President Trump reportedly urged then-FBI Director James Comey to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to a memo by Comey. The memo, which could serve as evidence in court, was written after a meeting where Trump allegedly expressed his hope that Comey would let the investigation go. The White House has denied these claims, asserting Trump's respect for law enforcement. The investigation into Flynn continues, with calls from both Democrats and some Republicans for Comey to testify before Congress, highlighting the serious implications for Trump's presidency.

Why do police officers keep killing unarmed black men?
12 Mar 2015
|
www.dailydot.com
|
English
| Justice System
The article discusses the ongoing issue of police officers killing unarmed black men in America, highlighting recent incidents and the broader pattern of violence. It examines the underlying causes, such as lack of training, implicit racial bias, and the legal protections that shield officers from accountability. The resignations of Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson and chief executive John Shaw are mentioned as steps toward progress, but activists argue that more substantial changes are needed. The article suggests that ending qualified immunity and holding officers personally responsible for their actions could prevent future violence.

The article argues that the real perpetrators of the 2016 DNC hacks were Ukrainian hacker groups working with Ukrainian intelligence, not the Russian government or Julian Assange. It claims that these groups, including Cyber Alliance, RUH8, and CyberHunta, were active from 2014 and collaborated with Crowdstrike and other entities. The article criticizes the FBI, ODNI, CIA, NSA, and other organizations for complicity and failure to investigate properly. It calls for a reassessment of sanctions on Russia and a reckoning for Ukraine's actions.

Biden books are still bombing

| Publishing Industry
Books about Joe Biden have struggled to achieve significant sales compared to those about Donald Trump. Authors and publishers attribute this to Biden's less dramatic presidency, which lacks the sensationalism that drove high sales during the Trump era. Despite efforts from various journalists and authors, including Jonathan Allen, Amie Parnes, and Franklin Foer, Biden-focused books have not resonated as strongly with readers. The publishing industry has seen a decline in interest for political books post-Trump, with many Biden-related titles failing to make bestseller lists or achieve substantial sales.

Democrats Asked To Get Rid Of Comey
10 May 2017

Medium
|
English
| Russian Interference in U.S. Elections
The article discusses the Democratic Party's criticism of former FBI Director James Comey, suggesting that their actions may have inadvertently weakened their position against President Trump. Hillary Clinton, in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, blamed Comey for her loss in the 2016 election. The article suggests that while Democrats were initially focused on policy issues, their attention shifted to discrediting Comey and investigating Trump's ties to Russia. The author argues that the Democrats' strategy of attacking Comey could backfire if Russian meddling allegations escalate. The article also touches on the broader challenges Democrats face in accepting Trump's presidency and their successful campaign to discredit Comey, which they did not anticipate would result in his dismissal by Trump.

FBI Director James B. Comey has warned that the presence of Islamic State in the U.S. is becoming 'the new normal,' with the agency tracking hundreds of plots across the country. Despite no major attacks since 9/11, the FBI is investigating numerous cases involving Islamic State and other terrorist groups. Experts like Brian Michael Jenkins argue that the domestic threat is relatively low, with most U.S.-based sympathizers being isolated individuals. Gloria C.
