This is a peer review. It has brevity.

On balance, when considering the prosecutions, indictments, guilty pleas and continuing Grand Jury proceedings; this peer review coming from those that contributed to and wrote the Special Council's report; carries a great deal of weight.

The AG doesn't appreciate the American people and their demand for perfection when it comes to enforcing the law. He seems to think he can disregard the very people that wrote the Special Council report and their alarm at his dismissal of their work without further proceedings coming from it.

Considering the outcry by professionals that have served this country with expertise for many years, it is the obligation now of Congress to review the Special Council's report and it's supporting documents without redactions or exception.

AG Barr should be grateful these attorneys have brought their review of his work to a newspaper. I can think of many other venues, including professional ethics panels, where they could have turned to bring more weight to their work.

For the length of time this report was being accumulated, the American people have witnessed a president having continual hissy fits over the legal dilemma he faces with his associates going to prison. There has been extremely alarming behavior and policy adopted by this president that rises to the level of illegal and threatening to the USA security.

For god sake, doesn't Barr have any worry about the national security of his country? He sure doesn't seem to have concern for his peers such as James Comey. The mistreatment of the former director cannot be understated. Trump naively believed he could fire an FBI Director and have an existing investigation into election meddling simply go away. Then to allow Russian hierarchy to come to Oval Office within hours of firing the director over Twitter is a demonstration of Trump's true loyalties.

I believe Barr's view of the world and his loyalty to Trump and his family is very misguided. It requires further action by Congress to bring Former Director Mueller and his team to testimony to bring light to the reality of the report they filed.

Washington — Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators (click here) have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.

At stake in the dispute — the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel’s office — is who shapes the public’s initial understanding of one of the most consequential government investigations in American history. Some members of Mr. Mueller’s team are concerned that, because Mr. Barr created the first narrative of the special counsel’s findings, Americans’ views will have hardened before the investigation’s conclusions become public....

Today is a great day. 70 years of an alliance that shares history and peace.

The NATO alliance has spanned more than three generations. That is incredible. But, NATO is more than an alliance, it is an economy and free and open tourism. That is a rare relationship and it was bred by shared values and the profound belief in democracy.

Students on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are renewing the history, beliefs and great friendship of the NATO members on their 70th anniversary. An alliance can only be as strong as it's members and NATO has the strongest countries in the world forever bonded in purpose.

I thank NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg for his incredible visit to the USA and making a speech to a joint session of the USA Congress.

The article below was nearly an impossibility when NATO first wrote it's charter. The story is told by "RadioFreeEurope." Radio Free Europe was a genius idea to give the people behind the "Iron Curtain" words of a different reality. It is appropriate they are heralding the newest member of NATO, Georgia.

Tbilisi  -- During a visit to Georgia, (click here) NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has again said that the South Caucasus country will eventually join the Western military alliance, despite the Kremlin's fierce opposition.

Stoltenberg was in Tbilisi on March 25 to hold meetings with Georgian officials and attend joint NATO-Georgia military exercises.

Speaking alongside Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze, he said that the 29 NATO member states had "clearly stated that Georgia will become a member of NATO."

"We will continue working together to prepare for Georgia's NATO membership," Stoltenberg said, adding that no country has the right to influence NATO's open-door policy.

"We are not accepting that Russia or any other power can decide what members can do," he said.

Bakhtadze said that "NATO membership is the choice of the Georgian people."

At a 2008 summit in Bucharest, NATO agreed that Georgia will eventually become a member, but no firm date has been set, although the membership perspective for the country has been reconfirmed at every summit ever since....
