Trumplodytes eat it up...

Trump had hinted at a potential development in their case last week in a tweet: "As everybody is aware, the past Administration has long been asking for three detainees to be released from a North Korean Labor camp, but to no avail. Stay tuned!"

He did not mention that two of the Americans had been detained after he became President.

I know they do, trust me. It's as bad if not worse than how most of the working class are treated in this country.  Teachers get a raw deal too for what they do.  We seem to have our priorities in all the wrong places.  It's really sad and I hope those militant millenials can change what we couldn't and now get blamed by them, for.

Donald Trump threatens to 'take away media's credentials' over negative news stories about him
'Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt?'

(...) The billionaire appeared to be responding to a segment on his favourite cable news show, Fox & Friends, which aired figures collated by Media Research Center (MRC), a right-wing media watchdog.

In the study, the authors said the “liberal media’s war” against Mr Trump was “as fierce as ever” during the first four months of 2018. 

They claimed 90 per cent of evaluative comments about Mr Trump during evening news broadcasts by ABC, CBS and NBC were negative.

The president’s suggestion appeared to be a threat to remove access to the White House for news networks he considers overly hostile. Critics said any such move could be considered an attack on the First Amendment. (...)

      I kinda think China might be thinking about a nearby land war that costs far fewer resources and gets them the largest fresh water lake in the world(hint-not in Korea or some porn stars panties). Because there are a lot of Chinese people and their water supply sucks.

Given his track history, I doubt Trump had much direct involvement in the release. Probably just apprised of the developments as they went along.
 
It did happen on his watch so he get points for that. At least his administration was able to accomplish something.

Since words that come out of Trump's mouth are only marginally less war-bonered than what Bolton spews and therefore I dismiss those quotes, I don't find much in that article that could be construed as supporting your position.

this i think touches on on some salient points and hopefully is (and should be) a teachable moment for those unaware of the systemic problems and unintended consequences

the evolution and expansion of bureaucratic government power versus civil rights (another casualty mainly fueled by senseless wars and political fear)

in five minutes or so you can understand the concept/methodology

Of Course Trump Should Avoid Talking To Mueller Voluntarily and Take the Fifth If/When Subpoenaed

"If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?" Donald Trump once said. He may be about to find out.


As Robert Mueller's investigation continues into possible collusion between the Trump administration and Russians seeking to influence the 2016 election, I've got some free legal advice for the president of the United States: Don't talk to this guy voluntarily and, if subpoenaed, take the Fifth like a dime-store mafioso without batting an eye.

I write as a non-lawyer and as a non-fan, non-hater of Donald Trump. I write as someone who is seriously worried about the ways in which law enforcement routinely screws people not by catching them red-handed in a crime but by nailing them on things that are criminal-adjacent rather than the crime itself. I write as someone deeply concerned about factions within the government using largely uncontrollable powers to dispatch enemies.

If there's one thing even more foolish than a lawyer who takes himself as a client, it's anyone who freely talks to law enforcement when they can avoid it (which Trump can). As defense attorney, former federal prosecutor, and influential legal blogger Ken White wrote recently at Reason:

When the feds interview a subject or target, their goal is not mere information-gathering or fact-finding or "clearing a few things up." Their goal is the hunt....

The purpose of the "hunt" is to catch witnesses in a lie that may or may not really matter much to the larger issue at hand but will count enough to underwrite a conviction for, well, lying to law enforcement. That's what Trump associate George Papadopoulos got nailed for, and Michael Flynn too. Back in the day, that's what cost Martha Stewart her freedom (contrary to popular wisdom, her jail time had nothing to do with insider trading and more to do with defending herself in public). Once you've got someone on lying, obstructing justice, or anything else, you can then flip them to move up the pyramid to catch Mr. Big. Who in this case is Donald Trump.

When special counsels or FBI agents ask questions of one of these powerful people, they are not fact-finding. They've already done their homework. They've already gathered facts—almost certainly many more facts than the interviewee knows. They are asking questions the answers to which they can already prove, hoping that the interviewee will tell a provable lie, and thus commit a crime, or at least lock themselves into a feckless story that ties their hands later. The law that makes it a crime to lie to federal investigators does not require the lie to fool the investigators for a nanosecond. A lie must be "material" to be criminal, but that only means that the lie is the kind of statement that could conceivably influence the government, not one that actually did. The FBI can roll up with irrefutable proof of something, ask the target a question hoping for a lie, collect the lie they wanted, and reap a felony conviction.

Recall too that in the end it was Bill Clinton's lying and attempts to circumvent legal prosecution that got him into his most serious legal (though not political) trouble. There's no way to play nice with federal investigators and Trump has more leverage than any other person in America to push back and not participate, at least not voluntarily.

"I’m not expecting much to come from it."



You right not to expect much. Two days ago on this thread I posted an excerpt and link to this NYT piece on the near-impossibility of being able to verify that North Korea had gotten rid of its nuclear weapons.

Verifying the End of a Nuclear North Korea ‘Could Make Iran Look Easy’
While there is no question Iran hid much of its weapons-designing past, North Korea has concealed programs on a far larger scale and built an arsenal of 20 to 60 nuclear warheads — compared with none in Iran. In fact, the Iran inspections, the I.A.E.A. says, have gone on without a hitch in the past two years, though it is a far smaller, comparatively easier effort.

...
Four years ago, the RAND Corporation, which often conducts studies for the Defense Department, estimated that finding and securing the North’s weapons of mass destruction if the nation fell apart — or into any situation in which it might be hostile to inspection — could require up to 273,000 troops. That is far more than the peak of the American occupying force in Iraq.
...

Everyone agrees that such a program of disarmament would involve the North’s surrendering its nuclear arms. But American intelligence agencies have vastly differing estimates of the size of the arsenal, be it the C.I.A.’s assessment of around 20 nuclear weapons or the Defense Intelligence Agency’s estimate of about 60. That means it is possible that inspectors would never know for sure if they had found everything.


 
All this presupposes some form of disarmament agreement can be reached. I’m skeptical that it even that it gets that far.
