BOOM!

The NYT gets the big scoop today.

Keep it coming, everyone.!!

Edit. I was just watching Chuck Todd listening to Jim Jordan blathering on about Hillary’s emails, and Todd had this weird smirk on his face. I thought, “He knows something.”
Could it have been this? hahahahaha

Impeach the motherfucker now.

From the NYT article:

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence an ongoing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.

Mr. Comey shared the existence of the memo with senior F.B.I. officials and close associates. The New York Times has not viewed a copy of the memo, which is unclassified, but one of Mr. Comey’s associates read parts of the memo to a Times reporter.

Chuck Todd, to his credit, prefaced his reading of the WH press office response with take this for what is worth, WH has a big credibility gap.

The brazenness with which this man incriminates himself never ceases to put me in a fit of giggles.

I mean, I’m terrified it won’t matter, but you just have to shake your head and laugh. Look at this motherfucker!

“Puncture wounds”

@geofu54

Now would be a good time to find out if he still feels that Flynn should be the Natsec advisor

Trump: Yawn…
GOP: No biggie. This shows leadership by CEO of Amerika
FOX: Trump is the most powerful leader of the world and he deserves to stop any investigation.

I could say I’m shocked, but then I’d be lying,

Was this a bribe/threat…he’s was tampering with an investigation isn’t that against the law.

Meanwhile… remember when the GOP was celebrating their yuuuge, classy legislative accomplishment of getting a bill through one house of one branch of government?

Open gun, insert foot. I guess they’ll get back to legislating eventually, no matter what happens with 45 (46? 47?), but I have no idea how long that’s going to take or what that pathway back to function will look like.

  1. Trump

And of course there is already a denial from the White House. Will we ever learn that this man only tells the truth as he sees it? What will it take to draw up articles of impeachment already? Actually shooting someone on Fifth Avenue??
