It’s probably worth taking just a moment to reflect on the fact that she was fired for refusing to legally defend something that proved to be legally indefensible.
I’m not sorry her tenure ended when or why it did. What greater honor than to be fired by Donald Trump over what he thinks are principles? For that matter, what greater reward than to not have to work for Donald Trump anymore? Just saying, though.
Maybe she and the Notorious RBG could be housemates in a heavily fortified residence…
We weren’t trying to prevent her from testifying, just prevent her from saying what she wanted to, and say what we wanted her to say instead.
Totally different.
(rolls eyes)
I don’t. I think they are going to scapegoat Flynn and cut bait on the rest.
I can see what you mean, but if they aren’t going to actually do a serious investigation, what does it matter? And Trump and his lying team will say, “look they haven’t found anything and they are grasping at thin air!”
After 2016, I don’t have trust in the American public to do the right thing at the ballot box in 2018 or 2020.
All Trump has to do is ride the steady growth Obama economy, bomb some countries, and act like a normal human being here and there and the press will eat it up and feed it to public as though he is JFK or FDR.
IC won’t permit it. They’ll continue to leak until there is an independent investigator. Bet on it.
Agreed that it is maddeningly slow—I would have preferred if one of President* 45’s accomplishments in his first 100 days was to land his lard ass in jail. But that said, selfishly, May 8th is fine with me. I’ll be on a coast-to-coast flight on an airplane with TV feed all day that day, so I can listen to the whole thing.
It’s like the GOP is doing its damndest to go slow enough to give people the chance to destroy evidence creatively and get their stories together while going just fast enough to block appointment of an independent commission or special prosecutor.
I think that “part of you” will be happy. I understand everyone getting antsy and impatient, but even if this thing ends in impeachment or some other removal of trump from office (forgive the pettiness; when he earns a capitalization, I’ll give it to him) will take YEARS. The system just isn’t set up for fast action on something like this.
Geez, I can hardly wait. I hope she helps bury the orange azs hole. And maybe get a little payback too.
Well of course the GOP is going to drag this out and try and deflect away from the massive elephant in the room. I can hardly wait.
I should add that there is a benefit in this slowness; it gives us time to get Spiro out of there first…
