President Donald Trump’s legislative affairs director said Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller has moved outside the sphere of his original investigation into election meddling ? and declined to rule out the possibility of Trump firing him.
“We believe the scope has gone well beyond what was intended to be Russian meddling in the election,” Marc Short said on “Meet the Press” on NBC. Short declined to rule out Trump firing Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, saying: “We don't know how far off the investigation is going to veer.”
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), said on “Meet the Press” she disagrees with Short’s assessment, noting that Mueller handed off information on Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to the U.S. attorney’s office in New York rather than broaden his own investigation. “I believe he’s staying within the parameters,” Collins said of Mueller’s investigation. 0756日出づる処の名無し2018/04/23(月) 10:21:24.06ID:8krdsrv8>>751 退位には呼ばないだろうね 即位式には王家ご招待くらいじゃね 王家がない国は大使で

Ten years ago, Amazon introduced the Kindle and established the appeal of reading on a digital device. Four years ago, Jeff Bezos and company rolled out the Echo, prompting millions of people to start talking to a computer. Now Amazon.com Inc. is working on another big bet: robots for the home.
プロジェクトのコードネームはヴェスタ、Gregg Zehrが監督、カリフォルニアの サニーベールのLab126で開発 The retail and cloud computing giant has embarked on an ambitious, top-secret plan to build a domestic robot, according to people familiar with the plans. Codenamed “Vesta,” after the Roman goddess of the hearth, home and family, the project is overseen by Gregg Zehr, who runs Amazon’s Lab126 hardware research and development division based in Sunnyvale, California. Lab126 is responsible for Amazon devices such as the Echo speakers, Fire TV set-top- boxes, Fire tablets and the ill-fated Fire Phone.
The Vesta project originated a few years ago, but this year Amazon began to aggressively ramp up hiring. There are dozens of listings on the Lab 126 Jobs page for openings like “Software Engineer, Robotics” and “Principle Sensors Engineer.” People briefed on the plan say the company hopes to begin seeding the robots in employees’ homes by the end of this year, and potentially with consumers as early as 2019, though the timeline could change, and Amazon hardware projects are sometimes killed during gestation.（後略） 0786日出づる処の名無し2018/04/24(火) 01:23:28.77ID:cMeY4dNJ 日本の最高位はトヨタ自動車の11位： 企業の研究開発費ランキング、1位はアマゾン http://www.itmedia.co.jp/business/spv/1710/25/news121.html
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany ? Chinese-made smartphones that the heads of U.S. intelligence have urged Americans not to buy are being sold to servicemembers across Germany at on-base exchange facilities. The Huawei phones, which are being sold by TKS, an Army and Air Force Exchange Service concessionary and subsidiary of Vodaphone, could be used to gather sensitive information, according to U.S. intelligence agencies. They are banned for official government use in most cases.
The Defense Department asked whether Huawei mobile phones were being sold at exchange facilities but has not offered any other direction, said AAFES senior spokesman Chris Ward.
“We responded ‘yes’ and have had no other inquiries,” Ward said in an email response. “Should there be an official determination made by law enforcement officials that these phones present a security risk, the Exchange will instruct its vendors to remove impacted products from their assortment.”
Officials at Ramstein Air Base, where Europe’s largest exchange and a TKS concessionary operate, said they are aware that the phones are being sold on base. Although officials did not address Huawei specifically, they said that servicemembers should adhere to operational security standards when they post anything online, take pictures or configure their location settings.（後略） 0789日出づる処の名無し2018/04/24(火) 04:32:30.83ID:MhrufhJghttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-23/flight-records-illuminate-mystery-of-trump-s-moscow-nights Flight Records Illuminate Mystery of Trump's Moscow Nights By Vernon Silver 2018年4月24日 3:14 JST トランプ大統領と批判派の間の論争になっている2013年11月のトランプ氏のモスクワ訪問に ついて、ブルームバーグはプライベート・ジェットの飛行記録を入手。大統領はモスクワに 宿泊せず当日、帰国に旅立ったと言うが、飛行記録はモスクワで45時間の滞在を示す

After months of deriding Kim Jong-Un as "little rocket man," a "maniac," and a "madman," President Donald Trump on Tuesday praised the North Korean dictator as a "very open" and "very honorable" negotiator.
"We're having very, very good discussions," Trump said during a bilateral meeting with President Emmanuel Macron of France in the White House Cabinet Room. "Kim Jong Un was ? he really has been very open. I think very honorable, from everything we're seeing."
Asked to clarify his compliments at a joint press conference with Macron later on Tuesday, Trump said the tone of his yet-to-be-scheduled historic sit-down with Kim is "going to be very positive," and refused to speculate on the outcome the meeting.
“I hope that we will be able to deal in a very open and honorable fashion with North Korea,” he said. The president added that “a meeting is a great thing,” but said his administration has not yet discussed any concessions for a potential summit with Kim, such as the release of three Americans who remain imprisoned in North Korea.
