Pastor Andrew Brunson, a fine gentleman and Christian leader in the United States, is on trial and being persecuted in Turkey for no reason. They call him a Spy, but I am more a Spy than he is. Hopefully he will be allowed to come home to his beautiful family where he belongs!

Pastor Andrew Brunson, who has been living in Turkey for the past twenty-three years, was arrested in October 2016. He was applying for permanent residency at the time of his arrest. This NBC News story has more information on both Pastor Brunson and his current Espionage trial.
“But I’m more a Spy than he is” has been making the rounds on twitter.
A couple of humorous takes:

Moving on. This morning Tweets with President Trump.
Mike Pompeo met with Kim Jong Un in North Korea last week. Meeting went very smoothly and a good relationship was formed. Details of Summit are being worked out now. Denuclearization will be a great thing for World, but also for North Korea!

According to CNN News:
The White House declined to comment on Pompeo’s visit, which took place around April 1 and was first reported by The Washington Post. The Post reported that Pompeo went as Trump’s envoy to lay the groundwork for direct talks between Trump and Kim about North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.
It appears the White House, via President Trump Tweets, has now confirmed the Secret Meeting.
Slippery James Comey, the worst FBI Director in history, was not fired because of the phony Russia investigation where, by the way, there was NO COLLUSION (except by the Dems)!
