Imagining ‘A World Without Nuclear Weapons’

Trump Should Find A Democrat To Replace Comey-- If Diogenes Can Be Found These Days
One thing we now know about President Trump: he doesn’t appreciate irony. Tomorrow, May 10, marks the 93rd anniversary of J. Edgar Hoover taking over as acting director of the FBI. Ironically, James Comey kept a copy of Hoover’s wiretap request of Martin Luther King Jr. as a reminder of past bureau missteps.
The Spotlight Shifts To The DOJ Inspector General
As Daphna Renan and David Pozen note, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s memorandum to Attorney General Sessions on Comey’s action last summer, which was the ostensible basis for firing FBI Director James Comey, circumvented the ongoing investigation into Comey’s actions by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz. That investigation, and Horowitz himself, are now about to assume center stage in the Comey firing drama.
Two Reflections On The Comey Statement
Though I agree with much of what Ben says about James Comey’s statement, I find myself in greater agreement with David French’s account.

James Comey is a legend in his own mind. He expressed part of the legend to Donald Trump when, according to one his memos, he told the president on January 27, 2017: He could count on me to always tell him the truth. I said I don’t do sneaky things, I don’t leak, I don’t do weasel moves.
Report: FBI Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Working For The Russians
The New York Times reports that “in the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.” The Times cites “former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.” They say the FBI investigation ended when Robert Mueller was appointed. If this specific charge remained under investigation, Mueller did the investigating.
