Re: NK.
I don't understand why, on the very threshold of an unprecedented peace deal, the US didn't postpone it's military exercises with SK when North and South were set to engage in peace talks or why Bolton would evoke Libya (WTF?) from under his mustache.
Are the deep state Neocon bastards trying to scuttle the deal?
When I see CNN foaming at the mouth over it, appearing to hope that it won't happen, you know there's a problem.
They don't want to see Trump secure this victory for PEACE.
Senate Intelligence Committee leaders on Wednesday backed the 2017 intelligence community report that formally accused Russia of trying to interfere in the U.S. presidential election to boost then-candidate Donald Trump.
Their statements followed a final closed-door interview on the matter with top Obama administration officials. The committee, led by Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., spoke Wednesday with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan and former National Security Agenda Director Michael Rogers (who retired earlier this year).
DOCUMENTS SUGGEST POSSIBLE COORDINATION BETWEEN CIA, FBI, OBAMA WH AND DEM OFFICIALS EARLY IN TRUMP-RUSSIA PROBE: INVESTIGATORS
Former FBI Director James Comey was invited but did not show up -- skipping the closed-door session due to a “previously scheduled engagement,” his attorney said. Comey, who was fired last May, has been on a media blitz in recent weeks promoting his memoir, “A Higher Loyalty,” in which he is highly critical of now-President Trump.
Despite Comey’s absence, the committee leaders announced afterward they were able to complete the review of the intelligence community’s Russia assessment.

Only people upset are either benefitting from flow of trillions or suffering most extreme case of brainwashing and misinformation that they refuse reality and embrace fantasy as constructed for them.
Unfortunately at the moment that's a majority.

My thoughts exactly Ank, it makes no sense. At the very least Bolton evoking Libya was really bad judgement. It certainly doesn't help matters that the MSM keeps planting the seed of doubt that Trumps word can be trusted and seemingly trying to sabotage the whole deal. Let's just hope it's more "fake" news as Q suggested and the deal with NK will still be achieved.

Alas my friend it is true at the moment. I just wish people would in fact look at the DOCS not form an opinion based on anything but the actual documentation. DJT's f first EO, pow, he just took power away from the government and gave it to the people. Crickets.
The last ten years the battle cry is "I have opinion therefor I am..." Can't be bothered to read, just tell me what it is so I can form an "opinion therefor I am..."

WASHINGTON — Within hours of opening an investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia in the summer of 2016, the F.B.I. dispatched a pair of agents to London on a mission so secretive that all but a handful of officials were kept in the dark.
Their assignment, which has not been previously reported, was to meet the Australian ambassador, who had evidence that one of Donald J. Trump’s advisers knew in advance about Russian election meddling. After tense deliberations between Washington and Canberra, top Australian officials broke with diplomatic protocol and allowed the ambassador, Alexander Downer, to sit for an F.B.I. interview to describe his meeting with the campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos.
The agents summarized their highly unusual interview and sent word to Washington on Aug. 2, 2016, two days after the investigation was opened. Their report helped provide the foundation for a case that, a year ago Thursday, became the special counsel investigation. But at the time, a small group of F.B.I. officials knew it by its code name: Crossfire Hurricane.
