Trump and the White House were only told 30 minutes before the announcement but didn't react badly apparently. I think they must have known this was coming at some point.
I think it's a better outcome for Trump really. I suspect that for him this was end up being a Clinton-level e-mail scandal. That there is evidence of poor behavior but nothing illegal. Maybe some of his advisers might be in trouble (Flynn etc). But Trump was heading for serious trouble just because he seems to put his foot in it. Any investigation he has power over was bound to cause trouble. As it's independent he can't do that and it also avoids questioning for now because all sides can just say 'it's being investigated'.
Flynn though might be trouble: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/poli...151149702.html
He seems to have made a decision about the United States foreign policy that helped Turkey who was paying him! :O |
Seems like he might not have been the only one taking payments from a foreign power
