"The Phoenix rally was Trump's eighth such event since taking office in January. The events are organised by his 2020 re-election campaign, which carefully screens attendees."

So, apparently they couldn't find too many people to attend.

I saw comments implying they advertised on Craigslist, to find people to be among the group standing behind him. Paid $10/hr. He spoke for almost 90 minutes I think. Call me mercenary but I'd probably take up that offer.
 
And the TV Channels managed to broadcast him claiming that they weren't broadcasting him.
 
The black guy behind trump at the rally is a bit unhinged.

It was an absolutely bizarre scene ... the guy Donald Trump's people strategically placed behind the President at Tuesday's Arizona rally with a sign that read "Blacks for Trump 2020" is the president of the group, and he believes "ISIS & HILLARY RACE WAR PLOT TO KILL ALL BLACK & WHITE WOMEN OF AMERICA."
The guys name is Maurice Symonette and was having a good 'ol time Tuesday night at the rally. His website is one gigantic rant, with such statements as, "Make Cherokees & the Indians Pay Taxes."

And a reason Comey had to go-
Comey wrote draft exoneration of Clinton months before July 2016 announcement - CNNPolitics

Former FBI Director James Comey drafted a statement exonerating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for running her government emails through a private email server before completing the investigation, according to two Republican senators.Comey prepared the draft exoneration for Clinton before conducting interviews with top Clinton aides who were offered immunity for their cooperation, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday in a joint statement, citing transcripts of interviews with former Comey aides obtained by the Senate judiciary committee.
 
Still clutching at straws, still no smoking gun, still no evidence of any illegality. The Mueller witch hunt is failing badly.

Comey should be the one under investigation by special counsel for covering up Crooked Hillary's crimes.

I hope this was a parody.

No one has been investigated more than Hilary Clinton.
And yet there has never been any adverse finding, let alone any criminal charges.
And yet you are "still clutching at straws, still no smoking gun, still no evidence of any illegality".

You might also want to research defamation law. Calling someone a criminal when they have never been convicted of an offence could see you end up homeless and destitute.
The first amendment doesn't protect you in Australia.

I suggest you look in the mirror and ask yourself who's running a failing witchhunt.

Don't believe everything you see on CNN dear. It's well known that the left and the deep state are very good at protecting their own.

The fact that you cannot see the obvious problems with an investigator writing a report exonerating someone before the investigation is complete and before all witnesses have been interviewed illustrates your delusion.

I don't rely on CNN I hardly ever look at it.
I rely on a multitude of news sources in three languages - English, French and Spanish.
It's amazing how reading news in a different language helps filter out most of the "fake news".

I do know enough about how bureaucracies work to know that there is nothing unusual in a report being drafted in anticipation of an outcome to a process.
At a stage where the conclusion seems known, it would not be unusual to start drafting a report. Obviously it would be subject to change if the course of the inquiry changed.
That didn't happen. There was no evidence of any criminal act by Hillary Clinton. There never has been. Despite countless witchhunts against her.

It is the height of absurdity that these allegations are being thrown at Comey who did more than anyone - except possibly Putin and his little Aussie cupboard mysoginist -to get Trump elected.
If he was conspiring to help Clinton he would never have released that absurd statement about her aide's laptop in the crucial final stages of the election campaign.

The "deep state" was a concept invented by the left to refer to the permanent power of wealthy elites which persisted despite changes in administrations.
It is hilarious that the right is now attempting to use the concept to pretend they are the underdogs and that the establishment is left wing.
But it is entirely consistent with Trump's Orwellian newspeak.
Fake news was coined to describe the lies peddled by so-called "alt-right" (actually neo-naz_) websites like Brietbart.
Now Trump and his allies use it to discredit legitimate news from credible mainstream publications with which they happen to disagree.
Their project is to problematise the very concept of truth. They think if they throw enough accusations of "fake news" at mainstream media, the question marks will remain.
So real journalism and Brietbart type filth will seem equally plausible, equally questionable.
This is quite literally Orwellian. It is the very tactic the Party use to rewrite history and thus both contemporary reality and the future.

As you chose to deploy the homophobic, feminising, patronising term "dear" allow me to finish with some advice from the lyrics of "Evita".
Everyone knows how us fa_gots love musicals.

"So go if you're able to somewhere unstable and stay there!
Whip up your hate in some tottering state but not here dear! Is that clear, dear?"
 
One small point.FBI Director James Comey said publicly that he thought Hiliary had been reckless with the use of her private server but he was not going to pursue prosecution.

That decision was made in private months before-a transcript has been found in the FBI files.There was no transcript of an alternate finding of guilt which you would expect at such an early stage of the investigation before the crucial witnesses had been questioned.
Also the Attorney-general met Bill Clinton privately 0ne week before Hiliary was interviewed by the FBI.

Now Loretta Lynch says they just talked about their grandchildren for 30 minutes.Yet there are emails from the FBI to the AG department and White House staff headed Talking Points re meeting but with content redacted.Why if it was only about grandchildren has the content be redacted?

In the past as a federal prosecutor Comey let the Clintons off the hook over Whitewater and the Marc Rich pardon.

And the New York times just won an award for fake news with this Headline-
Mueller Has Early Draft of Trump Letter Giving Reasons for Firing Comey[/QUOTE]

It starts-
WASHINGTON — The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has obtained a letter drafted by President Trump and a top political aide that offered an unvarnished view of Mr. Trump’s thinking in the days before the president fired the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey.
The circumstances and reasons for the firing are believed to be a significant element of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, which includes whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice by firing Mr. Comey.

But then it shoots it's own story down-
Mr. McGahn met again that same day with Mr. Trump and told him that if he fired Mr. Comey, the Russia investigation would not go away. Mr. Trump told him, according to senior administration officials, that he understood that firing the F.B.I. director might extend the Russia investigation, but that he wanted to do it anyway.

So how did Trump obstruct justice if he believed the sacking would extend the Russia investigation.
