So General Michael Flynn’s life can be totally destroyed while Shadey James Comey can Leak and Lie and make lots of money from a third rate book (that should never have been written). Is that really the way life in America is supposed to work? I don’t think so!

You fired him for lying to your Vice-President and the FBI...

I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!

Does this make Comey the Real Jim Shadey?

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
Democrats are hilarious. News coming out from the U.S this afternoon that the Democratic Party have filed a lawsuit against Russia, Wikileaks and Trump Campaign because they say they all colluded to help Trump win the election.
This is good news because in the ‘Discovery’ process they will likely have to turn over the DNC servers they say were hacked, they were never examined by the FBI. It also shows they are showing signs of desperation. Bring it on you clowns.

It wasn’t the firing that ruined his life, it was the subsequent legal wranglings that followed and expensive legal bills. Btw.. These Comey Memos vindicate Trump.
Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
Perhaps he shouldn’t have lied to the Vice-President and the FBI, then he wouldn’t have had any legal bills.
btw, they don’t - they confirm everything Comey said previously, about Trump’s obsession with personal loyalty and the pressure put in him to drop the Flynn investigation. The so-called ‘vindication’ is that Comey never stated in the memos that he felt obstructed or threatened, or that he felt obstructed in his investigation.
The obstruction question turns on what happened after this, which is that Trump fired Comey. These memos confirm the level of acquiescence that Trump wanted but did not get from Comey before firing him, and go further than before in supplying Trump’s likely motive for the firing. In Trump’s own words “I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
The memos confirm that Trump did try to exert a level of control over his FBI director, and over an ongoing investigation into his and his circles’ conduct, that is completely at odds with normal behaviours dictating that law enforcement should be free of presidential interference.

Yes they do.
There is no obstruction of justice, in the memos themselves, Trump asks for the Russia investigation to continue around his associates, that is not obstructing justice, Comey testified last year that he did not take the words Trump said as a direct order to let Flynn go, that's if Trump said that and as Devin Nunes points out, Comey never mentioned once he felt pressured or felt justice was being obstructed.
There is plenty of things Comey should have done, but didn't because he had poor judgement, he said McCabe was an honourable guy, we know this is bollocks, given the IG report just out that he lied, several times under Oath and lacked Candor, how the hell can that be traits of an honourable guy, what utter BS.
As fellow Law enforcement employees have suggested, the minute Comey felt pressured he should have resigned his post immediately, like Senators asked Comey, during his testimony last year, why didn't he approach White House Counsel, or Chief of Staff and say, it's not appropriate for me to be alone with the President?
He didn't, he also kept the information from the Trump that the fake Russian dossier was funded by his loser opponent and her campaign team and the DNC. He also would not reveal Trump himself was not under investigation and that this was the cloud Trump wanted clearing, Comey refused, so Trump Fired him and he had the Constitutional Authority to do so. It is NOT obstruction of justice, so I repeat the memos vindicate Trump.
Here is a recent interview with Comey on CNN with Jake Tapper, it's one of the better interviews out there to say this was CNN, Comey was asked if he hated Trump, Comey said he definitely doesn't hate him. Comey says in his view Trump is the legitimate President of the United States but does not rate his values and up to his firing, had not seen any evidence Russians had compromising material on Trump...
French President Emmanuel Macron has used his speech to the joint houses of the US Congress to denounce nationalism and isolationism.
Mr Macron said such policies were a threat to global prosperity.
US leader Donald Trump has been accused of stoking nationalism and promoting isolationism through his America First.
But Mr Macron said that the US had invented multilateralism and now needed to reinvent it to create a new 21st Century world order.
The French president was given a three-minute standing ovation as he took his place in the chamber for his speech.
Good to see at least the French president is confronting the Donald over his crazy isolationist, climate warming, world destroying policies. Unlike our sycophantic Government, who are too scared to say anything.
Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
I didn't realise you were so high up in government circles that you knew everything that is communicated between the UK and the U.S MrK, oh that's right your not.

So much for Macron's 'special relationship' with The Donald. I think Britain remains unassailable in that department at present!
I'm really looking forward to Merkel's meeting with Trumpy. That should be a good scrap!
US President Donald Trump will visit the UK in July, according to reports.
Sky News quoted sources as saying that he would carry out the trip in mid-July of this year.
The visit is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.

Unlike the UK, Macron took Trump seriously and it's paid off. We should have listened to Mick.

Britain looked on like the cheated partner as Mr Trump described his French counterpart as his “special friend” and described the two countries as each other’s “oldest allies”.
This wasn’t in the Brexiteer script.
Trump’s America and Brexit Britain were supposed to be inseparable partners in touch with popular anger about remote global elites and partners in the crusade against globalisation.
That’s what Theresa May intended when she rushed to meet Mr Trump in his first week in office with the promise of a full state visit; that’s what Boris Johnson was thinking as he headed off to Trump Tower to cosy up to fellow Right-wing populist Steve Bannon.
Now it’s the Marseillaise being played on the White House lawn, and it’s the self-appointed French leader of the liberal internationalist world order who has the ear of the President.

Donald Trump should win a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end the standoff over North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme, South Korea’s president has suggested.
Moon Jae-in said he was “confident a new era of peace will unfold on the Korean peninsula” following a historic summit last week during which Seoul and Pyongyang pledged to end decades of hostilities and work towards “complete denuclearisation”.
