Arkansas Granny's JournalMSNBC's Maddow perfectly nails how the right wing duped Comey
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Thursday night zeroed in on a key fact about former FBI Director James Comey’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails that has gone largely overlooked in the new Department of Justice inspector general report.
As she pointed out, the report finds that James Comey’s decision to release a letter announcing the reopening of the email investigation days before the election — an action that plausibly swung the election to Donald Trump — he made a crucial calculation.
“The inspector general finds that James Comey just didn’t care if he might be seen as acting in a way that might hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign,” she said. “But he really, really, really cared and he took great extraordinary action to avoid appearing like he might be helping Hillary Clinton in any way. that’s how he weighed those two consequences.

Iran warns North Korea: Trump could cancel deal before getting home
Tehran cited its own experience in offering the advice to Kim a month after Washington withdrew from a similar deal with Iran.
Trump and Kim pledged at a meeting in Singapore on Tuesday to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula while Washington committed to provide security guarantees for its old enemy.
“We don’t know what type of person the North Korean leader is negotiating with. It is not clear that he would not cancel the agreement before returning home,” Iranian government spokesman Mohammad Bagher Nobakht was quoted as saying by IRNA new agency.

ETA: This didn't take long! (bolding mine).
Mr. McConnell left the window open for some other method of congressional approval, but said he preferred the treaty route, which would elevate the deal to binding law that couldn’t be wiped away by a future administration.

Senators also seemed to tamp down on Mr. Trump’s suggestion that he was canceling joint military exercises with South Korea.
Sen. Cory Gardner, Colorado Republican, said Vice President Mike Pence had suggested that the exercises won’t be halted.

Finally, someone is saying it.
Donald Trump Looks And Acts Mentally Ill, Says CNBC Correspondent John Harwood
'I’ll be honest, as a citizen, I’m concerned about the President’s state of mind,' he says.
Donald Trump looks and talks like a person who is mentally ill, says CNBC correspondent John Harwood, and others at the network are also questioning the president’s sanity, Mediaite is reporting.
Trump’s behavior at the G7 summit, during which he’s railed against “unfair” trade practices with America’s closest allies, suggested allowing Russia back into the fold, threatening retaliatory tariffs, and criticized presidents going back to the Eisenhower administration, has been described as “harsh” even by Fox News. But for Harwood and his CNBC colleagues, it’s more concerning than that.

Just tell us what Vladimir has on you

Republican morals in a nutshell.

Another big story that got drowned out by the Roseanne brouhaha on Tuesday was that Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens resigned. Greitens is a Rhodes Scholar, former Navy SEAL and humanitarian who was named by Fortune as one of the world’s 50 greatest leaders. https://buff.ly/2sqn7YW

I wonder why he didn't mention the rape, the blackmail, misuse of his charities funds, etc? I guess it just slipped his mind.
Why in the hell is the Clinton/Lewinsky affair big news today?
Did he screw up? Yes, he did. Should he have exercised better self control? Of course he should have.
It has been 20 years, he was impeached for lying about the affair and made a public apology at the time. Why do we need to go back and revisit that whole episode now and conclude that it wasn't enough? He's not running for office and he's not been accused of any recent sexual misconduct.
This is nothing more than a distraction to steer the conversation away from the Mueller investigation and Trump's authoritarian statements. The closer Mueller gets to Trump, the more smokescreens they are going to throw out there. They want to change the subject and, if possible, create dissent in the Democratic party. As we approach the 2018 election were going to see even more of this.
About that pardon. . . .

President Nixon asked the Department of Justice if he could pardon himself. They said no, as no one may be the judge in their own case. He resigned three days later.
In case you want to follow the Nixon model, that would be Thursday. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1003616210922147841 …
