President Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani appears on Fox News with Laura Ingraham to discuss the 2020 democrat candidates; the upcoming appearance by Robert Mueller; the recent arrest of Jeffrey Epstein and the race-baiting of Nancy Pelosi:
Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend and fixer, Ghislaine Maxwell, likely has many of the answers DOJ wants….
Attorney General William Barr discusses the shift in DOJ approach to support President Trump’s request to put the citizenship question on the 2020 census; also his support for Robert Mueller if the special counsel should change his mind and not testify on July 17th to the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees.

AG William Barr: “I’m recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time.”
TheLastRefuge@TheLastRefuge2Three months ago Mueller completed. What valid reason exists for AG Bill Barr to keep the three investigative scope memos hidden?
March 17th; August 2nd; and October 20th, 2017.
ps. It’s now July 2019 and even with the investigation over we’re still not allowed to know scope?
Last weekend the Daily Mail reported U.K. Ambassador Kim Darroch leveled personal insults against President Trump, the White House and positions the British felt were adverse to their interests in a series of memos dating back to 2017. Today President Trump responded:
According to additional media reports, British trade minister Liam Fox will apologize to the administration for the inappropriate commentary.
“I will be apologizing for the fact that either our civil service or elements of our political class have not lived up to the expectations that either we have or the United States has about their behavior, which in this particular case has lapsed in a most extraordinary and unacceptable way,” Fox said on BBC radio.

One of the more unique aspects of having a genuine “people’s president”, are the unscripted moments when a generally invisible ordinary American is provided the opportunity to share their perspective. Mr. Bruce Hrobak from Billy Bones Bait and Tackle of Port St. Lucie, did exactly that today in the White House. [Watch]
[Transcript] President Trump […] And I also signed legislation authorizing $100 million to fight red tide — a big problem that some people don’t know about but, when you do know about it, that means trouble because it is bad — and other toxic algae that damages coastal areas. It’s causing tremendous havoc, and we have a way of straightening it out, and we’ll get it done.
We’re joined today by Bruce Hrobak, owner of Billy Bones Bait ‘N Tackle in Port St. Lucie — a place I know very well — Florida. His business was devastated by toxic algae from Lake Okeechobee.
Bruce, please come up and tell us about what’s happened and what we’re doing for you. Where is Bruce? (Applause.) Bruce. Hi, Bruce. Please.
MR. HROBAK: I really appreciate it, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much.
MR. HROBAK: Hello. How are you all today? All right, we have made a big trip up here to make sure we’re here. This is very important. This is my family’s business, okay? I’ve owned the Bait ‘N Tackle store since 2001 and been in Florida since 2006.
I have my son Tanner over here with me. He means the world to me. He is my best friend and my son. He’s actually a brain cancer survivor. You know, he beat it and now he’s 21, and — (applause) — thank you. Thank you.
I wanted to say — thank you. I wanted to say that, Mr. President, you’re not only doing a tremendous job all the way around, but you jumping into this environment brings my heart to warmth, knowing that what you’re doing is going — is the truth. It’s going wonderfully.
My business in 2018 was so horrible, we — I own two stores — we closed several days a week because of, you know, the algae and people being frightened, if they were afraid to touch the water and everything. I have a marine mechanic — I just wanted to say really quickly — has a bad infection in his arm from the marine algae and stuff.
But basically, your completion of this Herbert Hoover Dike is going to make a tremendous difference because we can store more water in Lake Okeechobee; safely store it there so the residents that are around there are safe. We care and we’re are concerned about them — us, on the coast. Believe me. And that the water does not go into the Caloosahatchee and to the St. Lucie estuary. It’s full of contanimants [sic] — contaminants and fertilizers.
And, Mr. President, you mentioned about the red tide. It is a natural occurrence. This fertilizer and all these contaminants is like a super power. And we have seen devastation on the west coast like none other before, in 2018.
So, I mean, I’m just so grateful for all the work you’re doing, sir, and everything. And the Everglades restoration. And also, I heard great news that the dike is going to be finished much sooner — ’22 than — 2022 — than expected.
So I personally want to thank you because this year they’re not dumping; our businesses are doing better. My wife don’t yell at me as much. (Laughter.) Well, that always happens.
So, you know, she says to me, “You’re going to be by the President talking.” And I says, “Oh, I don’t need no list or whatever. I’ve got a big mouth. I talk. I don’t care. I’m proud.” (Laughter.) I’m proud of who I am, and what I am.
I’m a licensed charter boat captain, and I’ve done it since 25 — since I’m 25 years old. And I just want to say thank you for the opportunity to speak. Thank you for everything you are doing, sir. I speak for so many people. You are — you bring my heart to warmth for everything you’re doing, and all the way around. (Applause.)
And, sir, my nephew — thank you all. My nephew Kenny Hrobak is like my son. He is in South Korea, right now, in the Army. And he’s doing things. And he is so proud of you, and those boys. They all just — I’ve never seen people that are so proud of our President. And I just — I’m amazed.
I mean, we stayed up to watch you that day when you got elected. We were like, “He’s got it! He’s got it!” (Laughter.) So — I’m sorry, I’m telling the truth. (Applause.)
Listen, my dad taught me — my dad taught me, “Don’t tell no lies.” And when you want me to shut up, I will. But I’m telling the truth. And dad always say — he looked a little like Donald Trump; he did a little bit. But you’re much handsomer. (Laughter.) Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. (Applause.)
I worked in the towers over there (inaudible). I really appreciate it. Thank you, sir. You have no idea how many people appreciate everything you’ve done. I mean it. Thank you so much.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s really nice . I appreciate it.
MR. HROBAK: I appreciate it.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much.
MR. HROBAK: And I want to say one final thing. I’ve got a big mouth. (Laughter.) God bless America and God bless our President! Give him a hand. (Applause.) Trump 2020.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Bruce. Wow. Well, that was unexpected. We appreciate it, Bruce. (Laughter.) That’s better than any speechwriter I could get, right? (Laughter.) Who am I going to get like that? I appreciate it. Thank you.
MR. HROBAK: (Inaudible.) (Off-mic.)
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Bruce.
One of the best testimonials to President Trump’s pragmatic perspective is his ability to rise above the ridiculous partisan political attacks and look at issues from a non-political solution-driven perspective.
In the latest example California Governor Gavin Newsom has been antagonizing the administration yet outlines how President Trump, a builder-in-chief, immediately called him and expressed his full commitment to helping California recover from two serious earthquakes that hit the state in two consecutive days. After Newsom toured some of the damaged areas he spoke to reporters at a press briefing.
Governor Newsom said he and President Trump talked about the challenges California has recently face, including two devastating wildfires just six months ago. “There’s no question we don’t agree on everything, but one area where there’s no politics, where we work extremely well together, is our response to emergencies”, Newsom said. “He’s committed in the long haul, the long run, to help support the rebuilding efforts” the governor said of President Trump.
Acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Ken Cuccinelli, battles through the manipulative ‘open-border’ narrative of CBS Margaret Brennan to discuss ICE removals, border conditions, and asylum laws:
.
How the heck did never-Trump leader Ken Cuccinelli end up with a position in this administration? This is the same guy who tried to lead a 2016 convention effort to change the rules and remove Donald Trump as the Republican nominee.
ADD: After thinking about it, this series of Sunday talk appearances is likely a trial run to test Cuccinelli and see if he has genuinely had a ‘come-to-MAGA‘ change in outlook.
As Mueller prepares to testify on July 17th, there is another problem surfacing. Mueller withheld what is known as Brady Material from Manafort’s lawyers. In a real court of law, this would mean that his conviction would be vacated. It turns out that Russian Oligarch Deripaska was interviewed by the FBI and made it clear that because Manafort worked with the Ukrainians against Russia, there was no way that any Russian would have collaborated with Manafort. Mueller withholding evidence that was potentially proof of innocence calls into question Mueller’s ethics and his entire investigation. The story laid out by the Hill is very interesting from a legal perspective.
Before President Trump and Chairman Xi Jinping met in Osaka at the G20, Beijing requested the removal of current tariffs as a contingency for a Trump-Xi meeting. The tariffs are causing two issues: (1) China is bleeding cash via subsidies to offset the tariffs and retain export position; (2) ancillary manufacturing companies are exiting China to avoid tariffs into the U.S. market.
Understanding how the static dynamic -he intentionally created- was favorable to the U.S., President Trump reasserted that current tariffs were not going to be removed.
After the Osaka meeting, President Trump and Chairman Xi agreed to re-open talks between the two teams with no new tariffs; however, as stated before the G20 summit the preexisting tariffs would remain.
Beijing is increasingly recognizing how the current status is disfavorable to their economy; and asserting that no further trade talks can take place until the U.S. promises to remove all tariffs as part of a completed agreement.
(SCMP) China has insisted that all tariffs on Chinese imports added by the United States during the trade war must be scrapped immediately as part of any deal to end the year-long conflict, which would require the Trump administration to give up its position that some levies remain in place even after an agreement is reached.
US President Donald Trump agreed to pause placing new tariffs of up to 25 per cent on an additional US$300 billion of Chinese imports not yet subject to taxes after his meeting with Xi Jinping at the G20 summit last weekend in Japan.
But for any deal to be reached, US tariffs of 25 per cent on US$250 billion of Chinese imports that remain in place must be removed, said Ministry of Commerce spokesman Gao Feng on Thursday, underscoring that there are still many issues to be resolved to end the conflict as it approaches its one-year anniversary on Saturday.

The position of Beijing is tenuous. President Trump was not inclined to even begin further talks; the status-quo actually favors the U.S. position. Few companies with operations that require access to the U.S. market are willing to commit to any further China investment while the trade conflict exists. A process of “deglobalization” or regional shift is underway.
The U.S. economy remains strong. As a result of economic nationalism, right now the U.S. is the wealthiest consumer base in the globe. Many companies are re-positioning to be closest to their most valuable consumers, and there is massive proactive investment in Mexico as passage of the USMCA trade agreement is likely.
Justin from Canada held a political strategy session with Nancy Pelosi and looks like he agreed to postpone any Canadian Parliamentary vote until after Pelosi passes the USMCA in the U.S. congress. It’s likely Pelosi wants to wait until after the 2020 election to avoid giving President Trump a win. However, this means Justin from Canada has agreed to allow his own economy to further collapse just to assist the OrangeManBad objective.
Yesterday as the U.S. celebrated another 224,000 new jobs created, Canada posted their June results:

Canadian Economy Loses Over 2,000 Jobs, Unemployment Rate Rises. https://www.spencerfernando.com/2019/07/05/canadian-economy-loses-over-2000-jobs-unemployment-rate-rises/ …Canadian Economy Loses Over 2,000 Jobs, Unemployment Rate Rises – Spencer Fernando
Economists had expected a gain of 10,000 jobs. The latest jobs report shows the Canadian economy losing 2,200 jobs in June. The unemployment rate rose,

As a direct outcome of how Trump has positioned the U.S. trade strategy there are two simultaneous issues defeating the Trudeau-Pelosi scheme.
Specifically because Trump created: (1) a process of deglobalization away from China; and (2) a regional investment process in Mexico; President Trump now holds key leverage in both directions. Part of that leverage is seen in the political shift within Mexico to assist on the Central American migration issue. The potential for national security tariffs on Mexico is now less than 60 days away (POTUS gave Lopez-Obrador a 90-day corrective window).
There is no current reason for President Trump to change the stalemate with China, and Pelosi’s scheme to hold-up the USMCA only makes things worse for Beijing. Without the USMCA ratified President Trump’s best play, to ensure strategic trade objectives are accomplished, is to delay any China talks or agreement. Doing nothing is a strategic decision.
The longer this goes on the weaker Beijing becomes. Simultaneously the longer this goes on the more multinational corporations will look toward the U.S. for direct investment, -OR- look at Mexico as a safe hub, close to the U.S. market, where they can avoid controversy.
If Beijing follows through with a threat to disengage until current tariffs are removed, they are only hurting their own economy. It is only because President Trump has guided the trade reset to this specific place in time that this current dynamic is possible.
As a consequence, the tariffs will continue until panda behavior improves.
Don’t look for Team U.S.A to make any compromise.
Real Clear Investigations has a deep dive into the underpinnings of the Mueller report surrounding the sketchy conclusions about Russian interference. What Real Clear outlines parallels our own review where most of the substance claimed by Andrew Weissmann, Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein is essentially baseless.
(RCI) […] The report claims that the interference operation occurred “principally” on two fronts: Russian military intelligence officers hacked and leaked embarrassing Democratic Party documents, and a government-linked troll farm orchestrated a sophisticated and far-reaching social media campaign that denigrated Hillary Clinton and promoted Trump.
But a close examination of the report shows that none of those headline assertions are supported by the report’s evidence or other publicly available sources. They are further undercut by investigative shortcomings and the conflicts of interest of key players involved: (read more)
