Russia’s metallurgical industry is facing its worst crisis since the 1990s. Due to plummeting demand, high interest rates, and collapsing output, steel plants are cutting staff and considering 4-day workweeks. Sanctions have wiped out a third of exports, and production is down over 10% year-on-year.

The Road to Nowhere.

The Conservative Party conference felt less like a come back and more like a wake.

Is this the final act in the party's 200 year story?

'Responding to a question about Gabbard’s investigation, Trump made a startling claim: “It’s incredible what we’re finding:bsolute proof of guilt.” He went on:“Clapper and Comey and that whole group of criminals. . . They’re sick people, and they’re criminals, and they should be taken care of.” '

Trump’s Own Words Have Discredited the Case Against Comey

The evidence that the president directed a vindictive prosecution is overwhelming.

You don't have to like people.
You have to make stark rational choices.
Bolton versus Trump is easy.
Because Trump is really dangerous and really strange.
And an economic nutjob.

Letitia James

Probable cause????
But:
'DOJ rules' = good faith = beyond reasonable doubt?

Is this clear???

These cases are political?
They are apparently vindictive?
Discovery will be a nightmare?

What do Comey & James have in common?
