Hey @STIFFBBC -thank you for the MSG and I've made the corrections on my posting misspellings as I had typed it while I was sitting in a business meeting which was super boring on my cell-phone.
Although Barr has summarized in a very short 4 page brief based on 300 pages of investigative notes that no conclusive evidence could be found that Trump broke the law he is not innocent but that is another story. Also I don't hate Trump but would use the word 'strongly dislike' him as hate is something not in my vocabulary nor *******. I do loathe the way he acts which is not the traits of a true leader worth following and he would be ousted within a week were he truly working as the CEO of a public corporation with a board of directors. People are looking at this as a Partisan political issue from a bias set of lens which they can't remove which I don't. The facts is simple, I dislike him for ethical, moral, decency, American reasons not from a Republican or democratic biased lens. Trump has a dozen of other investigations all still on-going with one being his campaign contributions used as hush money for the porn and playboy stars. There are a ton of other things yet to be revealed and in due time the truth will see the light. No this is not over by a long shot and his impeachment chances are still very real.
I don't see your point about Otto Warmbier, Trump's comments were asinine. Why are you trying to rationalize the situation - what Otto's parents stated immediately following Trump's comments is proof how offensive he is, his lack of ethics, decency, and defending 'All' American's siding with a foreign dictator who had a hand in an American's death. Also I would make a ton of money shorting the market if Trump was to go down and I would be laughing all the way to the Bank the same way John Paulson made the 'Greatest Trade Ever' making more money than God with over $20 billion when he shorted the sub-prime housing market in 2007, 2008. Either way if Trump remains or goes down in flames I would not lose any savings or a % of my 401K. I'd actually roll my 401K into giving my self a short-loan and then invested it doing something else uncorrelated with the Equity markets but thats another story also.
So I know for certain I would actually make a fortune financially and I do hope he goes down the way you state as if you know what to do you can actually make money faster when the markets collapse than you make waiting for it to go up. He may still be the instrument of causing millions of American's to lose in their 401Ks and be extremely angry yet as the yield curve is continuing to invert, Buffet was been in the headlines along with many other money managers discussing about how the Global Economy is in its late stages continuing to decline, and America may slip into a recession under his watch. Either way I'll be alright. But the moral and decency which we should expect and are used to has deteriorated which is not ok and I lament about. Ok, nothing has changed, no one's minds have changed - you either love him or 'dislike' him in my case and for all the reasons I laid out. So where do we go from here? How does the nation heal? A return to decency would be a good start and put aside all of the partisan squabbling. Hard to see that happening when Trump who is constantly purporting falsehoods and attacking American's who disagree with him is the most polarizing figure to ever be at the center of the American political system.
I would agree with you on all points except for that of Otto Warmbier. Again it was horrible and wrong with how he was treated and I neither intend to justify Trump's actions nor Kim Jun-Un over there but once again it was Warmbier's choice to visit that country when he should have avoided it. And when he was there the last thing you would desire to do is to poke the bear and then see what it does to you. To inform or to refresh the memories of those interested I am citing a portion of that wikipedia article about Otto Warmbier with his misadventures in North Korea here:
"Warmbier's ******* Fred stated that his *******, en route to Hong Kong to complete a study abroad program, was traveling in China at the end of 2015 when he saw a company offering trips to North Korea. He decided to book a tour because he was adventurous, according to his *******. Fred Warmbier said that the China-based tour operator, Young Pioneer Tours, appealed to young Westerners with slogans such as, "This is the trip your parents don't want you to take!", and advertised the trip as safe for U.S. citizens.[13][14]
Warmbier traveled to North Korea for a five-day New Year's tour of the country. Ten other U.S. citizens were in his tour group.[15][16][17][18][19]
The tour group celebrated New Year's Eve by carousing in Pyongyang's Kim Il-sung Square before returning to their accommodations at the Yanggakdo International Hotel, where they continued drinking alcohol.[20][21] Early in the morning of New Year's Day, Warmbier allegedly tried to steal a propaganda poster from a staff-only area of the hotel.[22][23] The poster stated (in Korean), "Let's arm ourselves strongly with Kim Jong-il's patriotism!" Harming or stealing such items with the name or image of a North Korean leader is considered a serious crime by the North Korean government.[24][25]".

Let's face it ******* do a lot of stupid foolish things and they often get away with a lot of garbage and they get minimal punishment for it for being minors like some teens in my city making news for beating up their teacher in class recently (
https://www.cp24.com/news/police-2-...-with-teacher-at-cabbagetown-school-1.4358663 ). Certainly the idiotic juvenile stunt Warmbier did to us does not warrant his ******* by stealing a poster ( and if he wanted such items of propaganda so badly as a souvenir to bring back to America I would think he could buy one somewhere over there? ) but don't forget Kim Jung-Un isn't really a nice guy as he had his half-brother murdered (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Kim_Jong-nam ), had his uncle killed (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jang_Song-thaek ),
had his Minister for Education killed in 2016 arrested and executed in 2016 just for having a bad attitude (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Yong-jin_(politician) ), and he incinerated his cousin alive by flamethrower for supporting the uncle Kim Jung-Un killed ( also in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jang_Song-thaek ), other murders he committed are listed here (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_officials_purged_and_executed_by_Kim_Jong-un ), and there is even a local Korean pastor in Toronto who personally visited North Korea dozens of times and he got incarcerated in a labor camp North Korea for over 2 years ( possibly by assisting any underground churches there and suggesting that there was another god than Kim Jung-Un? ) (
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/north-korea-pastor-lim-barton-interview-1.4261279 ) (
https://torontolife.com/city/life/spent-919-days-north-korean-prison/ ). Therefore with the prior evidence of Kim Jung-Un's behaviour, what else would be expected when Kim Jung-Un is to decide what happens to Otto Warmbier? Sadly Warmbier got into an arena with the bull and he got impaled by it's horns by messing with Kim Jung-Un when he could have steered clear of him entirely. Or if he really desired to go there just like journalists do, and pastors like Hyeon Soo Lim (
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/north-korea-pastor-lim-barton-interview-1.4261279 ) follow all their rules. It is just as bad as enraging MrPutin as Alexander Litvinenko did but that is another story (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Litvinenko ). Peace.
