"In Searing Interview, James Comey Unleashes Against ‘Morally Unfit’ Trump" + MY COMMENT

MY COMMENT: James Comey is an honorable man. I am prepared to say that whether he is investigating Trump or in his investigation of the Hillary Clinton's email server. She deserved the verbal rebuke she got from Comey something it took me a long time to admit. She was not a newcomer to politics and should have known if not through anything else her husband when she said there was a right wing conspiracy to take him down. I believed it then and I believe now that is true. She should have obeyed the instruction on her email to not have a private server.  Ignoring the warning, she ruined her candidacy and led those of us who supported her to a near nervous breakdown when we saw the most disgusting candidate Trump walk into the oval office the winner of the 2016 presidential election. 

If Comey erred -- and I am not sure that he did -- it was tying her to the sleaze Anthony Weiner and his computer where her secretary, Weiner's wife, received emails from her.  I did think Comey coming out to announce that to the American public so soon before the election was a poor choice of timing. He did it for the reasons he has stated and said he would do it again. He may have made that mistake but he is not one thing this president so sadly in triplicate is -- a liar. James Comey tells the truth and he is spot on about the corrupt sickening Trump.

Thank you, Mr. Comey, for your attempt at spotless leadership and for loving the civil liberties that set this nation apart from tin pot dictatorships all over the world. I am hoping that Senior United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York, Kimba Wood, will find for the state prosecution and allow Trump's attorney Cohen's papers confiscated in well orchestrated and court warrant sanctioned raids of Cohen's domains to be read.  Attorney client privilege does not -- I repeat does not -- apply to crimes that may have been committed.  Allegedly Cohen with the probable acquiescence of Trump has committed a boatload. The people should have the right to have that story revealed so that we can get finally get to the bottom of the sewer that is Trump!

The Darkest Hour -- A Recommended Film


Gary Oldman plays Winston Churchill so well that I forgot about the actor and thought I was watching Churchill himself resurrected from the dead. This film is that good.

I have not finished it yet but the 3/4 I did see concentrated on the miserable circumstances of the battle of Dunkirk in 1940 and Churchill's heart wrenching decision whether to seek a diplomatic solution with a psychologically sick unreliable (to say the least) Hitler or press on refusing to surrender. The losses of the Brits and French at Dunkirk were many and the German military the most superior on earth in1940. Brits were stuck in this French town and surrounded by superior German forces in land, sea and air honed through their many victories in Europe. One by one western Europe was falling as Belgium fell, eastern Europe was in Nazi hands and Nazi victory seemed inevitable. Nothing less than Western civilization was at stake. Churchill desperately needed American strength but Roosevelt while empathetic to their plight in 1940 could do nothing as there was no Congressional support nor popular appetite to get stuck in another war in Europe.

From the history I have read the evacuation by boat of the 198,000 British and 140,000 French and Belgian troops was miraculous. They were saved from an untenable situation and total decimation of their army at Dunkirk. They were miraculously helped by the Halt Order of Hitler the rationale of that Order still debated today. It was a spiritual victory for the Allies and set the table for Allied victory with American much needed help finally culminating in the 1944 D-Day Allied invasion by sea of Europe.

The film shows perfectly the resolve by Churchill to never surrender, his strong and quirky personality with a monumental task laid in his hands and no prediction of victory. He was a force of nature and an example of what great leadership truly is.

If one is interested in WWII history shaping our own history to present day this film is highly recommended.
