Trump Wanted to Order Justice Dept. to Prosecute Comey and Clinton (The New York Times)
President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.
The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.

They better hope Americans don’t turn the tables on this one and call for boycotts at the movies, right?
It’s not that famous actors and actresses don’t have the right to speak their political minds, if they so choose. It’s just that nine times out of 10, when actors and actresses speak their political minds, the rest of us go — please don’t.
Please just stay on the big screen and read the script. [Read More]
Senator Ben Sasse visited with Late Show host Stephen Colbert in the promotion of his book Them.
Almost immediately the subject of Ivanka Trump’s use of private emails for government business came up, in the context of a similar story of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Colbert politely confronted the Nebraska Senator “in 2016 you called Hillary’s emails a serious matter that deserves our serious attention. Same here?” [Read More]
More millennials are moving back home – and it’s depressing everyone (Daily Mail)
More adult millennials are moving home to save money, and its making them more depressed, new research reveals.
And it’s making their parents pretty miserable too, according to other recent research.
A full third of young adults in the US live with their parents. In fact, millennial men and women are more likely to live with mom and dad than in any other living arrangement.
It might be a good way to save money for those still suffering the aftershocks of the Great Recession – but it can be seriously damaging to mental health, a new study conducted by German scientists found. [Read More]
As Black Friday and Cyber Monday approach, a study researchers at the University of Arizona found that even the staunchest online shoppers still wouldn’t do away with brick-and-mortar stores completely.
Major retailers and plenty of mom-and-pop shops have been closing all over the United States in recent years as a result of increased online shopping. With household names like Toys R Us going under more and more frequently, market experts have called this era the “retail apocalypse.” This latest research shows that should shopping malls and retail outlets become a thing of the past, there could be a slew of negative effects.
