Well the supreme Court is already dangerously close to seeming partisan...if public perception is such that there is no confidence, where do you go?

The constitution would take some effort though.

I hope.

This is is like a hurricane. Some folks will rebuild, some will get out of the area forever and not look back, but it never goes back to normal. Recovery is relative. Pandora box is open. Life changes fundamentally after it gets closed.

That said, have a happy thanksgiving.
Take the time to enjoy and appreciate the people you care about and those who care about you.

Indeed you as well.

@Comey: Happy Thanksgiving. Got a subpoena from House Republicans. I’m still happy to sit in the light and answer all questions. But I will resist a “closed door” thing because I’ve seen enough of their selective leaking and distortion. Let’s have a hearing and invite everyone to see.

UK spy chiefs in fight to stop Trump exposing their sources
22 November 2018 — 10:50am
Washington: MI6 chiefs are secretly battling Donald Trump to stop him publishing classified information linked to the Russian election meddling investigation.

The UK is warning he will undermine intelligence gathering if he releases pages of an FBI application to wiretap one of his former campaign advisers.

However, the US President's allies are fighting back, demanding transparency and asking why Britain would oppose the move unless it has something to hide.

It puts the spotlight on whether the UK played a role in an FBI inquiry launched before the 2016 presidential election into Trump campaign ties to the Kremlin.

The London Telegraph talked to more than a dozen UK and US officials, including in US intelligence, who have revealed details about the row.

British spy chiefs have "genuine concern" about sources being exposed if classified parts of the wiretap request are made public, according to figures familiar with the discussions.

"It boils down to the exposure of people," said one US intelligence official, adding: "We don't want to reveal sources and methods."

Another said Britain feared it would set a dangerous "precedent" and make people less likely to share information, knowing one day it could become public.

The current row is deemed so politically sensitive that staff at the British embassy in Washington DC have been barred from discussing it with journalists.

Theresa May, who has a lukewarm relationship with Trump, has been kept at arms-length and is understood to have not raised the issue directly with him.

The row concerns an FBI request to wiretap Carter Page, a former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, which was made in October 2016 - the month before the US election. The FBI said it had suspicions Page was being targeted for recruitment by the Russian government and cited classified intelligence to make its case.


It was granted approval for 90 days of surveillance by a secret court established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It was renewed a number of times.

Trump wants to declassify 21 pages from one request. He announced the move in September, then backtracked, then this month was "very seriously" considering it. Britain and Australia are understood to oppose the move.

Numerous spokesman for UK and US government bodies declined to comment.

Page has denied being a foreign agent for Russia.

CIA Has Recording of Saudi Crown Prince Ordering Khashoggi Silenced, Turkish Media Reports
Prominent Turkish columnist says CIA director Gina Haspel had 'signaled' the existence of the recording in a visit to Ankara

The CIA has a recording of a phone call in which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman gave instructions to "silence Jamal Kashoggi as soon as possible," Turkish news website Hurriyet Daily News said on Thursday.

It cited a prominent Turkish columnist as saying CIA director Gina Haspel had "signaled" the existence of the recording during a visit to Ankara last month.


A Turkish official contacted by Reuters said he had no information about such a recording. "There is talk of another recording," Hurriyet newspaper journalist Abdulkadir Selvi wrote in a column, saying the purported call took place between Prince Mohammed and his brother, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington.

"It is being said that CIA chief Gina Haspel indicated this during her visit to Turkey," he wrote, adding that they had discussed Khashoggi, a critic of the kingdom's de facto ruler.

"It is being said the crown prince gave orders to 'silence Jamal Khashoggi as soon as possible'," in a call which was monitored by the U.S. agency, he said.


A day earlier, Turkish news site Haberturk released what it said was quotes from a tape of the Saudi dissident journalist's last moments.

Also Thursday, Federica Mogherini, the European Union's foreign affairs chief, said after talks with Turkey's foreign minister that a transparent and credible investigation into the killing of Khashoggi has not yet been completed.

Khashoggi, a critic of the kingdom's de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. Riyadh has said it was seeking the death penalty for five suspects in the case.

Speaking at a joint news conference with EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara, Mogherini said she was completely against any application of the death penalty.
