Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting. “I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia.

red sox 777 05/19/17 5:28:20 PM #349:	Yes, the Democrats should be more skillful at politics if they want to be effective. And IMO that includes playing hardball, because pliticians are elected to fight for their constituents, and if they aren't doing that, it's not terribly surprising if the constituents lose interest after a while. Whether the Dems (or GOP) being effective is a good thing depends on whether you like their goals. For me personally, from what I can ascertain, I like Bernie's goals, dislike Hillary's and her branch of the Democratic Party, and don't feel the Republicans really have all that much in goals beyond pure power. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:879426411] in Politics C...
