    Could you fill in the details of that particular lie for me?

    If the author does not provide that information he is intellectually dishonest and anything he writes cannot be trusted as truthful.

    Hahaha! your attempt at intellectual integrity falls flat if you make such ridiculous yet definitive qualifications for either entirely accepting or entirely rejecting a book full of direct quotes from trumps inner circle.

    Staggeringly intellectual dishonesty.

    thanks. BTW, TDS to you means trump derangement syndrome, but to me TDS means trump delusion syndrome. I'd rather be deranged than deluded but hey everyone makes their own choice.

    Too bad you have opted for mere dismissal. Its obvious you've put your information uptake on hold. The last retreat.

    Really - the author fails to disclose conflicting and obviously false information and that's OK ??

    While you have obviously pre-judged that without knowing any details.... if you are able to accept what you don't want to hear, it's easy to support.
    Read the best details on it as well as many other Clinton cash cows (that smell like more like dead fish) can be found in the book "Clinton Cash by Peter Schweizer. The event with the $750K paycheck (over aa $mil per hour) was I believe for Ericsson Corp, a Swedish company. And before you discount that book, bear in mind that the Clintons haven't sued over it. That's not the only place covering it. Bill has made 13 speeches netting over $500k each- and all but two done while Hillary was Secretary of State.

    That book is not a loner. Do a little research and you find that the Clintons have a long history of events that are similar. With both being lawyers, they know how to do dishonest things in a fashion to avoid legal prosecution- or how to make sure nobody snitches. Way to many "coincidences".

    The problem with Trump is he follows one disaster with a greater disaster. Often times that is caused by a psyche that requires Trump to double down on a mistake in judgment.

    However, that was not the case Thursday when an egregious error in judgment was followed by an even greater egregious error in judgment. The first error concerned the FISA program. Trump forgot what his position was on FISA, and he seemed to be siding with the liberals in an early morning tweet. He had to be told what his position was by chief of staff, John Kelly, and the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.

    The greater error came later in the day, and the first monstrous error was quickly forgotten. In a meeting with Senators Trump used an expletive deleted racial slur followed by other racial remarks. For example, saying that he preferred immigrants from Nordic white Norway to the brown-skinned immigrants from Haiti. He later denied he said anything discriminatory or naughty, but no one believes him anymore. He simply lies too much.

    The uproar was immediate, expected, and long in duration. Even Republicans are joining in or avoiding the issue, and certainly not defending Trump for his inexcusable remarks. The Hill reports, "A number of Republicans are distancing themselves from President Trump’s remarks describing Haiti and other poor countries as “shitholes” as coverage of the incendiary comments for a second day dominates news coverage."

    The Hill continued, "GOP lawmakers in swing districts and Republicans who represent populations of emigrants from the countries insulted by Trump were the quickest to separate themselves from the president’s comments as they sought to insulate themselves from blow back."

    The fact that still later in the day Trump wrote a tweet filled with lies that announced he was cancelling a trip to Britain was largely overlooked. Instead of blaming the expected raucous protests because of his 75% unpopularity, Trump blamed Obama for a Bush decision.

    The only question remaining is, how much longer are Republican leaders in Congress going to put up with Trump's antics. Clearly, he is an impediment to their agenda. Republicans should be celebrating. They passed tax reform, a huge hurdle. Border security has been tightened. The economy is booming and has been ever since Republicans won victories in the Oval Office, Senate, and House. The stock market is setting records every day.

    But, instead of celebrating, they are leading the President around by the nose because of his incompetence and cursing him for his brainless remarks which dominate the news cycle nearly every day.
