WASHINGTON --The Just stanley cup ice Department has turned over to Congress additional text messages involving an FBI agent who wa stanley cup s removed from special counsel Robert Mueller s investigative team following the discovery of derogatory comments about President Trump.But the department also said in a letter to lawmakers that its record of messages sent to and from the agent, Peter Strzok, was incomplete because the FBI, for technical reasons, had been unable to preserve and retrieve about five months worth of communications.New text messages highlighted in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray by Sen.

They reference Attorney General Loretta Lynch s decision to accept the FBI s conclusion in that case and a draft statement that former FBI Director James Comey had prepared in anticipation of closing out the Clinton investigation without criminal charges.

Now, 72 percent say it s going well, a 56-point increase. Independents are also more positive now than they were under President Obama. On handling the situation in Syria, there is no greater confidence now than there was just after President Trump ordered a missile strike against a Syrian air base. Again, there are large partisan gaps, with most Democrats and independents uneasy.

And Obama, most notably, spent over a stanley cup decade teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School, raising the question of how his professorial past will affect leadership styles and national priorities.

He aspires to be an active leader in the world. Smith - who has spoken with Obama s former students and his Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe - said Obama is an effective teacher because he seeks different points of view and creates an atmosphere in which all political perspectives are articulated. That will likely translate into an Abraham Lincoln-style Cabinet of high-powered opponents who disagree with each other and Obama himself, he predicted. He ll bring to the presidency his capacity to explore different points of view in order to make better decisions, Smith said.
