Trump: Hillary Clinton ‘Would Be Going To Trial’ if Comey Wasn’t ‘Very, Very Good’ to Her
Trump: “When he (Comey) was reading those charges, she was guilty of every charge”
President Trump argued in a television interview that aired Wednesday that former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton would be “going to trial” if FBI director Jim Comey hadn’t been “very, very good” to her.
Speaking to Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo, Trump brought up how Comey announced in July he wouldn’t recommend prosecution over Clinton’s email server while secretary of state.
“Don’t forget when Jim Comey came out, he saved Hillary Clinton,” Trump said. “People don’t realize that. He saved her life. Because I call it ‘Comey 1.’ And I joke about it a little bit. When he was reading those charges, she was guilty of every charge. And then he said she was essentially OK
U.S. drops ‘mother of all bombs’ on ISIS: America’s most massive non-nuclear weapon is used for first time in combat on caves in Afghanistan
U.S. dropped its largest non-nuclear weapon after targeting ISIS in Afghanistan
The GBU-43 bomb weighs 21,600 pounds, is 30 feet long, contains 11 tons of explosives and carries a mile-wide blast radius
It can create a blast crater more than 300 meters wide after being dropped from a Hercules MC-130 cargo plane
The United States has dropped its largest non-nuclear weapon after it targeted ISIS a network of caves and tunnels in eastern Afghanistan.
U.S. forces used a GPS-guided GBU-43 bomb, which is 30 feet long and weighs a staggering 21,600 pounds.
A crater left by the blast is believed to be more than 300 meters wide. It has been described as the ‘Mother Of All Bombs’ – a play on the ‘MOAB’ acronym, which actually stands for ‘Massive Ordnance Air Burst.’
White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that MOAB is ‘a large, powerful and accurately delivered weapon’ whose use was intended to collapse underground spaces used by ISIS terrorists to move freely and attack U.S. and allied troops.
‘The United States takes the fight against ISIS seriously, and in order to defeat the group we must deny them operational space – which we did,’ Spicer said.
He referred reporters’ questions to the Pentagon.
A specialized MC-130 ‘Hercules’ cargo aircraft released the weapon at 7:00 p.m. local time.
It was too big to drop from a traditional bomb-bay door or release from an aircraft wing, so ‘we kicked it out the back door,’ a U.S. official told Fox News.
The weapon’s sheer power produces a blast that can be felt miles away., largely because of its construction.
Engineers used an unusually thin aluminum skin to encase MOAB’s payload, in order to avoid a thicker steel frame interfering with the impact on a target.
The U.S. fast-tracked the MOAB in 2003 for use in Operation Iraqi Freedom, but the Defense Department later decided that the enemy provided too little resistance to justify its deployment.
Border Patrol Union President RIPS Paul Ryan for Delaying Funding on Border Wall
Border Patrol Union President RIPS Paul Ryan for Delaying Funding on Border Wall (VIDEO)
Brandon Judd, National Border Patrol Council President
Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd blasted Speaker Paul Ryan for not funding President Trump’s border wall in this year’s budget.
Judd joined Stewart Varney this morning on Varney and Co.
Stewart Varney: There is a report this morning that Speaker Paul Ryan is suggesting that Congress delay border wall funding until next year. What do you say about that?
Brandon Judd: I disagree. President Trump promised he was going to secure the border and part of securing the border is putting in place the proper technology and resources that allows us to be successful. And a border wall in strategic locations is one of those things that must get done.

Soros-funded prosecutor ousted in Florida by Gov Rick Scott
Florida governor Rick Scott reassigned 21 first-degree murder cases in Orange and Osceola counties to other prosecutors after he ultimately acknowledged that State Attorney Aramis Ayala had an agenda other than that of justice.
Ayala campaigned for the position in November with $1.38 million donated to her by the Florida Safety & Justice PAC, which is funded by billionaire liberal activist George Soros. Once on the job, she refused to ever seek the death penalty for any suspect.
According to a report in The Washington Times, the last straw came when Ayala declared in a press conference on March 16 that “she would not seek the death penalty against Markeith Loyd, who has been charged in the murders of his pregnant ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon in December and Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton in January, or any other defendants.”
“While I currently do have [the] discretion to pursue death sentences, I have determined that doing so is not in the best interest of this community or in the best interests of justice,” Ayala, a Democrat, told reporters.
Governor Scott’s response was to reassign the case to a prosecutor in another circuit. He followed that up with the decision to reassign all of Ayala’s current cases “in the interest of justice” via this week’s executive order.
“Each of these cases I am reassigning represents a horrific loss of life,” Scott said, adding that the victims’ families “deserve a state attorney who will take the time to review every individual fact and circumstance before making such an impactful decision.”
Ayala has fired back at the governor, accusing him of abusing his power; her attorney said that she does plan to fight the order.
State attorney spokeswoman Eryka Washington told reporters on Monday, “Ms. Ayala remains steadfast in her position [that] the governor is abusing his authority and has compromised the independence and integrity of the criminal justice system.”
In 2015 and 2016, the Soros-backed network of state Safety & Justice committees funded at least ten other candidates for prosecutor through generous contributions which helped nine of them to win elections in ten states.
Soros is known to oppose the death penalty and stands behind the Black Lives Matter movement.
Ousted incumbent Jeff Ashton accused Ayala of trying to buy the office.
“I am not a puppet, never have been a puppet, and there is no one pulling my strings. I made the independent decision to run for state attorney because I want the job,” she fired back, despite her massive funding from Soros.
The issue caused outrage on social media when it was reported that a Seminole County clerk’s office employee resigned last month after saying on Facebook that Ayala “should be tarred and feathered if not hung from a tree.”
After calling on the governor to get rid of Ayala, GOP state Rep. Bob Cortes said he received a threat on his Facebook page and had to call the police. “Basically, they were in disagreement of what position I took, and they called me a traitor and [said] that my family was in danger.”
Members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s (NAACP) Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the Florida Legislative Black Caucus agreed with Ayala’s stance, calling Scott’s order “an unfettered and uninformed power grab.”
However, according to Scott, the reassigned cases are so heinous that they are absolutely eligible for death-penalty consideration.
“Some of the victims include a teenager whose life was taken before he could bravely testify as a witness to a dangerous crime, a single mother who was abducted and killed as she called for help, and a young child whose life was brutally cut short,” he described. “I cannot imagine the pain their families endure each day and we will do all we can to aggressively fight for justice.”

President Trump Wins MAJOR Trade Concessions from China
Financial Times
Following meetings with Chinese President Xi, we have learned that President Trump has won major trade concessions from China. The concessions include dropping the ban on American beef that had been in place since 2003.
The Obama administration failed miserably at trade and foreign relations on the whole (*cough* *cough* Hillary . . .) and with the new administration’s ‘America first’ approach to trade and economics thus far, President Xi of China has taken a big step toward solidifying a fruitful relationship with the U.S.
The other major trade concession has to do with allowing foreign entities (U.S. citizens) to hold majority stakes in Chinese investment and securities companies, the Financial Times reports.
So far, in regards to China, POTUS Trump has done a great job of reaching a level of understanding and friendship that will be useful for the state of global relations.
