The 1st time a Nazi regime has scapegoated a Jew with high professional credentials.

Looks like Steve Bannon is once again President in charge after all. What happened to little Jared the legacy Harvard boy with no business being near the White House let alone leading the moves to promote Ivanka’s business and the family Russian real estate ventures.

Trump’s taxes will show his years and years of reliance on Russia for financing and rigging the US election. Donnie is more vulnerable to Russian black mail than traitor Michael Flynn…time for Flynn to go to jail. Lock them up.

Obviously VP Pence is involved in all of this as well…when Flynn starts singing like a little song bird we’ll be impeaching Trump, Pence, and throwing a bunch of his klan in prison.

Treason!

Trump “viewed Mr. Comey as eager to step in front of TV cameras and questioned whether his expanding media profile was warping his view of the Russia investigation,” the Journal reported.


I can’t help but think this firing was as much about stopping the Russia investigation as it was about the fact that PP is a jealous, prima donna who felt the taller, slimmer FBI Director was getting more attention and garnering more media interest than he was.

If these reports are true…that Trump and Sessions did the whole thing, then Trump needs to resign.

Presidents are not allowed to fire FBI Directors because they are investigating the President for TREASON and protecting the homeland!

If this assistant DA has any balls - he will resign and he will start talking to the press so even Trump’s deplorables realize they voted for a Russian traitor who is carrying out Putin’s mission to discredit and destroy the US.

Throw Trump and Pence in jail…and hang 'em high with their boots off!

OT: Assholes. Everything is someone else’s fault. You let them in (while rejecting the US press access), which was wrong in each and every way in the first place.

It isn’t that important whether he screwed himself or not; what is important is how much better he can do under the circumstances than would his probable replacement.

If I understand matters he has a request from ex- director Comey for more resources for the Russian investigation sitting on his desk. He should grant it. After all the public purpose of firing Comey is not to prevent the investigation and Sessions couldn’t stop him. And should be charged with obstruction if he tries. Don’t threaten the latter – just do it.

You may as well drop the bold-faced part… we already have millions and millions of reasons for his resignation before this thing…

If you want a career after this regime, there’s 2 choices left on the table, Rod:

Appoint a special prosecutor or resign.

That’s it. Choose.

A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

I tend to believe he is truly upset over Comey’s many breaches of protocol, because he understands the impact to the agency. The only reason Comey wasn’t fired over his actions last summer and fall is politics.

He was offered the opportunity to vent about that, and just could not resist.

he’s not dominant in those photos. It’s obvious that Lavrov is numero uno in the room. That in particular would infuriate Trump.

Rod Rosenstein is simply lying for PR purposes. The rambling incoherent rant he wrote to provide the cause to fire Comey is a joke, a laughing stock. He is another Trump lackey and brown noser.

However, when Trump, Penice, Kushner and the other moles in the White House Russian cell see this Washington Post article covered on TV, they will arrange to get Rod Rosenstein fired. What Rod Rosenstein did is grotesque. He botched their cover through ineptitude and incompetence.
