Huoli. Etlan toimitusjohtajan Vesa Vihriälän mukaan presidentti Donald Trump näyttää toteuttavan kauppapoliittiset uhkauksensa. KUVA: JENNI GÄSTGIVAR
Etlan Vesa Vihriälän mukaan epävarmuutta on vaikea hinnoitella. Trumpin asettamat uudet tullit tekevät vähintään 0,1–0,2 prosentin loven Suomen bkt:hen.

Uusille kierrokselle lähteneen kauppasodan tähänastiset päätökset iskevät jo selvin numeroin myös Suomen vientiin ja bruttokansantuotteeseen (bkt). Elinkeinoelämän tutkimuslaitoksen Etlan arvion mukaan kauppavirtojen kautta tulevat suorat vaikutukset Suomen bkt:hen ovat presidentti Donald Trumpin tuoreen päätöksen jälkeen 0,1–0,2 prosentin luokkaa parin vuoden aikavälillä.
Mallilaskelmissa ei ole otettu huomioon odotusvaikutuksia.
”Luottamusvaikutukset voivat olla hyvinkin suuria”, sanoo Etlan toimitusjohtaja Vesa Vihriälä.
”Jos kauppasota vielä laajenee, niin yritysjohtajat alkavat herkästi miettiä, tuleeko vielä lisää. Halu etsiä uusia vientimarkkinoita hyytyy. Epävarmuus on myrkkyä investoinneille”, Vihriälä sanoo.
Vihriälän mukaan myös sopimukseton brexit vaikuttaisi kauppasodan tapaan paitsi suoriin kauppavirtoihin myös luottamukseen.
Epäluottamuksen vaikutuksen numeroita on vaikea esittää.

Etlasta huomautetaan, että arvonlisän muodostamisen kannalta Yhdysvallat on Suomelle tärkein vientimaa, sillä suoran viennin lisäksi mittava määrä suomalaisia tuotteita ja palveluja myydään Suomesta Yhdysvaltoihin kolmansien maiden kautta.
Trump on myötäsyklisellä politiikallaan pukannut lisää vauhtia Yhdysvaltojen talouskasvuun lyhyellä tähtäyksellä. Etlan ennusteen mukaan Yhdysvaltain bkt kasvaakin tänä ja ensi vuonna edelleen noin 2,5 prosentin vuosivauhtia. Kasvu kuitenkin hidastuu 1,6 prosenttiin 2020.
”Lyhyellä aikavälillä Trump on tukenut viime ja tänä vuonna kansainvälistä noususuhdannetta ja tukee jonkin verran vielä ensi vuonnakin, mutta kauppapolitiikan toimet ovat sellaisia, että ne vaikuttavat toiseen suuntaan”, Vihriälä sanoo.
”Näyttää siltä, että hän todella tekee, mitä lupaa. Se on kiusallinen piirre näissä uusissa populisteissa.”
Etla julkisti tiistaina ennusteen, jonka mukaan Suomen bkt kasvaa tänä vuonna 2,8 prosenttia. Kasvu hidastuu ensi vuonna 2,2 ja seuraavana vuonna 1,6 prosenttiin.
Etla listasi ennusteelle puolentusinaa riskiä maailmantaloudesta. Riskien kärjessä ovat kauppasodan kärjistyminen ja Britannian EU-eron päätyminen hakaukseen. Kotimaisena riskinä Etla näkee sen, että saavutettu palkkamaltti menetetään ensi vuoden lopulla alkavalla palkkakierroksella ja kilpailukyky alkaa taas rapautua.
Yksi positiivinenkin riski Etlan ennusteeseen mahtuu. Vaatimaton investointiennuste ei oleta, että yksikään suunnitteilla olevista uusista sellutehtaista ja biojalostamoista toteutuisi.
”Se on aika epärealistinen oletus. Luultavasti jokin toteutuu”, sanoo ennustepäällikkö Markku Lehmus.
Yksistään Kemijärven tai Kuopion sellutehdas nostaa toteutuessaan reippaasti ennustelukuja.
Vaikutuslaskelma
Etlan simuloinnissa on oletettu, että Yhdysvallat ja Kiina korottavat tariffeja vastavuoroisesti koko tavara- ja palvelukaupassaan. Yhdysvaltojen Kiinan-tuonnin arvo oli vuonna 2016 vajaat 500 miljardia dollaria ja Kiinan Yhdysvaltojen-tuonti noin 220 miljardia dollaria.
Laskelmassa tullimaksut nousevat 25 prosenttiyksikköä.
Shokin seurauksena Suomen bkt olisi 0,4 prosenttia pienempi vuonna 2021.

Hetkonen. Siis Trump saa tuhottua jo Obaman aikana hyvin alkaneen nousukauden ja se on jollain tavalla hyvä juttu?
 
Jeff Sessionsin lähtölaskenta on käynnissä ? Trump ilmoitti julkisesti olevansa pettynyt oikeusministeriinsä. Vihjaili mahdollisista potkuista. Ilmeisesti kaihertaa se, että Sessions jääväsi itsensä Venäjä-tutkimuksissa. Toisaalta, kuinka kauan oikeusministeri itse jaksaa kuunnella presidentin julkisia haukkumisia ennen kuin lähtee itse kävelemään ?

Tuo tuommoisia ns mediastuntteja jota presidentit tekevät aika ajoin ylläpitääkseen positiivista kuvaa.
 
Tuossa edellisellä viikolla tuli julkiseksi, että mitä entinen FBI agentti Lisa Page todisteli aikaisemmin kongressissa.

Page valan alla kertoi, että Strzokilla tai yleensä FBI:llä ei ollut minkäänlaista todistetta mistään yhteistyöstä Venäjän ja Trumpin kampanjan välillä. Ei edes erikoissyyttäjän nimittämisen aikaan.

The Hillin toimittaja kertoo, että se asettaa Carter Pagen FISA hakemuksen uusinnat outoon valoon. FISAn uusinnat ovat mahdollisia vain, jos on löytynyt todisteita. Muuten niitä ei uusita.

Trumpin odotetaan julkistavan FISA hakemuksen kokonaisuudessaan, jolloin selviää mitä sinne kirjoiteltiin. Hakemuksissa on siis pakko olla selvitys siitä, että mitä todistusaineistoa FBI on löytänyt Carter Pagesta.

Kuitenkin Lisa Page on nyt todistanut, ettei mitään löytynyt missään vaiheesa FB I tutkimuksia. Eli ts on mahdollista, että FISA hakemukseen on valehdeltu jotain.

Tosin itse veikkaan, että sinne on kirjoitettu ympäripyöreästi jotain; eli on annettu ymmärtää, mutta joka voidaan tarpeen tullen selittää myöhemmin toisin, jos homma lävähtää sormille. Siltikin Lisa Pagen todistus on ongelmallinen.

https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/4...t-prove-trump-russia-collusion-before-mueller


“It’s a reflection of us still not knowing,” Page told Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) when questioned about texts she and Strzok exchanged in May 2017 as Robert Muellerwas being named special counsel to take over the Russia investigation.

With that statement, Page acknowledged a momentous fact: After nine months of using some of the most awesome surveillance powers afforded to U.S. intelligence, the FBI still had not made a case connecting Trump or his campaign to Russia’s election meddling.

Page opined further, acknowledging “it still existed in the scope of possibility that there would be literally nothing” to connect Trump and Russia, no matter what Mueller or the FBI did.

“As far as May of 2017, we still couldn’t answer the question,” she said at another point.
 
Republikaanien tekemän tutkimuksen perusteella puolue saattaa ottaa syksyn vaaleissa kovasti takkiin koska puolueen kannattajat eivät usko puolueen aseman olevan uhattuna. Trump on puhunut republikaanien olevan matkalla vaalivoittoon kun taas mielipidetiedustelut povaavat suurehkoa voittoa demokraateille. Tutkimuksen mukaan republikaaniäänestäjien välinpitämättömyys vaaleja kohtaan on suorassa suhteessa heidän luottamukseensa Trumpin sanomisiin.
A private survey conducted for the Republican National Committee and obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek contains alarming news for Republicans hoping to hold on to control of Congress in November: Most Trump supporters don’t believe there’s a threat that Democrats will win back the House. President Trump’s boasts that a “red wave” could increase Republican majorities appear to have lulled GOP voters into complacency, raising the question of whether they’ll turn up at the polls.

While most election forecasters, as well as strategists in both parties, believe Democrats are likely to win the 23 seats necessary to take control of the House of Representatives, Republican voters aren’t convinced, the survey shows.

According to the RNC study, completed on Sept. 2 by the polling firm Public Opinion Strategies, most voters believe Democrats will win back the House—just not Republican voters. Fully half of self-identified Republicans don’t believe Democrats are likely to win back the House. And within that group, 57 percent of people who describe themselves as strong Trump supporters don’t believe Democrats have a chance (37 percent believe they do).

If overconfident Republican voters stay home, Democrats could win a landslide. The report urges GOP officials to yank their voters back to reality: “We need to make real the threat that Democrats have a good shot of winning control of Congress.”

The president instead has delivered the opposite message. At rallies and on Twitter, Trump has claimed that—contrary to conventional wisdom and polling—Republicans might actually increase their margin in November.

The internal RNC study finds that complacency among GOP voters is tied directly to their trust in the president—and their distrust of traditional polling. “While a significant part of that lack of intensity is undoubtedly due to these voters’ sentiments toward the President, it may also be partly because they don’t believe there is anything at stake in this election,” the authors write. “Put simply, they don’t believe that Democrats will win the House. (Why should they believe the same prognosticators who told them that Hillary was going to be elected President?)”

Trump joutui perumaan maanantaina antamansa käskyn tehdä julkisiksi Venäjä-tutkimuksen asiakirjoja. Oikeusministeriö sai lopulta Trumpin ymmärtämään että käynnissä olevan tutkimuksen käytössä olevien salaisten asiakirjojen julkaiseminen poliittisista syistä olisi edesvastuutonta ja olisi vahingollista kansalliselle turvallisuudelle. Trump ryhtyi asiakirjojen julkaisuun FOXNewsin Sean Hannityn, Lou Dobbsin ja Jeanine Pirron vaatimuksesta, presidentti ei itse lukenut lainkaan kyseisiä asiakirjoja.
President Trump on Friday walked back his order earlier this week to declassify information in the ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, saying Justice Department officials and others had persuaded him not to do so for the time being.

The retreat from his declassification decree issued just four days ago underscores the ongoing tensions between the White House and the Justice Department over the probe by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining whether any Trump associates may have conspired with the Kremlin to interfere in the election.

In a pair of Friday morning tweets, Trump said: “I met with the DOJ concerning the declassification of various UNREDACTED documents. They agreed to release them but stated that so doing may have a perceived negative impact on the Russia probe. Also, key Allies’ called to ask not to release. Therefore, the Inspector General has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis. I believe he will move quickly on this (and hopefully other things which he is looking at). In the end I can always declassify if it proves necessary. Speed is very important to me - and everyone!”

His reversal was preceded by a series of conversations between White House lawyer Emmet Flood and senior law enforcement and intelligence officials — chief among them deputy attorney general Rod J. Rosenstein, according to people familiar with the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Flood had been engaged in those discussions for weeks, but the pace and intensity of the talks picked up considerably after the president’s declassification announcement earlier this week, these people said.

Trump was also swayed by foreign allies, including Britain, in deciding to reverse course, these people said. It wasn’t immediately clear what other governments may have raised concerns to the White House.

On Monday, the president ordered the Justice Department to declassify significant materials from the Russia investigation, a move that threatened another showdown with federal law enforcement officials resistant to publicizing information from an ongoing probe.

The White House issued a statement Monday saying Trump was ordering the department to immediately declassify portions of the secret court order to monitor former campaign adviser Carter Page, along with all interviews conducted as officials applied for that authority.

Trump also instructed the department to publicly release the unredacted text messages of several former high-level Justice Department and FBI officials, including former FBI director James B. Comey and deputy director Andrew McCabe.

For months, conservative lawmakers have been calling on the department to release Russia-related and other materials, many of them accusing law enforcement of hiding information that might discredit the Mueller investigation. Those calls were amplified by Fox News hosts, whom the president had previously cited as influencing his decision.

The president’s declaration on Friday appears to indicate he is willing to let the Justice Department’s inspector general — which is already conducting an internal investigation of how the Russia probe has been handled — review the material rather than release it publicly.

“Thankfully it seems that saner minds have prevailed, at least for the time being,” said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.). “This underscores why the President should be relying on the expertise and advice of intelligence and law enforcement professionals, not cable news hosts.”

Apulaisoikeusministeri Rod Rosenstein ei pitänyt siitä että Trump käytti hänen kirjoittamaansa muistiota tekosyynä James Comeyn erottamiselle ja suunnitteli nauhoittavansa salaa keskustelujaan Trumpin kanssa paljastaakseen hallinnon kaoottisen tilan. Titojen sanotaan olevan eräisin FBI:n enrisen varajohtajan Anrew McCaben kirjoittamasta muistiosta.

Vaikea dilemma Trumpille sillä McCabenhan hän on leimannut valehtelijaksi ja petturiksi mutta Rod Rosensteinista taas olisi suuri hinku päästä eroon. Tietysti edellyttäen että jutun väitteet osoittautuvat todeksi.
The deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump in the White House to expose the chaos consuming the administration, and he discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr. Trump from office for being unfit.

Mr. Rosenstein made these suggestions in the spring of 2017 when Mr. Trump’s firing of James B. Comey as F.B.I. director plunged the White House into turmoil. Over the ensuing days, the president divulged classified intelligence to Russians in the Oval Office, and revelations emerged that Mr. Trump had asked Mr. Comey to pledge loyalty and end an investigation into a senior aide.

Mr. Rosenstein was just two weeks into his job. He had begun overseeing the Russia investigation and played a key role in the president’s dismissal of Mr. Comey by writing a memo critical of his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. But Mr. Rosenstein was caught off guard when Mr. Trump cited the memo in the firing, and he began telling people that he feared he had been used.

Mr. Rosenstein made the remarks about secretly recording Mr. Trump and about the 25th Amendment in meetings and conversations with other Justice Department and F.B.I. officials. Several people described the episodes in interviews over the past several months, insisting on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The people were briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by F.B.I. officials, including Andrew G. McCabe, then the acting bureau director, that documented Mr. Rosenstein’s actions and comments.

None of Mr. Rosenstein’s proposals apparently came to fruition. It is not clear how determined he was about seeing them through, though he did tell Mr. McCabe that he might be able to persuade Attorney General Jeff Sessions and John F. Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security and now the White House chief of staff, to mount an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment.

The extreme suggestions show Mr. Rosenstein’s state of mind in the disorienting days that followed Mr. Comey’s dismissal. Sitting in on Mr. Trump’s interviews with prospective F.B.I. directors and facing attacks for his own role in Mr. Comey’s firing, Mr. Rosenstein had an up-close view of the tumult. Mr. Rosenstein appeared conflicted, regretful and emotional, according to people who spoke with him at the time.

Mr. Rosenstein disputed this account. “The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect,” he said in a statement. “I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.”

A Justice Department spokeswoman also provided a statement from a person who was present when Mr. Rosenstein proposed wearing a wire. The person, who would not be named, acknowledged the remark but said Mr. Rosenstein made it sarcastically.

But according to the others who described his comments, Mr. Rosenstein not only confirmed that he was serious about the idea but also followed up by suggesting that other F.B.I. officials who were interviewing to be the bureau’s director could also secretly record Mr. Trump.

Mr. McCabe, who was later fired from the F.B.I., declined to comment. His memos have been turned over to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, in the investigation into whether Trump associates conspired with Russia’s election interference, according to a lawyer for Mr. McCabe. “A set of those memos remained at the F.B.I. at the time of his departure in late January 2018,” the lawyer, Michael R. Bromwich, said of his client. “He has no knowledge of how any member of the media obtained those memos.”

The revelations about Mr. Rosenstein come as Mr. Trump has unleashed another round of attacks in recent days on federal law enforcement, saying in an interview with the newspaper The Hill that he hopes his assaults on the F.B.I. turn out to be “one of my crowning achievements,” and that he only wished he had terminated Mr. Comey sooner.

“If I did one mistake with Comey, I should have fired him before I got here. I should have fired him the day I won the primaries,” Mr. Trump said. “I should have fired him right after the convention. Say, ‘I don’t want that guy.’ Or at least fired him the first day on the job.”

Days after ascending to the role of the nation’s No. 2 law enforcement officer, Mr. Rosenstein was thrust into a crisis.

On a brisk May day, Mr. Rosenstein and his boss, Mr. Sessions, who had recused himself from the Russia investigation because of his role as a prominent Trump campaign supporter, joined Mr. Trump in the Oval Office. The president informed them of his plan to oust Mr. Comey. To the surprise of White House aides who were trying to talk the president out of it, Mr. Rosenstein embraced the idea, even offering to write the memo about the Clinton email inquiry. He turned it in shortly after.

A day later, Mr. Trump announced the firing, and White House aides released Mr. Rosenstein’s memo, labeling it the basis for Mr. Comey’s dismissal. Democrats sharply criticized Mr. Rosenstein, accusing him of helping to create a cover story for the president to rationalize the termination.

“You wrote a memo you knew would be used to perpetuate a lie,” Senator Christopher Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, wrote on Twitter. "You own this debacle.”

The president’s reliance on his memo caught Mr. Rosenstein by surprise, and he became angry at Mr. Trump, according to people who spoke to Mr. Rosenstein at the time. He grew concerned that his reputation had suffered harm.

A determined Mr. Rosenstein began telling associates that he would ultimately be “vindicated” for his role in the matter. One week after the firing, Mr. Rosenstein met with Mr. McCabe and at least four other senior Justice Department officials, in part to explain his role in the situation.

During their discussion, Mr. Rosenstein expressed frustration at how Mr. Trump had conducted the search for a new F.B.I. director, saying the president was failing to take the candidate interviews seriously. A handful of politicians and law enforcement officials, including Mr. McCabe, were under consideration.

To Mr. Rosenstein, the hiring process was emblematic of broader dysfunction stemming from the White House. He said both the process and the administration itself were in disarray, according to two people familiar with the discussion.

Mr. Rosenstein then raised the idea of wearing a recording device, or “wire,” as he put it, to secretly tape the president when he visited the White House. One participant asked whether Mr. Rosenstein was serious, and he replied animatedly that he was.

If not him, then Mr. McCabe or other F.B.I. officials interviewing with Mr. Trump for the job could perhaps wear a wire or otherwise record the president, Mr. Rosenstein offered. White House officials never checked his phone when he arrived for meetings there, Mr. Rosenstein added, implying it would be easy to secretly record Mr. Trump.

Mr. Rosenstein mentioned the possibility of wearing a wire on at least one other occasion, the people said, though they did not provide details.

The suggestion itself was remarkable. While informants or undercover agents regularly use concealed listening devices to surreptitiously gather evidence for federal investigators, they are typically targeting drug kingpins and Mafia bosses in criminal investigations, not a president viewed as ineffectively conducting his duties.

In the end, the idea went nowhere, the officials said. But they called Mr. Rosenstein’s comments an example of how erratically he was behaving while he was taking part in the interviews for a replacement F.B.I. director, considering the appointment of a special counsel and otherwise running the day-to-day operations of the more than 100,000 people at the Justice Department.

At least two meetings took place on May 16 involving both Mr. McCabe and Mr. Rosenstein, the people familiar with the events of the day said. Mr. Rosenstein brought up the 25th Amendment during the first meeting of Justice Department officials, they said. A memo about the second meeting written by one participant, Lisa Page, a lawyer who worked for Mr. McCabe at the time, did not mention the topic.
Mr. Rosenstein’s suggestion about the 25th Amendment was similarly a sensitive topic. The amendment allows for the vice president and a majority of cabinet officials to declare the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

Merely conducting a straw poll, even if Mr. Kelly and Mr. Sessions were on board, would be risky if another administration official were to tell the president, who could fire everyone involved to end the effort.
Mr. McCabe told other F.B.I. officials of his conversation with Mr. Rosenstein. None of the people interviewed said that they knew of him ever consulting Mr. Kelly or Mr. Sessions.

The episode is the first known instance of a named senior administration official weighing the 25th Amendment. Unidentified others have been said to discuss it, including an unnamed senior administration official who wrote an Op-Ed for The New York Times. That person’s identity is unknown to journalists in the Times news department.

Some of the details in Mr. McCabe’s memos suggested that Mr. Rosenstein had regrets about the firing of Mr. Comey. During a May 12 meeting with Mr. McCabe, Mr. Rosenstein was upset and emotional, Mr. McCabe wrote, and said that he wished Mr. Comey were still at the F.B.I. so he could bounce ideas off him.

Mr. Rosenstein also asked F.B.I. officials on May 14, five days after Mr. Comey’s firing, about calling him for advice about a special counsel. The officials responded that such a call was a bad idea because Mr. Comey was no longer in the government. And they were surprised, believing that the idea contradicted Mr. Rosenstein’s stated reason for backing Mr. Comey’s dismissal — that he had shown bad judgment in the Clinton email inquiry.

Mr. Rosenstein, 53, is a lifelong public servant. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School, he clerked for a federal judge before joining the Justice Department in 1990 and was appointed United States attorney for Maryland.

Mr. Rosenstein also considered appointing as special counsel James M. Cole, himself a former deputy attorney general, three of the people said. Mr. Cole would have made an even richer target for Mr. Trump’s ire than has Mr. Mueller, a lifelong Republican: Mr. Cole served four years as the No. 2 in the Justice Department during the Obama administration and worked as a private lawyer representing one of Mrs. Clinton’s longtime confidants, Sidney Blumenthal.

Mr. Cole and Mr. Rosenstein have known each other for years. Mr. Cole, who declined to comment, was Mr. Rosenstein’s supervisor early in his Justice Department career when he was prosecuting public corruption cases.

Mr. Trump and his allies have repeatedly attacked Mr. Rosenstein and have also targeted Mr. McCabe, who was fired in March for failing to be forthcoming when he was interviewed in an inspector general investigation around the time of Mr. Comey’s dismissal. The inspector general later referred the matter to federal prosecutors in Washington.

The president’s allies have seized on Mr. McCabe’s lack of candor to paint a damning picture of the F.B.I. under Mr. Comey and assert that the Russia investigation is tainted.

The Justice Department denied a request in late July from Mr. Trump’s congressional allies to release Mr. McCabe’s memos, citing a continuing investigation that the lawmakers believed to be Mr. Mueller’s. Mr. Rosenstein not only supervises that investigation but is also considered by the president’s lawyers as a witness for their defense because he sought the dismissal of Mr. Comey, which is being investigated as possible obstruction of justice.

Aika rohkea veto Trumpilta ottaa yhteyttä lehteen, joka agressiivisesti on Trumpin vastustaja. Ja mitä se kertoo New York Timesista, jos juttu niellään koukkuineen ja kohoineen. Ja sitäpaitsi Trumpilla ei liene pääsyä Muellerin hallussa oleviin McGaben muistioihin, koska edes kongressin edustajat eivät saa niitä nähtäväkseen, kuten Foxin uutisessa mainittiin.

Eli ei ihan heti vaikuta Valkoisen Talon näpertelyltä.
 
The Hillissä mielipidekirjoitus, Mark Penn. Aika tulikivenkatkuinen demareita kohtaan ja mm. Rosenstein vedetään kölin ali ja pohditaan hänen erottamistaan. Ehdottaa uuden erikoissyyttäjän nimittämistä, varsinkin jos demarit voittaa välivaaleissa.

People bristle when I sometimes adopt and use that term: “deep state.” But as an outside observer, watching the unmasking of the actions of one official after another at the FBI, CIA and DOJ, I have come to accept that an unelected group of well-educated, experienced individuals running these departments became inebriated with their own power during the last election campaign and apparently came to believe they were on a mission to stop, defeat or remove President Trump and his associates for crimes they would find or, if necessary, manufacture.

...

All Trump can do is get out all the documents and call upon the inspector general to fully investigate these reports.
After the midterms, though, he could instruct the attorney general to appoint — or, perhaps, do so directly himself — a second special prosecutor to investigate the actions of the FBI, CIA and DOJ in the Clinton and Trump investigations.

Over 70 percent of Americans in the Harvard/CAPS poll believe such a counsel should be appointed now. If Democrats take over Congress, there will be no way without that appointment to continue investigations that have turned up real malfeasance of the sort by these officials. Democrats have other plans for their investigative powers, if they get them.

....

Whatever you want to call these well-heeled members of the intelligence community and Justice Department, many of whom now have book and speaking contracts, it is clear they all engaged in a conspiracy to bring down this administration on the basis of unverified information, and to turn the most basic acts of presidential power, like the firing of Comey, into obstruction of justice.

No niin heitänpä tälle lirpakkeelle "valistuneen arvion" joka tullut esiin USA:n poliittisesta sisäpiiristä ja joka liittyy entiseseen presidenttiin Obamaan.

Olette varmaan lukeneet ja nähneet mediassa miten Obama on ollut esillä tukemassa demokraattien välivaalityötä hyvinkin aktiivisesti. Tosiasia on kuitenkin se että Obaman pyrkimys ei ole pelkästään tukea demokraatteja vaan hän tekee jo nyt vaalityötä tullakseen valituksi jälleen kerran USA:n presidentiksi....

Obama on siis yrittämässä/tekemässä Venäjän malliin "Putinit"...
