I'd be surprised if McConnell would let that happen.

May not....MAY not.....be up to him. I'm not sure. this all is crazy. I was 4 when Nixon resigned.....is this actually about to happen twice in my lifetime? what does Trump think he's going to do...fie his way out of being investigated? 

Oh damn, what a BURN

 

 

Bill Clinton was the last (perhaps only?) POTUS to fire an FBI Director and in that case there was a serious issue of malfeasance by the ousted director.

 

 

Oh my.

 

Comey learned he was fired while addressing FBI employees in LA. TVs in the background began flashing the news. https://t.co/Y3MaMEToFa

Joe Scarborough can just be hilarious sometimes:

 

 

Senate Republicans, you will be judged forever by how you check this abuse of power by a lifelong Democrat who took over your party. https://t.co/pD00zSuXzv

Oh my God - they've brought Kellyanne out of deep freeze! She is apparently a mess.

!!! Comey thought it was a prank and laughed when news of his firing flashed on the TV https://t.co/QPtJkpPx3P pic.twitter.com/vc7tSfn8vw

What kind of CEO allows his own employee's to investigate him?   Can this administration get any more insane?

Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas to associates of Mike Flynn, CNN's @ShimonPro is reporting https://t.co/LoPHuJMaXv

I really, really, really, really can't stand Joe Scarborough. 

Cascadia (i.e. mainly blue states that secede from the US to form their own nation) looks like a wonderful idea to me right about now!

Nah. Calexit is a Russian scheme.

 

I can't:

 

 

On CNN, @KellyannePolls says she can name many people around Trump who are not currently under investigation for colluding with Russia

The entire West Wing communications shop is still fully staffed, trying to regain footing after being caught off guard by fallout from Comey

Source w knowledge of wh discussions tells me senior officials did not think firing james comey would be a big political explosion.

— Dana Bash (@DanaBashCNN) May 9, 2017

The sad thing is I can actually believe that. 

 

I have no idea who is in charge at this point. 

Proof that the WH staffers are as dumb as Trump himself. How could they NOT foresee the explosion?

The closest person to Trump's ear at any given moment.

 

The question is if this was someone's boneheaded idea (I doubt even Jeff Sessions wants to be stuck selling this) or if Trump did it himself as a wild defensive swing.

 

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Bush and the neocons were one thing. They were craven but slick and experienced. This utter incompetence and inexperience will break Trump and his administration. Soon.

How I wish this were so, but this administration is oily and manages to slip out of almost every skirmish thus far.
