonies.
The committee asked for documents from and an interview with Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who had been a close friend of the first lady, Melania Trump, and who had helped plan the celebrations and parties around the inaugural, the person said. The request was disclosed by a lawyer for Ms. Winston Wolkoff in a letter this week to the inaugural committee.
It is unclear what was requested, or why the intelligence committee is now involved. But it adds a new layer to the existing federal investigations into the inaugural committee, which was run by Thomas J. Barrack, a close friend of the president, with help from some former Trump political aides. They include Rick Gates, who previously pleaded guilty to charges brought by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and who has been cooperating with various investigations for more than a year.

There's evidence screaming at us in the network ratings, that people really don't like being lied to. TM
Ratings for CNN and MSNBC continuing to crash, as viewers migrate to Fox News prime time By Thomas Lifson, April 3, 2019
Karma has come calling at CNN and MSNBC, the avid broadcast-promoters of the Russia hoax. Viewers who deserted the conspiracy theorists after it turned out that Mueller reported no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia are staying away and — even worse! — migrating to Fox News.
Mike Brest writes at the Daily Caller: Maddow brought in her worst weekly ratings of the year last week, following the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
News broke of Robert Mueller submitting his conclusion to Attorney General William Barr shortly before the close of business on Friday, March 22. Last week's television ratings were the first full week of coverage since the conclusion of the investigation into whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials.
Throughout the week, Maddow averaged 2,458,000 viewers with 392,000 people in the key age demographic 25-54, both of which mark yearly lows for the liberal television host, according to Nielsen Media Research. The week before she averaged 2,716,000 viewers with 479,000 in the demo.
What makes this especially painful for Maddow, who rode the hoax to become the top-rated host in all of cable news at times, is that the ratings decline actually got worse after the exposure of the hoax first broke:
Further, Maddow lost half a million viewers from the Monday before the report was concluded to the Monday after (last Monday). Her ratings proceeded to drop another 200,000 viewers the next day
Meanwhile, things are, if anything, even worse at CNN. Ryan Saavedra reports the abject humiliation of the cable news pioneer at the Daily Wire:
Fox News' Tucker Carlson absolutely dominated CNN last week, beating their entire prime time line up combined in total viewers by over 1,000,000 viewers — and CNN is not handling the news well.
CNN's entire prime time line up garnered 2,474,000 total viewers compared to Carlson's 3,475,000 total viewers.
Ratings from Nielsen Media Research for 03/25-03/29:
· FOX News Tucker Carlson: 3,475,000 total viewers; 625,000 viewers in the 25-54 age demographic
· CNN Cooper: 810,000 total viewers; 203,000 viewers in the 25-54 age demographic
· CNN Cuomo: 875,000 total viewers; 217,000 viewers in the 25-54 age demographic
· CNN Lemon: 789,000 total viewers; 228,000 viewers in the 25-54 age demographic
There is nobody, other than President Trump, whom CNN and MSNBC hate more than Tucker. He relentlessly mocks them, and last week, he exposed CNN's slavish obedience to the DNC.
