President Trump

[Guisslapp]

"the source" has already told CNN what Comey will say. A news source as reputable as CNN would never report undocumented facts ahead of time would they?

We will see how good their sources are soon enough.

Looks like it is about to get real.

Is it though? Hopefully he recorded his conversations.

Who? Trump? He vaguely threatened that he may have.

Doesn't matter. Non-circulated memos from someone that was fired and has a personal axe to grind are probably not the most reliable evidence to base a case upon. Supposedly these memos were based on conversations that were had many months ago and were of little concern UNTIL he got his panties in a bunch from being fired. His ego is as big as Trump's.

Dawgy, I guess you didn't read in the news a few weeks ago that Comey wrote the memo's almost immediately after he had his conversations with Trump. As you probably know, the Courts will accept as evidence such memo's from FBI agents.

...as reported from an anonymous source.

Salty are you concerned about the destruction of our planet if Trump pulls us out of the Paris agreement? What will we do?

Yep, and he did not share this information with anybody, meaning he did not think anything unlawful was being done. To suddenly freak out about something that happened 6 months ago after being fired smacks of revenge.

Of course, he could just say he has PTSD from the Obama years where the laws they decided to enforce changed daily (usually in the favor of lawlessness).

Except the people he showed the memo to, right?

Reading the tea leaves, he wanted to keep that info away from the folks doing the counterintelligence investigation so as not to influence them.

Also, reading the tea leaves, Comey appears to have initially believed that Trump didn't understand what was appropriate for interfacing with the FBI, but hoped he could steer him in the right direction - kind of an educational opportunity.

If that is so, it is not hard to see how he would view his firing and other public comments Trump made after the firing in a new light - thus, further informing the previous comments and behavior he witnessed.

You guys are really grasping at straws when you say that the fact he didn't blow the whole thing up the first time Trump misstepped with him discredits him. No one, but the FoxNews faithful, is going to see it that way.

It will just make it harder. Fortunately, the majority of Americans support the Paris Climate Agreement and the utility industry also understands the threat from CO2 pollution. Notice that Exxon will have to start reporting its impact on climate change because one of its largest shareholders, Black Rock, wanted it. Just another reason, if Trump quits the Paris agreement, why is re-election will be more difficult for him.

I like our ability to compete under the Paris agreement. It sure would be nice to have a seat at that table to make sure that the "rules" are not written in a way that disadvantage when we inevitably get on board (post Trump).

Good grief man! The majority of Americans don't believe the global warming...climate change BS. Him getting us out of this idiotic deal is part of the reason he was elected.

If he does not get us out, he will lose "big league" support.

ahhhh, a one world government. That's what we should all strive for.

Hardly. But when you are addressing a global issue, you should work together with other partners. What is silly is for there not to be an agreement and then the developed countries make GHG reductions while the developing countries more than make up for reductions.

It is a horrible deal for us. We are taking care of our business here. China is part of the deal and they aren't doing anything at all for another 15 years.

No, a majority of Americans know that climate change caused by CO2 pollution is real and is a threat to our well-being. I suggest that many of those who voted for Trump didn't vote for him because of his views on climate change but in spite of it.
