We can't discount something simply because CNN presents it, though they have mischaracterized SO badly. <br />For example, I just posted in a comment at my place that the Left's hammering Trump today on how he said "I have no dealings with Russia"...they did a long expose(Sorry I don't have an accent on my computer for the last e of that word!) saying TRUMP SAYS HE HAD NO DEALINGS WITH RUSSIA!!! (inferring a lie simply from the wording of the headline)...The truth is his son and daughter went there a few years back to consider building a Trump Tower in Russia but the recession hit so they decided against it...<br />Because of that story, they're now saying he lies today about having had no Russia business dealings.<br />I've done enough business to know that if a deal fell thru, I would say "No, I don't have dealings with that entity"...<br />Yes, we have to be cynical, but we have to realize that Americans don't usually look beyond headlines "TRUMP DENIED DEALINGS WITH RUSSIA!" and they vote.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-14667999244847852112017-07-12T10:54:11.684-05:002017-07-12T10:54:11.684-05:00They prove you hypocrisy, of course, This Un!They prove you hypocrisy, of course, This Un!Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-66485355213321325162017-07-12T10:34:28.713-05:002017-07-12T10:34:28.713-05:00What about them?

Mr. Kasowitz and his colleagues have been deeply frustrated by the president.

But one person familiar with Mr. Kasowitz’s thinking said his concerns did not relate to Mr. Kushner.<br /><br />The president’s lawyers view Mr. Kushner as an obstacle and a freelancer more concerned about protecting himself than his father-in-law, the person said. While no ultimatum has been delivered, the lawyers have told colleagues that they cannot keep operating that way, raising the prospect that Mr. Kasowitz may resign.</i><br /><br />How do we even know about these e-mails?
