Eruption: Guatemala’s Fuego volcano suddenly and violently erupted yesterday spewing clouds of ash and rivers of lava, killing at least two-dozen people and injuring hundreds. Video shows the devastation of surrounding villages as people ran for their lives. Some died inside homes that were hit with lava.

Fuego is one of Latin America’s most active volcanos. A mix of red-hot rock and gas, known as pyroclastic flow, flowed down the mountain, over running villages. Unlike slow-moving lava, pyroclastic flow can move extremely fast.

If the President Does It: President Trump could have shot the FBI director in the Oval Office and not be indicted for murder, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani told the Huffington Post.

Giuliani said the President’s powers are so ironclad that “In no case can he be subpoenaed or indicted. I don’t know how you can indict while he’s in office. No matter what it is.”

He said, “If he shot James Comey, he’d be impeached the next day. Impeach him, and then you can do whatever you want to do to him.”

The President’s lawyers are trying to undermine the legitimacy of the Special Counsel’s Russia investigation and at the same time argue that if  he committed a crime the law can’t do anything about it.

Norm Eisen, a former ethics lawyer under President Obama, told HuffPo, “The foundation of America is that no person is above the law. A president can under extreme circumstances be indicted, but we’re facing extreme circumstances.”

Giuliani also posited that if he’s in a real jam, Trump might even have the power to grant himself a pardon but, “Pardoning himself would be unthinkable and probably lead to immediate impeachment.”

The President, who spent part of his wifeless weekend at Camp David complaining via Twitter, whined that his campaign should have been told about the FBI investigation. He wrote, “Paul Manafort came into the campaign very late and was with us for a short period of time (he represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole & many others over the years), but we should have been told that Comey and the boys were doing a number on him, and he wouldn’t have been hired!”

Stay at Home First Lady: Melania Trump will not accompany her husband to the G-7 meeting in Quebec this week or the planned summit with North Korea to be held in Singapore, her office announced. She hasn’t been seen in public in more than three weeks. Her office says she’s fine.

Hermit Kingdom: Three of North Korea’s top military leaders have been sacked in the runup to the planned summit with President Trump. Korea-watchers surmise that leader Kim Jong-un is eliminating dissent in the ranks of his leadership. Kim is not shy about firing or even killing people who get in his way.

Speed Kills: The two rock climbers who fell to their deaths from Yosemite’s El Capitan were roped together and climbing with a technique called simul-climbing used for a faster ascent, witnesses and park authorities said.

In simul-climbing both climbers move at the same time, which is inherently riskier.

Jason Wells, 46, of Boulder, Colo., and Tim Klein, 42, of Palmdale, Calif. were considered among the elite of rock climbers. They were on a route called Free Blast. A third man who was with them was not roped to them when they fell.

Nation: Three people trapped by lava flows from Hawaii’s Mt. Kilauea were airlifted to safety yesterday as the relentless magma continues to alter the landscape. A flow 300 yards wide severed a highway and lava vaporized a fresh water lake, boiling it away.

Comic Relief: Comedian Jimmy Fallon was the surprise speaker at the graduation for seniors at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida where four seniors killed in the Feb. 14th massacre were granted posthumous diplomas.

Kimmel tried provided some humor for the occasion, but he said, “You took something horrific and instead of letting it stop you — you started a movement. Not just here in Florida, not just in America, but throughout the whole world. The whole world has heard your voice, and that was you making a choice.”

Hoop Dreams: The Golden State Warriors won game two of the NBA finals, beating Cleveland 122-103. Golden State’s Steph Curry hit 9 three-pointers.

Company Car: The pace car crashed into the wall yesterday during the opening lap of the Detroit Grand Prix, but that’s not the worst of it. The car was a Corvette ZR1 that costs about $120,000 before dealer preparation, title, and taxes.

Oh, it gets worse. The car spun out hitting the inside wall and doing a 360 so it smashed up both ends of the electric blue ‘Vette. The airbags deployed. That’s expensive, too.

Oh, but wait. The driver was Mark Reuss, General Motors’ vice president of global product development, who crashed in GM’s home town right beneath a banner promoting Chevrolet cars.

If you’re in the market for a ZR1 anytime soon, ask to see the Carfax.
