Today’s items indicate a growing trend toward a realization that the president’s done absolutely nothing illegal, but is far more likely simply suffering through growing pains in his new role as head of state.  

One of those offering an opinion is Condoleezza Rice who rarely does so unless she has something of value to relate.

According to apulitic.com on Saturday: “Condoleezza Rice has finally spoken concerning President Trump. She supported his choices about cabinet picks, and now she was happy especially about Jeff Sessions as AG.”

In San Francisco she said: “The United States is in uncharted territory with President Trump, a man with no experience in public service who has “never even sniffed government.”

“Government under the Trump administration will look and feel different,” Rice continued.
“I think we have to give this Trump presidency some time. It will take the president himself time to realize the limitations of his power, she said, because he’s accustomed to a different domain.”

She said, “I am a great believer in what the Founding Fathers believed in,” explaining our nations checks and balances before getting laughs with the line, “Americans, are a notoriously ungovernable people.”

While Rice recognizes the need for Trump to adjust to the system of checks and balances, something totally unfamiliar to him, Chris Christie brought Trump’s current difficulties into an even simpler perspective.  

According to Jeff Poor @breitbart.com, on “Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) offer his explanation for President Donald Trump’s alleged interactions with former FBI Director James Comey.

“Christie told host Nicolle Wallace much of it had to do with Trump employing “normal New York City conversation” and not being aware of how those in government might interpret it.

“You know, what people don’t understand is that they elected an outsider president,” Christie said. “They elected someone who had never been inside government and quite frankly never interacting with the government except at the local level. And so, the idea of the way, the tradition of these agencies is not something that he’s ever been steeped in. And so, here I think over the course of time, and we can talk about different examples, what you’re seeing is a president who is now very publicly learning about the way people react to what he considers to be normal New York City conversation.”

While the same conclusion regarding Trump’s New York “style”’ has been seen here for quite some time now, it seems that others are now grasping the fact that while the left and the MSM continue obsessing over falsities, Trump has his administration focused on agenda-fulfillment.   

Another one of those catching on to Trump’s style is Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker who in an interview Sunday on New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” said that “he approves of President Donald Trump’s actions in office so far, even though the media continues to focus on his Twitter account.

“People ask me, not only about the hearings this week, but even the first 100 days how the Trump administration is doing, and I say I think actions speak louder than words — or in this case even, tweets,” Walker told host John Catsimatidis. “When you look at his actions, Vice President Pence, the quality of the Cabinet, the Supreme Court pick, some of the regulations they pulled back on that were just stifling the American economy … I think the actions thus far have been pretty good.”

While getting good grades from Republicans for his performance to date, Trump got some additional help from Democrat pollster Doug Schoen. 

Also appearing on Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Schoen reacted to Comey’s testimony last week before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Although telling host John Catsimatidis that he does not think Comey leaking memos is illegal, he did say it “smells to high heaven.”

“It’s perfectly clear that he did leak,” Schoen stated. “I am not sure what he did was illegal, I’m not sure it was inappropriate, but from a public relations point of view, it smells to high heaven.”

What’s important here is that, while not a politician or in government himself, Schoen knows as much, if not more, about what’s going on in DC than most others by far. And if he thinks the smell is suspect, it’s a safe bet many other Democrats agree with him. One of which is Diane Feinstein.

As reported by Caitlin Yilek @washingtonexaminer.com: “Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Sunday Congress needs to investigate whether former Attorney General Loretta Lynch gave cover to Hillary Clinton's campaign when she told former FBI Director James Comey to call the probe into Clinton's emails "a matter" instead of "an investigation."

"I think we need to know more about that," Feinstein said on CNN's "State of the Union."

 "And there's only one way to know about it, and that's to have the judiciary committee take a look at that."

“Comey testified Thursday to Congress that Lynch's request made him feel "queasy."

“Feinstein, the top Democrat on the committee, said she would have had "a queasy feeling, too."

All of which continues the theme that in Trump’s case, his misstep was bringing a New York attitude into the DC bureaucracy, with no intention of illegality whatsoever.

Those on the left however, such as Comey, Lynch and all, understand the “system” inside out. Yet the indications are that it’s they who are going to get caught.

And that’s because seasoned professionals like Dianne Feinstein, with advice from experts like Schoen, now realize the real truth’s begun to come out.

That’s it for today folks.
