The Republican Party, commonly referred to as the GOP (abbreviation for Grand Old Party), is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, the other being its historic rival, the Democratic Party.
Founded by anti-slavery activists, modernists, ex-Whigs, and ex-Free Soilers in 1854, the Republicans dominated politics nationally and in the majority of northern States for most of the period between 1860 and 1932. There have been 18 Republican presidents, the first being Abraham Lincoln, who served from 1861 until his assassination in 1865, and the most recent being George W. Bush, who served from 2001 to 2009. The most recent Republican presidential nominee is former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who lost in 2012 to Democratic incumbent Barack Obama.
Although it is named after republicanism, that concept is no longer widely used. Instead republican ideals have been incorporated into the concept of conservatism, which serves as the ideological core of the party. This conservatism contrasts with the modern liberalism of the Democrats. The Republican Party's conservatism involves support for free market capitalism, free enterprise, business, a strong national defense, deregulation, restrictions on labor unions, social-conservative policies (particularly opposition to abortion), and traditional values, usually with a Christian foundation. The party is deeply split on the issue of how to deal with illegal immigration.
James Brien Comey, Jr. (born December 14, 1960) is an American lawyer. He is the seventh and current Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He was the United States Deputy Attorney General, serving in President George W. Bush's administration. As Deputy Attorney General, Comey was the second-highest-ranking official in the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and ran the day-to-day operations of the Department, serving in that office from December 2003 through August 2005. He was U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York prior to becoming Deputy Attorney General.
In December 2003, as Deputy Attorney General, Comey appointed the U.S. Attorney in Chicago, close friend and former colleague Patrick Fitzgerald, as Special Counsel to head the CIA leak grand jury investigation after Attorney General John Ashcroft recused himself. In August 2005, Comey left the DOJ and he became General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Lockheed Martin. In 2010, he became General Counsel at Bridgewater Associates. In early 2013, he left Bridgewater to become Senior Research Scholar and Hertog Fellow on National Security Law at Columbia Law School. He also joined the London-based board of directors of HSBC Holdings.

Congressman Francis Rooney (R-FL) says the president's conduct toward James Comey - as described in the former FBI director's written Senate testimony - doesn't amount to obstruction of justice. » Subscribe to MSNBC: http://on.msnbc.com/SubscribeTomsnbc About: MSNBC is the premier destination for in-depth analysis of daily headlines, insightful political commentary and informed perspectives.

Rep Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, says the freedom caucus is willing to stay through August recess to pass tax reform.
https://democracynow.org - Former FBI Director James Comey will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee today on whether President Donald Trump pressured him on more than one occasion to end a probe into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Comey, fired by Trump last month, released his planned opening statement on Wednesday. In his statement, he alleged that in late January he was summoned to the White House for dinner with Trump. At the dinner, Trump declared, "I need loyalty, I expect loyalty." The hearing comes a day after senior national security officials dodged questions by committee members over whether Trump asked them to intervene in Comey’s investigation. We speak with Marcy Wheeler, an independent journalist who covers national security and civil liberties. ...

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has been an indispensable source for citizens seeking to understand the investigations into President Donald Trump and his campaign associates. The former editor of the Harvard Law Review worked as associate counsel to Independent Counsel Lawrence Edward Walsh during the Iran-Contra affair and Oliver North’s criminal trial, followed by service as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn. Yet when CNN host Erin Burnett wondered why James Comey didn’t resign, it did not take much of Toobin’s legal skill to respond. “You know another reason he didn’t resign?” Toobin asked out loud. “Because he was fired!” “This all happened pretty fast, this guy’s only be president for 130 days,” Toobin pointed out. Toobin had a hard time maintaining composure as he was cle...
According to his lawyers, newly elected GOP Montana congressman Greg Gianforte will enter a plea and be sentenced on a charge of assaulting a reporter during last month's special election. Gianforte is currently scheduled to appear in a Gallatin County Justice court room Monday on a misdemeanor charge. The plea comes the same day the reporter in question, Ben Jacobs, signed a release agreeing not to sue the congressman and to not object to Gianforte entering a no contest plea in the criminal case. This week, Gianforte also wrote a letter of apology to Jacobs and pledged to donate $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists. http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/386c25518f464186bf7a2ac026580ce7/Article_2017-06-08-US--Gianforte-Assault%20Charge/id-77daf34406cd47fa9172d30ae4d1d946 http://www.wo...

Although the president has been vocal about his stance that the Affordable Care Act created "victims" unable to afford the life-saving coverage they needed, doctors say the proposed Republican replacement could also cut critical services for patients with severe disabilities and other long-term conditions.

that world come crasing down then the people under could
come crawling out see the sun for the first time
it would burn them without a doubt but that burn would feel so good,
