  washington — president trump asked the f.b.i.

  director, james b. comey, to shut down the federal investigation into mr. trump’s former national security adviser, michael t. flynn, in an oval office meeting in february, according to a memo mr. comey wrote shortly after the meeting.. “i hope you can let this go,” the president told mr. comey, according to the memo.. the existence of mr. trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the justice department and f.b.i.

  investigation into links between mr. trump’s associates and russia.. mr. comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after mr. flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo.

  Such BS. As it has been for 30 years. Right Wingnuts hatred of the Clintons, simply because he won the election. It was the birth of right wing media like Rush and FOX. Just to oppose Clinton. It's amazing that losers are still trying to deflect GOP nonsense by pushing it off on the Clintons. You should all be embarrassed.

  "Ann Coulter decided not to walk into a situation where the police were told, TOLD to stay way and not get involved."

  So let me guess, you got your information from Alex Jones??

  What was it like being a JW in the 1960's and 1970's

  this is obviously a question for the older generation.

  i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.

  was the society as strict as it is today?.

  Geezus Simon we may as well debate Protestants and Catholics in Elizabethan England.
  

  I have no dog in this fight. I think both sides of this bs are extremist idiots. But don't try to say that there is little neo Nazi violence, and then in the same post say they murdered literally thousands just so you can add Democrats to the end of the sentence. Your disingenuousness is showing.

  "You might not like to admit it, but there is little neo-nazi violence in reality (in the US, of course there has been actual fascism elsewhere)."

  They have a long history of extreme violence in this country.

  There were indeed white nationalist groups at the April 15th tax march in Berkeley. Extremist groups from right and left love Berkeley. The AntiFa chick was punched in the face by one.

  As for Free Speech, I think something between the USA and Canada is probably the most reasonable. That's my personal opinion. I see it as a matter of how far can you go in exercising your rights before you begin to infringe on another's. Or become dangerous. Some of you that are so outraged about this issue, how would you react to a group of Muslims having a parade on Main St. and waving banners espousing Muslim pride, and talking hatefully about the infidels? How about Black Lives Matter?

  Ann Coulter is hardly having her free speech infringed upon because she couldn't take the stage in Berkeley. Not to mention they reconsidered and decided to go ahead with her appearance, but she refused. Perfect opportunity for her to make the rounds with this phony outrage on the right.

  The very name AntiFa makes it clear it is a reaction to Fascism so quite obviously the Fascism came first.

  Simon, please, you know that the parties did a complete reversal of place over the last 100 years. That was more about the South than the party. Republicans have been purposely cultivating the South and that particular hatred since Nixon. The Southern Strategy.

  So at what point is it free speech vs fake bs? I mean just how much are we supposed to legitimize nonsense? Where is the line drawn? So every ridiculous opportunist gets to be on the same stage as serious speakers? Isn't that just exactly a big part of our problem right now? Fake news given the same consideration as actual facts??

  Kpop I see you are getting a lot of your information from The Blaze and Glenn Beck.

  The entire country was having well publicized marches to demand Trump release his taxes. The white nationalist groups that showed up in Berkeley were there because they knew they would find a fight.

  The Trump Connection

  i'm a little dumb struck to see that donald trump's first cross word against russia are in support of the jws.. http://fox-news24.com/trump-warns-russia-over-jehovahs-witnesses-ban-and-urges-members-to-seek-asylum-in-the-us/.

  is this because trump genuinely values freedom of religion?

  or is it because his son in law jared kushner has financial dealings with the jws?

  I'm not sure what all the kerfuffle here is? There are two simple facts in this story though. Kushner and his partners have purchased properties from the JWs. The State Department did issue a statement denouncing the Russian JW ban.
