Whether you're a schoolboy, a teacher, a doctor, or even a half-decent forex trader, you should keep notes.

But when you're head of FBI, you've got to give explanations to the congress? What I am missing?

That is what many people are going for because they don't like Trump and it became a personality like/aversion issue to them. But all these people failed to see is while in the process of crushing Trump, they are essentially not only crushing him personally, but also crushing the very institution of President of the United States. Trump is currently the embodiment of the President of the United States upon the basis of the choice of the people through the process of democracy which (the process and institution) is not disputed by these people. They may dislike the choice make by their other citizens of their country, but that does not give them the right to "topple" the elected candidate OUTSIDE the Democratic process. If ever they succeeded in doing so, in future, their choice liked and beloved candidate will also be subjected to such by the non-supporters on the other side. Might as well throw away the democratic election process since nobody buy it if the candidate elected is not their choice and vote (the reason UK is fervently against holding another referendum on Brexit. One referendum is final and HAS to be respected. If you hold another referendum, then why not hold the third one, and the fourth one till you get the result you desired.).

The only thing I have to say to "then why not hold the third one, and the fourth one till you get the result you desired.)" is... isn't that how we learn to trade, changes are made, and mistakes can be amended? By not giving up?

However, time is a factor and I entirely agree with the rest of the post.

Respect for the Office of POTUS is dependent on the rigour with which the personal performance and integrity of the incumbent upholds the standards expected within the Constitution for occupation of that Office.
to think otherwise is to allow an incumbent to bring the Office into disrepute.

IMHO, to argue that somehow because a person who becomes POTUS through due democratic process, is excused from maintaining those standards of integrity and behaviour expected of the Office, misunderstands the principle on which the authority of the Office is mandated by the people.

IMHO ..Liking or not liking an incumbent is irrelevant to the application of above principles.

Surely respecting the Office and respecting the person who holds that office are entirely different things. While the Person might well fall short of the requirements of the post (Nixon??????) that does not change the regard in which the office itself should be held?

It's really nice to mention constitution & honesty & truth & law & rules etc..but is that how it works in politics nowadays? Does the majority of politicians & those in congress truly care about the country & it's future? Or do they care about themselves first? Naivity can be very dangerous thing..

All this anti Trump "news" smells like smokes & mirrors just to keep the status quo & the hell with the future..

Doesn't seem to me the majority cares about the truth & what's better for the future..but maybe I am wrong.. Interesting times for sure.

Trump has nothing to fear if he is innocent of any misdemeanor.

The G-Men will root out the truth.

That is why I like Trump. He is honest with himself (even though like many of you I don't agree with some of his view and agenda, but I just put it down as a difference of opinion and value. I am in no position to judge that another is wrong and I must be surely right). A man has to do what a man has to do. If he need to piss, fark the wind. It is better to have a wet pant than to suffer constipation of the bladder

Every person elected to office is accountable to the people who voted them in. If he perform below the people's expectation of him, he will be removed at the next election. That is the proper way to remove an office holder via the same electoral process unless it is so urgent that he has to be impeached immediately to safeguard the national interest.

Like I said previously, one man's poison is another man's meat. What is improper or no integrity may be viewed otherwise by others who have different perspective and standard and experience and (insider) info. The North Korean / Syrian probably would wish Trump to be their leader instead.

To use one's personal judgement (which is by default bias) as the basis to decide to remove an office holder elected via the democratic process is destroying the process. Why then not go back to China's system of leadership being selected rather than elected. Perhaps, that will bring more smile to many anti-Trump US citizen? Maybe.

Not sure what you are saying here? Are you saying it is OK to sack the director of the FBI and call him a "nutjob"?

Very well said IMO.
However, some would clearly prefer he simply become nothing more than another political tool for the institution itself.

That when he interviewed Hilary Clinton who WAS under INVESTIGATION he took NO NOTES nor recorded the questioning. Now you can see quite clearly that you are missing a lot.

Trump is going into the job of POTUS as a businessman... not a politician... so he doesn't give a damn about politically correct or nice...

Hillary , the Democrats and liberals who don't like him is going to give him a hard time..so that Trump doesn't accomplish much...

It's really a shame..

It may be another few more rounds before Trump can KO them..and do his job..

That's what America needs...as they are really sick of politicians like Hillary and Obama..

After watching the video of the testimony, my opinion of Comey is that he's very smart, very honest and is very attentive of detail.

My take.

Trump innocent, some members of the Republican party are very very likely guilty.

Sounds like Russia tech was used to infiltrate & disrupt activities of pro-Democratic businesses and not-for profit institutions, so as to lessen the power the Democratic Campaign.

All in all, the hearing was useless, half of the questions were unanswerable in the public eye. It's just good politics.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. The Republican party is very very guilty of deliberately manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts in order to hijack the election. Did you really think that it was pure chance that the party with the smaller popular vote ended up winning?

Already happened in the past...

You can reason in term of population (and I completely understand your point), but when you're reasoning in term of counties, D.Trump is ahead by far...

If the goal were to win the popular vote, the strategy would be much different, you just have to focus your campain on California, Florida, New York.
