Night at Mar-a-Lago: Inside charity event with Trump, Sessions nearby

Source: Palm Beach post

Guests caught glimpses of Trump meeting with members of his team, including Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and Gen. John Kelly, head of the Department of Homeland Security.

They had converged on the ocean-to-lake compound, which Trump calls his southern White House, to hash out the fallout from continued revelations about Trump campaign officials meeting with Russian officials, including Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions reportedly earned the ire of Trump when he decided to recuse himself from the Trump-Russia investigation, after it was revealed Sessions failed to disclose during his Senate confirmation hearings that he had twice spoken to Russian officials. Press reports say he was ordered down to Palm Beach at the last moment to go over the burgeoning crisis.

Let's see here; Sessions is ordered to a meeting about the Trump-Russia investigation after he has recused himself from that (investigation)?

Just so everyone has the visit list from yesterday:

that always tell the truth then you don't have to remember what you said to who. If you always tell the truth then everyone gets the same story and you don't have to remember shit

all of his staff to be available 24/7. A sure way to bring on burnout and lose important people. Will Kellyanne be the first to go?

Will have to see what predictions they have for the number of named storms this season to see if we get that far down the list. I expect we'll definitely get to "Don" though.

canceled an important annual function, to jump at Trump's bidding?

Does this seem strange to anyone else?

And I will bet dollars to donuts that the russian Ambass., who ALSO canceled the Gridiron bash, ended up with Trump and the gang too.
