BREAKING: Trump Fires Comey

[Confused Democrat]

This came out of nowhere and looks highly suspicious.

[Confused Democrat]

The Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General are the ones who recommended Comey's termination.

This is crazy. There has to be an independent investigation now.

The White House statement:

Does anyone have the attached letter from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein? I heard excerpts from it on MSNBC and it's jaw dropping.

[Confused Democrat]

So.....all the bitching in earlier months that comey needs to be fired is out the window because the guy you hate ended up doing it?

Pure hypocrisy.

If you're going to fire him, you fire him at the beginning of your administration not in the heat of an FBI investigation into your campaign.

Crazy...

This is unravelling fast, but I have a gut feeling that this is all going to lead to nothing.

So today the President undermined the White House's rationale for firing Comey and then admitted he asked Comey if he was under investigation. Then he qualified if he was not under personal investigation, meaning the campaign is definitely under investigation. The White House today claimed countless FBI agents thanked them for firing Comey, which was refuted by the acting FBI Director.

Meanwhile the Washington Post confirmed that 30 sources say Trump fired Comey in relation to the Russian investigation while the Wall Street Journal says Comey was seeing evidence of collusion.

Then we learn the FBI raided a Republican digital firm in Annapolis which is connected to national GOP candidates.

Did I leave out anything?

The secret videotape of Paul Ryan accepting laundered money from Kislyak at the GOP convention.

Not confirmed beyond Mensch so taking that with a grain of salt.

In any other Administration we would be talking impeachment tomorrow.

I'm sure we would be talking impeachment if Democrats had control of least one chamber of Congress. Democrats not taking control of the Senate in 2016 was probably the most consequential thing to come out of the 2016 election.

I think losing the presidency was probably a good thing for the Democratic party in the long term, but not taking control of the Senate was a devastating blow to Democrats.

[Confused Democrat]

Donald Trump himself has said that he hopes the Russia/Election campaign continues and indeed is expanded. All those opponents of his jumping up and demanding this investigation should continue and be expanded should be careful what they wish for. It might end up somewhere they don't expect.

Nixon said the same thing about Watergate.

This reeks of BS, but I thought it was worth sharing just in case.

Treat scoops from Louise Mensch with extreme skepticism

It's not Mensch who gives me hope that this is true, it's Taylor.
