no, no, no

there is no narrow, legal, technical question here

the question is entirely political, because there's no doubt plenty of evidence. That evidence will, in some form, be presented to congress, and its Republican 'leadership' will have the chance to affirm whether they are Americans.

President Vladimir Putin says former FBI Director James Comey's acknowledgement that he has given his account of conversations with President Donald Trump to a friend who leaked them to the media is "weird" and ironically offered him asylum in Russia.

Speaking Thursday in live call-in show, Putin compared Comey's move to that of NSA contractor Edward Snowden, adding on a sarcastic note that Russia could grant Comey political asylum.

MASERU, Lesotho (AP) — The estranged wife of Lesotho's prime minister-elect has been shot dead, police said Thursday, raising concerns about further political instability in this tiny southern African kingdom.

Lipolelo Alice Thabane, the 58-year-old wife of Thomas Thabane, was killed Wednesday night by unknown assailants outside her home in the capital, police Senior Superintendent Clifford Molefe told The Associated Press. There have been no arrests and an investigation is in the early stages, Molefe said.

The prime minister is set to be inaugurated Friday after his party won elections earlier this month. The elections were held after Thabane's main rival, Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili, lost a no-confidence vote in parliament in March.

Lesotho has been beset by power struggles and concerns about military interference in politics. The country also has seen a number of high-profile assassinations.

Thabane is a former prime minister who fled Lesotho in 2014 out of concern that soldiers planned to assassinate him. The army has denied the allegation.

The opposition has alleged that the military is sympathetic to Mosisili's Democratic Congress party and its coalition partners and hostile to Thabane's All Basotho Convention party. The military denied any intention to intervene if Mosisili lost this month's election, the Lesotho Times newspaper has reported.
