Give James Comey a platform in the US House. He wants to be heard.

Speaker Pelosi should have a conversation with James Comey as two Americans to determine the best formate for his grievance. He is not going to stop. I would also be very vigilant of his safety. He needs his own bodyguards.

There is a New York Times Op-Ed.

There is something very wrong, otherwise, he wouldn't be so determined to bring forth his understanding of events regarding Trump. He is worried for the country and we know he was wrongfully fired from his position as Director.

People have been asking me hard questions. (click here) What happened to the leaders in the Trump administration, especially the attorney general, Bill Barr, who I have said was due the benefit of the doubt?

How could Mr. Barr, a bright and accomplished lawyer, start channeling the president in using words like “no collusion” and F.B.I. “spying”? And downplaying acts of obstruction of justice as products of the president’s being “frustrated and angry,” something he would never say to justify the thousands of crimes prosecuted every day that are the product of frustration and anger?

How could he write and say things about the report by Robert Mueller, the special counsel, that were apparently so misleading that they prompted written protest from the special counsel himself?

How could Mr. Barr go before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and downplay President Trump’s attempt to fire Mr. Mueller before he completed his work?...

I have witnessed the abuse that is Donald Trump. At one time Vice President Pence who is President of the US Senate, was leading Republicans. He identified Donald Trump as unqualified to lead and he is right. But, after Trump realized Pence was leading on his own there was a change in Pence's demeanor, speech and behavior. No one knows what was said between them, except perhaps some staff within hearing distance, but, it was obvious Pence changed. I don't know why Pence lost his backbone. He was elected and Trump can't fire him. He might not choose him as a running mate for 2020, but, is that worth selling your soul? 

There are issues with people working with Trump. There seems to be a capitulation of self-will. It is very troubling. That is abuse, plain and simple. As a matter of fact, verbal abuse is among the worst forms of abuse.
