Volgens mij heb ik hier toch echt al meerdere analyses over langs zien komen dat Nunes hier toch echt zijn boekje te buiten is gegaan.
Er zijn zelf insiders die beweren dat er beperkte informatie aan Nunes is gegeven juist om te testen of hij dit inderdaad aan de president zou gaan vertellen. Operatie geslaagd zou ik zeggen.
Ik bedoel, zelfs jij moet toch begrijpen dat als je onderzoek doet naar iemand, je niet diezelfde informatie deelt met diegene waarna je onderzoek doet?

bronquote:The honeymoon's over for Trump and Putin
Washington and Moscow are trading sharp words over Russia's weekend political crackdown, civilian deaths in Iraq and the revival of U.S. sanctions touching Russian interests.
After months of overtures from President Donald Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Trump administration is trading harsh diplomatic words with Moscow, further dimming the prospects for a strategic alliance between the two countries.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer opened his Monday briefing by reading a statement saying the U.S. “strongly condemns” the detention of hundreds, including leading Putin critic Alexei Navalny, following a weekend crackdown on peaceful anti-corruption protests across Russia.
The statement featured the toughest language Trump’s White House has directed at Putin’s government, surprising some Russia hawks unsure whether Trump—who has repeatedly avoided criticizing Putin—would allow the government to rebuke Moscow’s actions. As a candidate, Trump frequently promised to seek friendly relations with Moscow, but that talk has cooled in recent weeks amid intense scrutiny of his campaign’s ties to Russia.
Experts say Putin is highly sensitive to American criticism of his internal political actions, and the Russian leader could react angrily to the condemnation. But it remains unclear whether the statement reflects carefully considered U.S. policy. The top Russia jobs at the State Department and Pentagon remain unfilled. A White House official said the incoming senior national security council director for Russia, Brookings Institution scholar Fiona Hill, has not yet started her job.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin has in recent weeks steadily sharpened its rhetoric about the Trump administration, which has recently taken steps perceived in Moscow as adverse to Russian interests.
On Saturday, Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman blasted new Trump administration sanctions against companies doing business with Syria, Iran and North Korea, whose targets included eight Russian companies. In a statement posted on Facebook, spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said her government is “bewildered and concerned” by the U.S. move.
Zakharova said the U.S. action “undermines the prospects of setting up comprehensive multilateral cooperation” to jointly fight terrorists. “Washington again does the bidding of those who made a consistent destruction of Russia-US cooperation their main priority,” Zakharova wrote.
And shortly before Spicer spoke on Monday, Moscow’s top diplomat pounced on reports that a March 17 U.S. airstrike killed as many as 200 civilians in the Iraqi city of Mosul.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he was “startle[d]” by the report of the airstrike and said Moscow had requested a special briefing at the United Nations Security Council. Lavrov claimed that "several other tragic incidents in which civilians died have happened since” in the ISIS-controlled Iraqi city since then, according to an official transcript of his remarks posted online by Russia’s foreign ministry.
Lavrov, following a standard Russian playbook of flipping charges back at an accuser, also suggested that the joint U.S. and Iraqi offensive to liberate Mosul from ISIS was more brutal than the recent Russian and Syrian military campaign in Aleppo, Syria. “We have been monitoring the operation to liberate Mosul since its inception, because we remembered how some of our Western colleagues criticized us during the operation in eastern Aleppo,” Lavrov said.
Lavrov argued that Russia—which was widely condemned for brutal tactics, including airstrikes on hospitals and aid workers—had actually protected civilian lives in Aleppo by opening a “corridor” to allow militants to leave the city, reducing the scale of Russia’s military operation there.
He also urged that a similarly “cautious and responsible approach would be used by the coalition in its further actions in Mosul.” (The U.S. and Iraqi militaries have each launched investigations into the March 17 Mosul strike.)
“I don’t think anyone in the Pentagon will take kindly to being lectured by the Russians about what happened in Mosul,” said Andrew Weiss, a former Bill Clinton White House official handing Russia issues, who is now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
“Sadly, this is part of a familiar Russian playbook that has been used time and again by Putin, Lavrov and other senior figures,” Weiss added.
U.S. intelligence officials believe Putin interfered in the 2016 U.S. election in part to exact revenge on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who publicly backed major street protests against Putin in 2011.
Trump administration statements relating to Russia have so far generally tracked those of the Obama administration, which could suggest that U.S. officials are following old guidance as they await fresh policy direction.
More detail could come when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrives in Brussels on Friday for a meeting of NATO foreign ministers at which Russia is certain to be a main topic. Tillerson originally planned to skip the meeting, creating an uproar among NATO allies anxious about Trump’s commitment to European security.

Pruitt takes fire from conservatives in climate showdown
In dat artikel staat het volgende:
In dat artikel staat het volgende:
De republikeinse ideologen willen dat de regel geschrapt wordt, maar dat is nogal lastig naar het zich doet aanzien. Pruitt weet dus precies wat hij aan het doen is, en dat het standpunt van de meeste republikeinse beleidsmakers kolder is.quote:[...]
Reopening the endangerment finding is much easier said than done.
Any decision to revoke it would require a lengthy notice-and-comment rulemaking, which would lead to certain litigation brought by environmentalists and states like California and New York. To survive a court challenge, Trump officials would have to prove to a court that greenhouse gases no longer pose a danger — something most observers say would not fly before any judge given the depth of scientific evidence on climate change.

Trump takes eraser to Obama climate policies.
With the stroke of a pen tomorrow, President Trump plans to wipe out some key components of his predecessor's climate change legacy while kicking off efforts to repeal major climate rules.
Trump is slated to visit U.S. EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C., tomorrow afternoon, where he'll sign a sweeping executive order that the White House says will advance domestic "energy independence."
Among the big-ticket items the order will target are the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan rule to limit power plants' greenhouse gases. The document will also wipe out the Obama administration's coal-leasing moratorium on public lands and executive orders dealing with climate change.
* The White House will initiate a review of the Clean Power Plan — which limits existing power plants' emissions — and a related Obama rule aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions of new power plants
* The Obama administration's moratorium on new coal leases for federal lands will be rescinded
* Climate change guidance from the Council on Environmental Quality that deals with climate change will be rescinded
* Additional climate change executive orders and memoranda will be taken off the books. That will include Obama's Climate Action Plan
* Trump will knock down the Obama administration's calculation of the social cost of greenhouse gas emissions
* The order will direct each federal agency to identify rules and policies that serve as obstacles or impediments to domestic energy production. Over about 180 days, agencies and the White House will review those submissions, and those plans will serve as a blueprint for the administration going forward on energy policy.
