Washington, DC...White House, South Lawn, 8:02 A.M. EDT. Question: Is the Comey report going to be your birthday present? THE PRESIDENT: Well, it seems that it’s coming out on my birthday. Maybe that’s appropriate. Let’s see if it is. Look, he’s a very dishonest man; I’ve been saying it for a long time. I think I did our country a great fire — a really great favor when I fired him. And we’ll see what happens. We’ll see what the report says. But I guess it just got announced that it’s coming out on June 14th, so that’ll be maybe a nice birthday present. Who knows.

Angels Camp, CA...In January 2017 I took the oath of office to serve as a Supervisor of Calaveras County.

The District 8 State Senate Seat is being vacated by Tom Berryhill as he is being term limited out.
San Andreas, CA...Calaveras County June 5th Election Results. We just checked in with the elections office in San Andreas and they are getting all of the absentee ballots queued up for the first tabulating run after 8pm. Typically first results are reported 8:30 - 8:45pm. Then it is the waiting game as the precincts come in to see if there are enough votes to change the initial results in tight races. Most experts are expecting the contested races to head to November but there may be a few surprises for some races where one party's vote is split. Yes the result post is looooong but that is the only way to show the Measure A results without scrolling.
