Two allies of President Donald trump – his lawyer, Michael Cohen, and his friend, Sean Hannity is now publicly tied to each other and to the President in strange ways. What they know and what they say can be more important than anything fired FBI Director opens at this point.
Speaking of loyalty, speaking of Komi, his relationship with trump began to unravel with the insistence of the President on it. And the alleged attempt to ensure the loyalty – and buying silence is the heart of stormy Daniels question that attracts the attention of the priest.

A little over a month with a Democrat Konor lamb scored a surprise victory in the special election for the 18th district of Pennsylvania in Congress, and now the GOP faces a real possibility that another special in the state could be held until Nov.
Moderate GOP Rep. Charlie dent announced Tuesday that he will resign from Congress “in the coming weeks,” presented by Gov. Tom wolf, a Democrat, with the choice to either call a potentially bruising and expensive special election sometime this summer or wait until November to see the seats are filled.
Mark Makela/ReutersTom Wolf delivers a speech after the inauguration of the Governor of the 47th Pennsylvania during the inauguration at the state Capitol in harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Jan. 20, 2015.
The law of Pennsylvania requires the Governor to hold a special election at least 60 days after the vacancy in Congress occurs formally, this means that a special election can be called at the beginning of July, depending on when dent decides to retire.
“As soon as the Governor Wolf receives official notification of the resignation with the exact date, he would take a formal decision on setting a date for the by-election,” yesterday, a statement released by the Governor’s office read.
Complicating matters is the looming specter of a new card in the Congress, set in force this fall. In accordance with the decision of the highest state court, for any special election until November would be held at the old map in the Congress, and depending on the timing of the winner can only ultimately serves a few months in the area, which will not exist after November.
