ames who seems crooked is being looked into for her own crimes. On the other hand why did it take a Republican administration for this to happen? Doesn't it sort of suggest that the FBI is completely politicized and if the Republicans have the dominant control they can just pick a Republican leaning bunch of FBI people to do what they want and go after anybody they want. It's not better if the Republicans do it but it does suggest that the FBI is not anything like an independent body that's just trying to get rid of crime at least when it comes to the political domain.

So the attorney general Letitia James was probably crooked and politicized. The FBI may not be much better according to Steve Scalise and the congressional shooting stuff.

President Trump is doing his Trumpian thing where he can take both sides of an issue. Man he could do this better than anybody's ever done it. So one of the questions about the budget thing is whether they will raise taxes on the rich. I think it's people over five million a year or something like that.

But Trump is now saying on Truth that he's not in favor of it. He's not in favor of raising the taxes because the Democrats would use it as a sound bite. Sort of like George Bush's read my lips no new taxes. So if he did raise taxes even on just the rich and even if the Democrats were fully on board with that he still feels like they would use it as a club to say well it's not what you said you'd do. And he probably has a little bit of a point there.

But then he says at the same time he says he doesn't want to do it because it gives the Democrats a sound bite he doesn't want to act like he's just protecting his own tax base because that would be a bad look too. So he says that the GOP should probably not raise taxes on the rich but if they do he's okay with it. He's the only person in the
