Mr. Warmbier Reveals How North Korea 'Brutalized' His Son, Blasts Obama Admin for Inaction

Cortney O'Brien / Townhall Tipsheet

Wearing the coat his son wore when he offered his confession last year, Mr. Fred Warmbier spoke out on his son Otto, who had been held in North Korea for months before being released this past week. Otto was taken hostage by the regime for trying to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel.

Warmbier thanked those who had offered their prayers. He also had special gratitude for Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), who stood by their side during the ordeal, as well as President Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who worked hard to bring Otto home.

Mr. Warmbier then shared his thoughts on the North Korean regime, who treated his son as a war criminal.

“He fought to stay alive through the worst the North Koreans put him through,” Mr. Warmbier said.

He and his wife Cindy were angered he was so “brutally treated for so long.” Fifteen months had gone by without them hearing a word from Otto. It wasn’t until a week ago the North Korean regime told them he was in a coma for almost all of that time. Mr. Warmbier denied the regime’s claim about how his son got botulism.

Special Counsel Probing Trump for Possible Obstruction: Report

Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating President Donald Trump for possible obstruction of justice, The Washington Post reported Wednesday night.

Citing multiple unnamed sources, the Post said the probe expanded from possible Russian collusion after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, whose agency had been looking at the Russia issue.

Five sources told the Post that interviews are being conducted with senior intelligence officials, including Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats, National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers and Rogers' former Deputy Director Richard Ledgett. It is not known whether others are being interviewed.

The NSA released a statement saying it would "fully cooperate with the special counsel," while Rogers' office and Ledgett didn't comment.

A spokesman for Trump's personal attorney Marc Kasowitz, who is the point man for questions regarding the special counsel probe, slammed the report, saying "The FBI leak of information regarding the President is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal."

Was James Comey the Media’s Primary “Leaker” All Along?

According to a new Fox News report, President Trump’s lawyers are prepared to prove that when former FBI Director James Comey told his buddy to go to the news media with his memos, it was only the latest of several instances in which the nation’s top law enforcement official leaked administration news to the press.

A source close to Trump’s legal team confirmed to Fox News that lawyers may soon file complaints with the inspector general of the Justice Department and the Senate Judiciary Committee:

Though Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 3 he’d never been — or directed another FBI official to be — an anonymous source for news reports about the Trump and Hillary Clinton investigations, the then-FBI chief did not deny orchestrating leaks using, for instance, an old friend who works at Columbia University, or providing the information to a wide enough group to ensure it would leak.

And in reference to a separate case, he acknowledged sending his infamous letter to lawmakers last fall announcing a revival of the Clinton email probe knowing full well what they’d do: “Did I know they were really going to leak it? Of course, I know how Congress works.”

Adding credence to the Fox News report was a tweet from the president himself earlier this week.

Christian minister James White has “kindred spirit” in jihadi imam Yasir Qadhi

By Robert Spencer/ Jihad Watch

This “dialogue” event between evangelical minister James White and jihadi imam Yasir Qadhi took place in the appropriately named Olive Branch, Mississippi last January, and while we don’t ordinarily write about archival material, this is such a spectacular example of the pitfalls of “interfaith dialogue,” and of going into discussions with Muslim spokesmen without being […]

Trump Attacked by Retired Admiral Who Chides: Terrorists Must Be Understood, Not Simply Killed

By Geller Report Staff

 

President Donald Trump’s method of dealing with terrorists — to fight them and kill them — has put him in the crosshairs of a former State Department spokesman who went on national television to chide the White House chief and say: You can’t simply kill terrorists. They must be first understood.

Really.

Because that was Barack Obama’s approach — the all diplomacy, all the time method — and it brought on the spread of ISIS.

But to John Kirby, reitred Rear Admiral in the U.S. Navy, it’s that — failed — approach that’s necessary.

“You cannot kill your way out of a terrorism problem,” Kirby said, on CNN. “We can hit these guys as often as we want and as aggressively as we want, but we are never going to kill the problem of terrorism.”

Kirby outright criticized Trump’s team for talking about terrorism in “very aggressive, military terms,” and called for softer language, a softer approach.

Just a Thought...
The Ultimate Goal
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor

Rep. Steve Scalise has been downgraded to 'critical' due to severe blood loss and to having far more damage to his hip and pelvis than expected. Rep. Scalise is facing more surgeries and his prognosis is guarded as I write this. And saddest of all is that this did NOT have to happen as the fault lies with the left and their hate filled rhetoric over an election lost. Scalise was the first...is President Trump next...is this the left's ultimate goal... heaven help our country if it is.
