Developing countries and trade wars. Watch the entire video but as you watch it, be ready for 9:10 for something quite interesting.

**************************************** Short Takes   Trade wars: this tells me all I need to know about the "trade war" between the US and China.

Comey

This is all I need to know about Comey, former FBI director, fired by the president for "insubordination." 

Now it is being reported that Comey is being investigated by the DOJ, again. Comey characterizes these investigations as "frivolous." Remember, Comey is not a politician. He is a lawyer and past director of the FBI. He should know that DOJ investigations are not "frivolous."
