Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Working-level nuclear talks in Sweden between officials from Pyongyang and Washington have broken off, North Korea's top negotiator has said, dashing prospects for an end to months of stalemate.
The talks, at an isolated conference centre on the outskirts of Stockholm, were the first such formal discussions since US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met in June and agreed to restart negotiations that stalled after a failed summit in Vietnam in February.
The North's chief nuclear negotiator, Kim Myong Gil, who spent much of the day in talks with an American delegation, cast the blame on what he portrayed as US inflexibility, saying the other side's negotiators would not "give up their old viewpoint and attitude".
"The negotiations have not fulfilled our expectation and finally broke off," Kim told reporters outside the North Korean embassy, speaking through an interpreter.
The US State Department said Kim's comments did not reflect "the content or spirit" of nearly nine hours of talks, and Washington had accepted Sweden's invitation to return for more discussions with Pyongyang in two weeks.
"The US brought creative ideas and had good discussions with its DPRK counterparts," spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement. North Korea is also known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
She said the US delegation had previewed a number of new initiatives that would pave the way for progress in the talks, and underscored the importance of more intensive engagement.
[...] On Saturday, negotiator Kim accused the US of having no intention of solving difficulties through dialogue, but said a complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula was still possible.
It would only happen "when all the obstacles that threaten our safety and check our development are removed completely without a shadow of doubt," he said, in an apparent reference to North Korea's desire for Washington to ease economic pressure.
On Sunday, China's President Xi Jinping and the North's leader exchanged messages to reaffirm the neighbours' relationship on the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties. China is the North's only major ally.

I thought the investigation concluded. But don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of how the investigation started and those who violated the laws to manufacture a way to spy on Trump will be tried and convicted.

He is still obstructing justice as we speak. He won't hand over his tax forms and other papers that are being subpoenaed.

Back to the tax returns? You must be desperate to remove him.
Is he legally required to hand them over? I think you'll find out the answer is: no.

Yes, we are entitled.. We have a right to make sure our politicians are squeaky clean. And yes, we should remove a president that is committing crimes. I don't care who it is.

And where were you when there were actual crimes such as fast and furious gun running? The paperwork was falsified when buying from gun stores. Hence, a crime. Oh, right, you care about integrity when it benefits your team.

Nobody really wants Nixon back, but it's a weird world we live in when Nixon of all people is better than the guy in power, isn't it?
