I bet he's really regretting that letter now.

This whole thing is so bizarre.  How can anybody with a brain doubt Trump's guilt now?

Well, while Elizabeth Warren was on MSNBC passionately urging her colleagues both blue and red that we must all agree that an independent counsel is necessary because of how suspicious this looks and even if he's innocent to avoid a black cloud over this White House in general (wink), Brit Hume was on Fox News putting the ol' Fox News spin on it (wink wink).  We'll see?

An independent counsel is such a good idea. Just to clear all this bullshit up one way or another. Even if it comes up totally clean, like Roundy said, I would love for this black cloud to go away.

I didn't think he could fire the FBI director.  And such a shitty way to do it.


Trump is the worst manager ever.  How has his company survived?!
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Quoting a random person from my social media circles:

Quote
Comey did literally almost everything an FBI director could do to get himself fired. He was disliked and mistrusted by both parties. But still. Wow.

Frankly, I don't disagree. There were plenty of reasons to fire Comey. Now, I strongly doubt he's been fired because he fucked Hillary over in the election, for example, but technically that possibility is equally likely. I'm still a fan of "innocent until proven guilty".

So am I. That's why I'm anxious to see how the Republicans in Congress proceed. There can really be no justice unless an independent investigation is conducted.

But really, equally likely? Lol. I don't find it plausible that he fired Comey over the very thing he was thanking him profusely for just a few months ago. I know you like to be contrary and see how far you can take it but that's just a silly thing to say. Obviously there's more to it and that he used it as his reason strongly suggests the real reason is something he doesn't want us to know.

Agreed.

I agree that it's not very plausible from an intuitive point of view, but we have no strong evidence to support either theory. From that perspective, both are equally likely.

It's weird how life balances out sometimes.  The Democrats look like they're on the path to disaster, and now something happens that could legitimately kill the Republicans in the midterm elections.  I mean, we can hope.  Surely some Republicans are outraged by how their representatives in Congress are handling this.

This isn't just going away.

So either...
A) Trump is bluffing.
B) Trump is blackmailing/threatening.

Well... this is a wonderful president we have, isn't it?

I don't believe there are any recordings. This is purely for the benefit of his image with his followers. Right now their slavish support is all he really has.

I can't even begin to imagine how future historians will describe this period of history. In fact, I wouldn't put it past future conspiracy theorists to dismiss Trump's election and presidency as some weird kind of historical hoax.
