Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize by House Republicans, who believe his threats of sanctions and war is the "only reason" why Pyongyang is reconciling with Seoul and moving towards denuclearization.

Trump should "receive the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his work to end the Korean War, denuclearize the Korean peninsula and bring peace to the region," the nomination letter, addressed to the Norwegian Nobel committee by Indiana Republican Luke Messer, recommended.

The endorsement letter was signed by another seventeen House Republicans who could think of "no one more deserving" than President Trump to receive the prestigious award for his "tireless work to bring peace to our world."

"President Trump's peace through strength policies are working and bringing peace to the Korean Peninsula," the letter states.

"The President's strong leadership is the only reason North Korea is now coming to the table and he deserves recognition for this unprecedented progress toward peace," Messer said.

FBI delays release of communications with Crowdstrike until October

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has pushed back the estimated completion date of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents pertaining to its communications with the security firm that examined the Democratic National Committee's hacked servers to October.

The Washington Free Beacon submitted the FOIA request in July 2017 with the FBI seeking all communication between the bureau and CrowdStrike, Inc., the California-based cyber security firm that examined the DNC's servers following the infiltration that led to the release of John Podesta's emails. The FBI said in December the documents should be available by March.

The FBI, which was never granted access to the DNC's servers for inspection, instead relied on the third-party firm that was brought in by the DNC for information regarding the compromised network who concluded that Russia was behind the hack.

The FBI previously awarded an unrelated $150,000 contract to CrowdStrike in July 2015. Details and communications between the firm and the bureau regarding that past contract were requested as part of the FOIA.

The request additionally sought all communications spanning from April 1, 2016 - one month before the firm was brought in by the DNC to analyze the servers - and July 7, 2017, the day the FOIA request was submitted to the FBI.

Former Trump lawyer says Mueller may subpoena Trump if he declines to speak to investigators

Special Counsel Robert Mueller, in a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump's lawyers in March, raised the possibility of issuing a subpoena for Trump if he declines to talk to investigators in the Russia probe, a former lawyer for the president said on Tuesday.

John Dowd told Reuters that Mueller mentioned the possibility of a subpoena in the early March meeting. Mueller's subpoena warning was first reported by the Washington Post, which cited four people familiar with the encounter.

"This isn't some game. You are screwing with the work of the president of the United States," Dowd said he told the investigators, who are probing possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Dowd left the president's legal team about two weeks after the meeting.

The Post said Mueller had raised the possibility of a subpoena after Trump's lawyers said the president had no obligation to talk with federal investigators involved in the probe.

After the March meeting, Mueller's team agreed to provide the president's lawyers with more specific information about the subjects they wished to ask Trump, the Post reported.

Comment: The leaked questions just demonstrate what everyone knows: that the Mueller investigation is a witch-hunt: Leaked Mueller questions prove investigation is a witch-hunt - Mueller wants to take Trump down, but doesn't have the evidence to do so

Recently there have been media reports that Robert Mueller's investigators have informed Donald Trump that he is not a target of the Mueller investigation.

The highly aggressive questions Mueller wants to ask Trump however tell a very different story. The consistent theme behind them is of a Donald Trump who is very much at the centre of all sorts of nefarious activities.

Frankly they do not look like the sort of questions an investigator asks if he searching for the truth. Rather they look like cross examination by prosecuting Counsel.

In light of this Trump's hesitation in submitting himself to an interview by Mueller in which these sort of questions are asked is fully understandable.

I suspect his lawyers are advising him against it.

Media attacks Jill Stein over her non-existent collusion with Russia

It's a rare occasion that mainstream media turns its attention to a third party presidential candidate and gets them on-air. Attacking them over 'collusion' with Russia? In this case, an exception may be made.

The former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein gave an interview to CNN, explaining her campaign's decision not to hand over all documents requested by the Senate Intelligence Committee, relating to contacts and discussions with Russians in the run-up to the 2016 election.

Stein said her campaign handed over most documents to the Senate committee's probe into alleged Russian interference in the election, but partly objected to the request for communications with "Russian persons, or representatives of Russian government, media, or business interests." Stein argued that the request was too broad and targeted people simply "because they happen to be Russian immigrants or of Russian descent."

"We thought that where requests were made that violated basic constitutional protections, that wasn't a good idea, not for anybody, and we did not want to be part of setting a precedent that intrudes further on our civil liberties," she explained to CNN's Chris Cuomo.

Kiev shielded Manafort from corruption probe to ensure delivery of US cash & weapons

Ukraine froze four corruption investigations into former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in order to avoid angering the American president, as the White House finalized a $47 million deal to sell anti-tank missiles to Kiev.

According to Ukrainian officials who spoke to the New York Times, Kiev is too reliant on US financial and military aid to risk irritating Trump, who is hugely critical of the investigation into alleged Russian interference and collusion in the 2016 presidential election.

Volodymyr Ariev, a member of the Ukrainian parliament and ally of Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko, admitted that the Manafort investigations were put "in the long-term box" to avoid spoiling relations with the Trump administration.

Bibi Baby: "Provided a fascinating glimpse into a psychotic tribal mind"

Yesterday PM Netanyahu provided a fascinating glimpse into a psychotic tribal mind. A clown who sits on a huge pile of WMDs, an arsenal of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons designed to kill millions, is crying foul, complaining that another state in the region may attempt to equip itself with similar weapons as a means of deterrence. Netanyahu's performance looked like a raging toddler pointing to another toddler's nappies while his own pampers are dripping from every direction.

Israel is widely believed to be the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East. Israel has never allowed any international body into its nuclear and other WMD facilities.

Comment:

Those in high places have certainly helped to make it so with many of their neighbours.

Hungarian Foreign Minister criticizes Austria's President for siding with George Soros and migrant plan

Péter Szijjártó criticized Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen

The Hungarian government has locked horns with globalist billionaire George Soros on several occasions, with Budapest accusing him and his nongovernment organizations (NGOs) of interfering in the country's internal affairs to push and serve his pro-migrant agenda.

Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó criticized Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen on Monday for supporting George Soros' interests in Europe, according to a Hungarian government press release.

He also took the opportunity to once again hit out at Soros' pro-migrant stance.

"George Soros doesn't represent the people of Europe, but the migrants, and above all else his own interests. This is what speculators are like. The Hungarian government doesn't want to build the country's future on migrants, but on Hungarian families who live in peace and security," Minister Szijjártó said on May 1.

Comment: George Soros manipulates whole societies so that he can speculate - or gamble - on things going a certain way. But a number of governments have already gotten wise to his ways and have already put a stop to it. Other nations seeking to maintain their cohesion would be wise to do the same.

Drain the swamp or fill it? Trump has made things worse - poll

More than two thirds of Americans believe that US President Donald Trump has failed to deliver on his cornerstone campaign promise to "drain the swamp" in Washington, DC, a new poll has found.

The freshly released poll from Monmouth University found that 37 percent of Americans think that Trump has not really changed anything about the DC culture and a further 31 percent believe he has actually made things worse. However, one quarter of the poll's respondents said Trump has made progress draining the swamp.

This is the fourth time Monmouth has asked the question in a poll since Trump took office. The results show a marginal positive outlook compared to when the question was last asked, in December 2017.
