Looks like a cover up, walks like a cover up, quacks like a cover up. It is a cover up.

No fucking doubt that this is a cover up. No fucking doubt.

It’s a Saturday Night Massacre happening on a Tuesday. It will lead to trumpp’s downfall and more slowly than we’d like.

I hope you’re right, but not about the “slowly” part.

I got the call on the Comey firing while out to dinner so I’m here playing catch up.
Who is selling the pitchforks? Let’s roll!

I’m not so sure about that.

Have the Russian tanks been airlifted to Andrews AFB yet? Seems like that’s what’s next.

“…could be part of a cover up”…

Ya think?

Even before hearing the news that the White House decided to fire Comey a week ago, I had to ask myself: as the FBI investigations get closer to Mr Trump’s many apparent ties with shady Russian-linked money, they were probably looking for an excuse to fire Comey. His last round of missteps on the Clinton e-mail investigation provided that excuse – an exquisitely ironic excuse, given who’s doing the firing, too.

The Saturday Night Massacre does come to mind, though of course Mr Sessions does not have 1/1000 of the integrity of Elliot Richardson or William Ruckelshaus. The situation is not as advanced, perhaps, but it is moving rather faster.

FBI Director James Comey’s sudden termination was “part of a cover up.”

Shout this day and night.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Not comparable to the Saturday Night Massacre or not moving slowly (or at all for that matter)? trumpp is as disliked more than Nixon was, and there must be continuous pressure put on the Rs by Democrats. The only people who might not care what happens are trumpp supporters.

In the past year, Comey has rankled Democrats and Republicans alike as he tried to navigate the politically fraught investigations of Clinton and Trump. Just last week, Clinton suggested that Comey’s Oct. 28 announcement that the FBI had received new evidence about her email server was a factor in her defeat 11 days later.

This nation deserves to get to the bottom of the Trump-Russia investigation. It would be simply absurd to count on a new FBI director appointed by Trump — no matter who he or she is — to pursue the truth, no matter where it leads.

This investigation needed an independent prosecutor even before this latest Trump move. It is now imperative.

It took a little while to get these old farts going, but it finally seems we’re headed in the right direction.

And it’ll probably be a huge mistake because now people will just get louder. This is the scene in the mob movie where the protagonist is making mistakes and just making things worse because he’s in too deep.

I’ll add that 2018 was supposed to be Mitch McConnell’s triumph, but now Donnie’s gone and fucked that all to hell. AND he’s got that loathsome health care bill in his court.

Turtles can’t wield knives, but their bites are mighty nasty.

Let us hope that he still has his teeth.

Of course it’s a cover-up. Thank you for saying it. Now make it front and center every day.

Also, I really loved this aside:

“I told him, ‘Mr. President, with all due respect, you are making a big, big mistake,’” Schumer said. “He didn’t really answer.”

I can’t help but imagine the orange one sniffing loudly in response and waxing poetic about his inaugural crowd size.
