Curious man, Donald JOHN Trump.
Lol. He probably hired one of those guys you see in a B film or Elmore Leonard novel with the Hawaiian shirt, messy office and a cigar hanging out his mouth.

i've always believed that when trump referred to "his investigators" he was referring to gerome corsi and mike zullo, who did go to hawaii around that time ( with a paid deputy from joe arpaio ) and did nothing more then make bumbling fools of themselves.

As for the Allies of American, we aren't laughing because it's distressing to realize the once power Ally (USA) has become toothless and is incrementally dismantling "Western Values" as well as sense of comfort believing the USA would stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Loss of Trust by just about all Allies will take a long time to gain back.

Instead, ( at last up here in Canada) when anyone mentions Trump name, or one of the many stupid comments or make up alternate facts... Everybody does the collective EYE ROLL and Shakes their Heads!! It's hard to grasp how far USA reputation has degraded since he took over it's Leadership!

At least you guys can still go to Cuba for a weekend. Trump's acting like this is the USSR and restricting our travel! Can't believe anyone besides 85 year-old Cuban exiles are ok with this.

Putin loves it though. Trump's gifting Cuba to him and he's getting a naval base to boot. Don't tell me Vlad doesn't have something on Donny.

"...As the economic and political crisis deepens in Venezuela – Cuba’s post-Soviet patron – Russia is eager to regain its once diminished sphere of influence over our island neighbor....One obvious way to mitigate Russian influence in our hemisphere is through enhanced engagement with Cuba....There are also reports that Russia is in conversations with Cuba to reopen a military base near Havana..."

His tweet did make sense. Rosenstein's memo advised Trump to dump Comey. That means Trump is being accused of and being investigated for obstruction of justice for taking the action R advised. It doesn't matter whether T would have fired Comey regardless of the memo. The act is the same.

Trump said in the Lester Holt interview that his mind was made up that he was going to fire Comey and it was his decision. That puts obstruction back on Trump's shoulders and it exonerates Rosenstein.

Yup. It was Trumps decision. It IS true that Rosenstein may have to recuse himself (as he said he would if the investigation turns to Comey's firing - which it appears to be doing) but that doesn't change the fact that Trump HIMSELF said it was HIS decision alone to fire Comey.
Once again Trump has shot himself in the foot.

Exactly. Trump is incapable of keeping his story straight for 5 minutes. I've said from the beginning, get him under oath, there's no way he can resist lying because he does it all the time.
