The issue regarding the firing of FBI Director James Comey is not complicated. For a number of years, Russia has been undermining democracies around the world through increasingly sophisticated cyber-warfare. There is no question that they played a significant role in the 2016 U.S. elections in helping to elect Trump. In a bi-partisan approach, members of Congress have demanded to know whether the Trump campaign may have colluded with the Russians in that effort. Last week, Comey made it clear that there was an ongoing investigation into that question. The New York Times reported today that days before he was fired he requested a significant increase in resources to pursue that investigation. He was scheduled to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee tomorrow. And yesterday he was fired. The key question is: What is Trump afraid of? Why did he want to torpedo Comey's investigation? We need an independently appointed special counsel to tell us

Trump lehnt Russland-Sonderermittler ab

Kurz vor seiner Entlassung soll Ex-FBI-Chef Comey geplant haben, die Ermittlungen um die russische Beeinflussung der Präsidentschaftswahl auszuweiten. Dabei stehen auch Trump-Vertraute im Visier. Einen Sonderermittler in dem Fall lehnt die aber Regierung ab.

"Justice Department: Report that Comey asked for more money for Russia probe is 'totally false'

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/justic...article/2622678

WASHINGTON - Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to resign from his position only two weeks after entering office, as a result of the White House's handling of the decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, according to a report published on Thursday morning in The Washington Post.

The known actions that led to Comey’s dismissal raise as many questions as answers. Why was Sessions (Chef of Justice Department) involved in discussions about the fate of the man leading the FBI’s Russia investigation, after having recused himself from the probe because he had falsely denied under oath his own past communications with the Russian ambassador?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...m=.65d510efc987

Kommisch dass Rosenstein das Memorandum unterschrieben hat:

"Although the President has the power to remove an FBI director, the decision should not be taken lightly. I agree with the nearly unanimous opinions of former Department officials. The way the Director handled the conclusion of the email investigation was wrong. As a result, the FBI is unlikely to regain public and congressional trust until it has a Director who understands the gravity of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them. Having refused to admit his errors, the Director cannot be expected to implement the necessary corrective actions."

Da solltest Du Dir überlegen ebenfalls Deine Position zu räumen, denn wer hat sich die aufgeblähten und verlogenen Behauptungen Trumps in Sachen:

1) Obama hat mich abhören lassen

2) e-mail-affaire

3) Benghazi-Attentat

mehr zu eigen gemacht als Du?

Du unterliegst einer Täuschung, geschuldet einer sehr tendenziösen Anti-Haltung.
Ich habe keine Position bezogen, sondern versuche nur Fakten zu bewerten.

1. DieTrump-Mannschaft wurde abgehört...das ist eine Tatsache. Ungeklärt bleibt, ob das politisch motiviert war oder nicht.
2. e-mail Affaire der Frau Clinton ist eine Tatsache. Dass das eine Verletzung der geltenden Gesetze war ist auch eine Tatsache. Ob das aber eine zu einer strafrechtlichen Verfolgung hätte führen müssen ist strittig.
3. Benghazi-Attentat? weiß nicht, was du dazu meinst.

Interessant, dass du zu Rosensteins Memorandum nichts mehr zu sagen hast.

Trump firing of Comey smells of attempted obstruction of justice

Die größten Fans vom radikalen Immobilen-Makler dürften inzwischen, dank ihm selbst, nicht mehr in den USA, sondern bei den klammheimlichen Bündnispartnern Saudi-Arabien & Israel zu finden sein - zumindest innerhalb der dortigen extremistischen und pro-dschihadistischen Regime.

Obamacare, ein Erfolg:
"Health insurance giant Aetna said Wednesday that it will not be participating in any Obamacare exchanges in 2018.

"Our individual commercial products lost nearly $700 million between 2014 and 2016, and are projected to lose more than $200 million in 2017 despite a significant reduction in membership," T.J. Crawford, Aetna spokesman, said in an email."

White House says Russia ‘tricked us’ by publishing Oval Office photos
They’re “furious,” but it’s not like they didn’t know the photographer was there.

Er wurde mal wieder gerollt, die Flasche in orange. Von seinen Marionetten handlern in Moskau. Das most inept White House, das ich in meinem Leben gesehen habe. Und das waren bislang 12.
Dieses Land ist in grosser Gefahr.

Nicht nur dass Trumpsky sich mit seinen Handlern trifft -einen Tag nachdem er seinen FBI Chef gefeuert hat, der der gegen ihn ermittelt, die russische TASS wird nun auch zur alleinigen Quelle fuer die amerikanische Presse, denen der Zutritt versagt wurde.
Diese russischen Typen im Oval Office, das hat es seit Jahren nicht mehr gegeben. Aus gutem Grunde. Mann, Mann, Mann.

Trump’s Meeting With Russian Officials Was Closed To Media — Except Gov’t
“Apparently the TASS person was admitted at the request of the Russian Foreign Ministry as the official photographer for the Russian side,” Sitov added in a later email. “He is permanently assigned to cover FM Lavrov. His pictures from the meeting are available at the Russian FM’s Flickr. I was not even aware of this.” The Foreign Ministry’s Flickr page can be found here.

Firing James Comey Was All About Trump’s Greatest Fear
The urgency of the firing combined with the bizarre language of Trump’s letter betrays his deep fear of being revealed.

Sometimes it’s necessary to state the obvious. The firing of FBI Director James Comey is not about his job performance and especially his handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails. It’s all about Donald J. Trump.
Consider Trump’s terse letter of termination to Comey. Here’s the key passage:

"While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau."

The bolded phrase is remarkable. Trump is at pains to suggest that Comey is not investigating him, yet the FBI is indeed looking into Russian influence in the 2016 election, including ties between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.
Whether you believe the whole Russian influence dispute is a made-up scandal, or perhaps a red herring, so to speak, the fact is that Trump sees it as a major threat to his prerogatives and power. That’s why he’s at pains to state bluntly that Comey is not investigating him. Comey, Trump says, told him three times ― three times! ― he’s not under investigation.

The president doth protest too much.

Donald Trump’s Story About Why He Fired FBI Director James Comey Is Already Falling Apart

Trump Once Again Invites Questions And Doubts About His Stability
“None of this is anywhere close to normal.”

“None of this is anywhere close to normal,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told HuffPost. “The danger is that every day this exhausting dysfunction continues, it feels less exceptional. This country has never been through this and it is getting more bizarre and more troubling every single day. At some point Republicans have to pull the plug and say, ‘Enough is enough, this is a real threat to democratic norms.’”

Die Republikaner befinden sich at cross roads. Entweder sie machen dem Wahnsinn ein Ende -oder werden komplizit. Und tragen dann die Verantwortung fuer alles was kommt.

Deputy Attorney General Reportedly Threatened To Quit Over Comey Backlash
Rod Rosenstein may have chafed at the White House narrative that he was the driving force behind the firing.

Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general tasked with drafting a memo to explain the removal Tuesday of FBI Director James Comey, threatened to resign after he was painted by the Trump administration as the mind behind the firing, according to The Washington Post.

The Post, citing an anonymous source close to the White House, said Rosenstein felt like he was “cast as the prime mover of the decision to fire Comey,” when in fact he was asked by administration officials to draft the memo after President Donald Trump had already decided to fire the FBI director.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/rod-...kushpmg00000009

Comey called Trump ‘crazy’ after Obama wiretapping claims: report
Former FBI Director James Comey reportedly told associates in March that President Trump was "crazy" for suggesting former President Barack Obama had wiretapped him.

Comey also called the president “outside the realm of normal,” according to a report from The New York Times on Wednesday.
The Times said that, in return, Trump was furious when Comey publicly refused to back his claims that he was wiretapped during the 2016 campaign before the House Intelligence Committee in March.
Comey said during the March 20 hearing that the FBI had “no information” supporting Trump’s allegations.

The White House’s Collage of Lies
I mentioned in the earlier post that it feels to me like the White House is losing control of this story. I want to follow up by looking at what White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in today’s presser. She said a lot that was all over the place. But I want to focus on her essentially giving three overlapping and at least partly contradictory explanations for why the President fired James Comey. ....

...The problem is that the President acts like an impulsive child, with very little forethought to most of his actions. He routinely does or says things that are either facially absurd or deeply incriminating. It’s hard to make those claims and actions make sense or seem like anything but what they are.

Donald Trump’s Constantly Changing Lies Are Making Life Impossible for His Defenders
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/201...-defenders.html

Trump Once Praised Comey for How He Handled the Clinton Email Probe — Now He’s Firing Him for It
President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey on the recommendation of his Deputy Attorney General, who cited Comey’s handling of the Clinton email probe as grounds for firing. But during the campaign, candidate Trump (and current Attorney General Jeff Sessions) praised those same actions.
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/201...ng-him-for.html

Voters Describe Trump As ‘Idiot’ and ‘Liar’ in Disastrous New Poll
Over the last week, Quinnipiac University asked Americans for the first word that comes to mind when they think of President Trump. The answer given more times than any other was “idiot,” followed by “incompetent” and “liar.”

Given the above sentiment, there’s little surprise that Trump is down to a 36 percent approval rating in the university’s latest national poll. The mark sits just one percentage point above the 35 percent approval rating he got on April 4, his lowest since taking office.

It’s not just the approval rating. Every number in this poll is bad. The majority of Americans say Trump is “not honest,” lacks leadership skills, doesn’t care about average Americans, is not “level-headed,” and does not share their values. On the economy, immigration, foreign policy, and terrorism, more Americans disapprove than approve of the job he’s doing.
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/201...s-new-poll.html

23 Reasons Trump’s Firing of James Comey Is a World-Historic Shit Show
“It’s insane. The whole thing is just insane.” — Anonymous White House official.

1. The president just fired the man tasked with overseeing the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
2. The White House’s official explanation for the firing insults the intelligence of the American people.
3. The deputy attorney general who wrote the memo explaining the White House’s rationale for Comey’s firing (reportedly) threatened to resign after realizing that responsibility for the decision was being pinned on him and not Trump.
4. The White House finally admitted Wednesday night that Trump decided he wanted to fire Comey and then asked the Justice Department for a rationale.
5. Trump was (reportedly) furious at Comey for refusing to corroborate his baseless felony accusation against his predecessor.
6. He also, reportedly, believed it was the FBI director’s job to declare him innocent of all wrongdoing — and focus the bureau’s resources on tracking down leakers — if the president ordered him to do so.
7. The president apparently wants an FBI director who would relish the thought of rigging an election in his favor.
8. The president began the second paragraph of his letter to Comey with the phrase, “While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation …”
9. … Comey’s associates say he told Trump no such thing.
10. Comey (reportedly) requested additional resources for the Russia investigation days before he was dismissed.
11. Hours before Comey’s firing, CNN learned that federal prosecutors had issued grand jury subpoenas to associates of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
12. Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation — and then advised the president to fire the man leading the Russia investigation.
13. The president sent his personal bodyguard to fire the director of the FBI.
14. Most of the White House staff learned of the decision by seeing it reported on television.
15. Comey also learned of his firing from television — in the middle of a speech to FBI employees in Los Angeles.
16. The White House press secretary was so uncomfortable defending the firing he hid from reporters in the bushes, only emerging once they agreed to turn off the lights so they couldn’t film him.
17. Trump’s other top surrogate directly contradicted the White House’s official rationale for the firing.
18. The White House (reportedly) believed that firing the guy leading an investigation into the Trump campaign would inspire accolades from elected Democrats and yawns from the media.
19. Speaking of which: The president freaking met with Russia’s foreign minister the day after Comey’s dismissal — despite the fact that Putin’s regime is widely suspected of abetting an attempt to interfere with the French election last week.
20. For advice on what to do about Comey, Trump (reportedly) turned to longtime confidante Roger Stone — a (reported) subject of the FBI’s investigation.
21. After a long night of Nixon analogies, reporters discovered Trump with Henry Kissinger Wednesday morning.
22. A source close to the FBI director is saying that Comey was fired because he failed to demonstrate loyalty to Trump — and was making too much progress on his investigation.
23. The FBI director had (reportedly) become increasingly concerned by evidence of collusion between Trump associates and Russia.

"3. The deputy attorney general who wrote the memo explaining the White House’s rationale for Comey’s firing (reportedly) threatened to resign after realizing that responsibility for the decision was being pinned on him and not Trump.
10. Comey (reportedly) requested additional resources for the Russia investigation days before he was dismissed."

Die gesamte Trump Camarilla, einschliesslich seiner Apologeten, sind alle in den Luegen des Luegenbarons gefangen. Und machen sich jeden Tag nur noch mehr laecherlich. Und natuerlich auch komplizit in der Charade, weil sie sich den Luegen nicht entgegenstellen, sondern diese weitertragen und auch noch verteidigen. Mit immer mehr Geluege.

They’re Trapped in His Lies
I mentioned earlier that we shouldn’t forget this simple point. Virtually everyone of note in the White House has already repeated and vouched for President Trump’s story of how and why he fired James Comey. Not only was this story a plain absurdity on day one; all the information which has emerged over the last two days has tended to confirm its falsity. Here’s the key point. Everyone who has repeated it knows it’s false. They have knowingly lied on the President’s behalf and about a matter of grave national importance. That includes the Vice President. So in the extreme scenario that the President leaves office and is succeeded by the Vice President, the sitting President will still be directly implicated in this lie and this cover-up.

But there’s an additional problem for everyone in the White House and all the President’s defenders in Congress. And it’s a big one.

It’s not only that the President has implicated all of these people in his lies and deceptions about Comey’s firing. It is that he will not even stick to his story.

So just a short time ago, NBC released footage of its interview with the President conducted by Lester Holt. In that interview Trump is crystal clear that he decided to fire Comey entirely on his own. He asked Rosenstein to write out his views. But he was going to fire Comey regardless. That specifically contradicts what Pence said in an impromptu press conference yesterday on Capitol Hill.

Seine Apologeten haben either no mind or no shame. Or are missing both.

Immer mehr "fake news" von NYT und WP? Diese blasse Unterstellung soll Trump wohl in Schutz nehmen, aber eigentlich imitierst Du ihn nur.

Heute hat Trumpsky seine eigenen Leute -einschliesslich den Vice President- der Luege ueberfuehrt!

White House Denies It Was In The Dark On Timing Of Trump’s Decision To Fire Comey
White House deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders on Thursday denied that members of President Donald Trump’s administration were left in the dark about the timing of Trump’s decision to fire James Comey as director of the FBI.

ABC reporter Jon Karl asked Sanders during the daily White House press briefing to explain the disparity between official accounts — including Sanders’ own — regarding Comey’s termination.

Sanders said on Tuesday that Trump acted on a recommendation from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. On Wednesday, she changed that account slightly, saying that Trump had “been considering letting Director Comey go since the day he was elected.”

Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday said several times that Trump decided to “accept the recommendation of the deputy attorney general and the attorney general to remove Director Comey.”

Trump on Thursday blew up that narrative entirely when he told NBC News’ Lester Holt that he had already decided to fire Comey “regardless of recommendation.”
