something they should have done 2 years ago. All my posts both sides of The Forum have been about how The EU were not negotiating and now its out in the open. Whats crazy is the total silence. Silence comes from fear. The UK will not just be better off being outside the club but clearly the club feels stabbed in the back however they forget one thing ....The People requested this when they were asked the question....IE The peasants revolted. More fool The EU for around the corner there are a couple of former Eastern Bloc countries who may get fed up with Brussels and then there s always that thorny question..... Italy....They are right to be afraid but they are wrong to blame The UK

U.K.’s Theresa May Says Brexit Negotiations Have Reached ‘an Impasse’ - wsj
But the New Yawk Times now sez it happened --- "so it mus' be da trooot"
Mr. Rosenstein made the remarks about secretly recording Mr. Trump and about the 25th Amendment in meetings and conversations with other Justice Department and F.B.I. officials. Several people described the episodes, insisting on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The people were briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by F.B.I. officials, including Andrew G. McCabe, then the acting bureau director, that documented Mr. Rosenstein’s actions and comments.
None of Mr. Rosenstein’s proposals apparently came to fruition. It is not clear how determined he was about seeing them through, though he did tell Mr. McCabe that he might be able to persuade Attorney General Jeff Sessions and John F. Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security and now the White House chief of staff, to mount an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Mr. Rosenstein then raised the idea of wearing a recording device or "wire," as he put it, to secretly tape the president when he visited the White House. One participant asked whether Mr. Rosenstein was serious, and he replied animatedly that he was.
