No. After 8 years, the period of time being the key here. He was a crap President. Drawing a red line over Syria but then doing nothing. He was a weak President. Continued to let Kim Fat-Un, in North Korea spin his threats and did nothing when he launched several under ground Nuclear tests in the Korean Peninsula.

GOP Complaining about him being totally justified for just being a sitting duck and lame President.

Trump, several months in office and the liberal, journalistic world is in meltdown, who will not accept she lost, should have chosen Bernie Sanders then, they backed the wrong horse and lost.

Democrats have nothing, they are in a minority in both chambers of Congress and they lost the White House, the only thing they have left is to piss and moan and protest and jump with the liberal journalists, whenever they think they have a negative scoop and all they care about is impeachment because they cannot accept she lost. :zzz:

Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Well we don't know yet. It appears this is just one of the documents Corney has according to the article and maybe he is waiting until congress calls him to justify to release more and enter testimony to the record.

The (Republican) head of the House Oversight Committee has already requested the memo and any other documents to investigate it. There may be nothing there but that's probably going to be decided by congress.

At this rate Trump is more likely to get in serious trouble over how he is acting over this investigation than anything the investigation, left to it's own devices, might find. It's often said that it's the cover-up that kills you but it's something else if that cover-up is of something that was never a problem in the first place.

Trump would do better to say 'there is nothing there, you go ahead with the investigation to confirm it' rather than acting up. If you're worried about partisan interference from congress than appoint a Special Prosecutor or an Independent bi-partisan commission. At the moment, even if there is nothing there at all, he isn't helping himself.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

the world's not that unstable but he might be....

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

There has not been a cover up though. The investigation still is ongoing McCabe, acting FBI Director made a legal testimony that there had been no effort to impede the investigation. If there was ever a trial with Trump in the dock, I'd say this was a start to great defence.

If Trump said 'I hope you can let this go, Flynn is a good guy' and Comey has apparently said in response, 'I agree, he is a good guy.' Comey is hanging himself out to dry for sitting on this, if true and not reporting the alleged conversation with congress at the time. Democrats can scream obstruction of justice, impeachment blah blah, all they want but from a legal standpoint, no crime has been committed because the investigation is still ongoing, firing Comey did not and would not stop it.

I was watching CNN last night and even they had a lawyer on saying it was not obstruction of justice. That Comey sitting on this, if it's true, that him doing nothing, could see himself in trouble.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Trump doesn't need to justify himself on the sharing of information, he has had his surrogates backing him up saying no secrets were shared and has been said already, even if Trump did, he is the executive branch and has the authority to declassify anything he seems fit.

The problem at the moment in the White House is leakers, people trying to stitch Trump up by running to the liberal Press with so called conversations. I said this at the start of his Presidency, there will be people around him always attempting to stick the knife in.

I have come to the conclusion that while the Founding Fathers attempted to create a perfect democratic system with checks and balances over 200 years ago, their workings are flawed because there is this constant rivalry and in fighting and that in some instance, while there is an official government, there is a secret government in play that tries all it can to unpick the official one. You only have to way up history and the Asassination of President John F. Kennedy and the conspiracy surrounding it, with fingers pointing at the CIA with assumption being they did not like the Kennedy's.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

They didn't want a king.

Although I think you're referring more to the bureaucracy rather than the balances of powers?

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Yes, something like that, while I understand the workings of the Electoral College, it's the inner workings of the Constitution that I think sometimes it may be flawed.

There should be a independent system that does the checks and balances, right now it depends on political parties, who naturally have an axe to grind with their opposition. I absolutely agree Trump needs to be investigated but by a non-biased political entity.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

I think you would get resistance from almost any democratic system if the bureaucracy is uncooperative. Imagine how the civil service could cripple the government here if they really wanted. The United States, for better or worse, has more political appointments than we do though. I prefer our system as moving staff in and out of positions every 4/8 years seems inefficient.

Well the judiciary is the third, independent, branch. Many judges are political appointees but are then immune from political interference. Trump has the other branch in the hands of the Republicans.

A special prosecutor is the best solution here. Independent of congress and the White House.

Trump is trying a more peaceful solution by building good relations with China to put pressure on North Korea. Who's the dumb/smart one in this scenario?


Trump along with Brexit is standing up against globalisation; a big thrust of which is done via multinational trade deals. He has cancelled TPP, TTIP (now dead) would never have got off the ground under Trump and NAFTA will be renegotiated. Obama and Hillary were/are globalists. Trump is bringing jobs back to the US and has cut illegal immigration from Mexico by 70% since taking office. He has appointed a Supreme court judge with traditional moral standards, repealed the Johnson amendment, giving all religions freedom of political views without financial penalties and curtailed lobbying. And shown that there is someone in charge who will not let a red line be crossed when he strategically attacked Syria.

The Deputy Attorney General has appointed a 'special counsel' to oversee the Russian investigation.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rober...es_bsq_related

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

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

So, this so called ghost memo appears, apparently written by the fired former FBI Director, James Comey and this memo is suppose to outline that Comey was pressured to drop the Flynn investigation by Trump....

...But hold on a tick, on May 3rd just over two weeks ago, months after this so called Feb meeting with Trump and Comey, Comey Testifies under oath that in his experience, the FBI has not been told for political reasons to drop any investigation.....

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

The questioner is referring to the Attorney General or Department of Justice and if they can halt it. Since the accusation here is that it was the White House it doesn't contradict that statement so he won't get in trouble about being under oath.

Either way we'll see if Corney has anything more substantive to the accusation next week.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

that's very liberal of you to forgive a lie under oath ,one assumes it is of course a one sided event and no forgiveness would be afforded to the accused your honor .

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Sorry but I disagree. Comey specifically says, 'I'm talking about a sitiuation where the FBI is told to stop doing something, for political reasons, that would be a very big deal, it's not happened in my experience.'

No where in that sentence does he say, 'It's not happened in my experience, but saying that, the President of the United States did ask me to halt it.'

Comey saying in his testimony that it's a big deal to be told to stop an FBI investigation, that he should not have said under Oath, that it has not happened in his experience, he said it twice.

No one has seen this memo, it was dictated down the phone to the New York Times reporter by an anonymous source. Too convenient in my book.

Lots of lawyers and Attorneys backing Trump on this one.

For Comey to come out now and be asked, did the President of the United States, tell you to end Flynn investigation? And he says, yes, as an investigation committee member, I would be referring to his May 3rd testimony and say, 'So, Mr Comey, did you tell a lie, under oath, that in your experience, being told to stop an investigation for political reasons never happened and when you made that statement, again under oath, if it was such a big deal for the FBI to be told to stop an investigation, surely it's an even bigger deal, that an instruction is passed to you by the President of the United States?'

It was so corny that these two liberal news outlets both posted a story at the time Trump boarded Air Force one.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Sometimes you simply only have anonymous sources to go on. It's not a case of "Do the invoices exist?" or "Is there an x-ray?" Journalists have to make judgments. Poor judgments will result in those newspapers failing. The fact that the New York Times has been going since 1851 and has a robust investigative record suggests the paper generally gets it right.

There will obviously be a few Trumpsters or Hillaryheads commenting on every article but I doubt they're investigative reporters.

2. "which is surely progress from two years ago?" which is formally a question and does have a question mark after it.
