It's telling that the prez hasn't tweeted anything about it.

[Thomas Jackson]

It's sad at how short the selective memory of the leftist posters are here.

Flynn was cleared by the FBI in JANUARY.

Why would Trump confront him in February?

[Bacon King]

I'm about ready for the 25th to be invoked.

Do you think you have half of the Cabinet, plus two thirds of both houses of Congress?

I don't think they're in 25th territory. Remember which cabinet this is.

Tillerson
Mnuchin
Mattis
Sessions
Zinke
Perdue
Ross
Acosta
Price
Carson
Chao
Perry
DeVos
Shulkin
Kelly


Find a group of half of those who would be willing to cross Trump on this.

don't forget Trump can fire any member of the Cabinet at will!

Yes. He could literally fire everyone in the Cabinet except archloyalist Sessions (who is implicated in the current scandal himself), and say that Sessions is the entirety of the Cabinet and is opposed to invoking the 25th.

That would be completely legal and aboveboard.

Ever wonder how far the radicalization of the GOP base will continue?

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

Is Faux Noise still deflecting and going on about Hillary's emails? Lol

[catographer]

If this is in Trump's first term, (assuming he gets a second one) what could his 'second term curse' possibly be?

Are you serious ?
Fox "News" has serious problems.
And then they cry when the leftist media attacks them.
No wonder !

PS: But are they also covering this story, or just ignoring it altogether ?

It's a bad time for America.

Democrats should not be giddy, Hillary Clinton had tons of baggage and a Hillary Clinton presidency would have been slow of legislative accomplishments as well.

America is facing it's consequences.

Hillary Clinton is completely irrelevant to whether Trump told Comey to stop investigating Flynn.

the evening nightmare of propaganda is only handling this through "banners" which are not directly part of the shows themselves.

the debunked DNC murder story is for example hannity's lead right now.

Wow.
It would have been great to get that on video (tape).

Talking about Clinton is all they have at this point.

Unbelievable !
Why would anyone watch this channel for "news" ?
We have a major national story, and instead, Fox plays like an ostrich (put your head in the sand and ignore everything around you).
There you go ..... instead of "Fox" News, they need to change their official name to "Ostrich News."

[Hindsight was 2020]

True story Hannity in the late 90's early 2000's went to the same parish as me...........complete douche

[KingSweden]

Watching Fox News compare the  Comey Memo to "Mean Girls" in defense of Trump is making me go:

Fox should stop trying to make fetch happen.

It's not gonna happen.

Not that well but I never got over when he ripped on our pastor on his talk show because he didn't like the Passion movie
