The Trump administration ought to just keep trickling out one thing after another about the corruption of the previous administration and the Clinton administration. Maybe the MSM would report it--maybe not. The left has a stranglehold on the press. The MSM has abdicated its 1st Amendment role in our country.

[Circa.com] While secretary of state, Hillary Clinton made a personal call to pressure Bangladesh’s prime minister to aid a donor to her husband’s charitable foundation despite federal ethics laws that require government officials to recuse themselves from matters that could impact their spouse’s business.
The Office of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina confirmed to Circa that Mrs. Clinton called her office in March 2011 to demand that Dr. Muhammed Yunus, a 2006 Nobel Peace prize winner, be restored to his role as chairman of the country’s most famous microcredit bank, Grameen Bank. The bank’s nonprofit Grameen America, which Yunus chairs, has given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Global Initiative. Grameen Research, which is chaired by Yunus, has donated between $25,000 and $50,000, according to the Clinton Foundation website.
"Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton telephoned Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in March 2011 insisting her not to remove Dr. Muhammad Yunus from the post of Managing Director of Grameen Bank," Deputy Press Secretary Md Nazrul Islam told Circa in an email.
Islam said the prime minister informed Mrs. Clinton that according to Grameen Bank rules and regulations, nobody can hold the position of the Managing Director of Grameen Bank after the age of 60. He was 70 at the time of his removal and had wrangled for months to no avail with the prime minister over his removal. More interesting than the (unsurprising) content is that it came out. Hoping it has legs....

Now Brigitte Trogneux will continue to coach her husband, but on a much bigger stage - as France's First Lady at the Elysee presidential palace.
Newly-elected French President Macron 's wife, now 64, has been constantly by his side during his campaign, managing his agenda, editing his speeches and advising him on his stage presence.
In his victory speech made outside the Louvre Museum, Macron thanked his family and those close to him as the crowd was cheering "Brigitte!"
[Wash Times] Sen. John McCain on Wednesday handed Republican leadership and President Trump a stinging legislative defeat as he cast a surprise deciding vote to maintain an Obama-era regulation limiting methane emissions from oil and gas wells.
It was the first time the White House and congressional Republicans failed to rewrite or overturn environmental regulations put into place by the previous administration. That regulatory rollback, until Wednesday, united the party.
The Bureau of Land Management rule, put into place in November, has been in Republican crosshairs for months. The House has voted to eliminate the rule through the Congressional Review Act, a law that lets Congress unwind some recent regulations.
The Senate was expected to follow suit and deliver a win not just for Republican leadership and the administration, but also for their allies in the oil and gas industry. Instead, Mr. McCain and two fellow Republicans -- Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Susan M. Collins of Maine -- joined all 48 Democrats in voting against the measure, leading to its defeat in a 51-49 vote.

Can't the Republicans expel McCain and Graham from the party? If they walk like ducks and quack like ducks they should go ahead and switch their party affiliation to the donks.

I look forward to the day that the State of Arizona votes to fill the position he once held.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
