John Kasich is probably thinking he has a chance in the primary in 3 years.

He has a town hall on CNN with Bernie Sanders in about 2 hours, I'm sure they'll ask about this.

POLITICO: It's very rich in detail and hopefully it will come out soon,” the friend of Comey, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told POLITICO. "There are other memos about his meetings too. He wrote down every word Trump said to him as soon as he could."

Well guess we're not done…

I guess these leaks are coming from Comey and not from the White House. Other leaks though

If there's anything politicians are good at, it's creative accounting.

We're August 2008-era Lehman Brothers.

Don't expect a bailout.

Well, if this is true, then this is pretty bad.  Let's hear from Comey in Congress.  He's certainly more able to discuss the ongoing investigation now.

I imagine his constituents are very supportive of this action.

I attempted to ask @SpeakerRyan about the New York Times story in the Capitol. He tapped me on the arm and said hi, and kept walking.

Just for the record, Trump is also currently trending in Moscow according to that map.

He'll stay in office as long as the GOP holds the Senate, which is at least through the end of his term. I don't think anything short of a military coup could force him out early at this point (and that's a route I'd rather the country not head down.)

I understand that impeachment would not be simple for the GOP, and would have real political costs.

But I would hope that at some point they would realize the President who has personally shot the party in both feet, the gut, and several other bits of anatomy is too expensive to keep around, even with a high cost for ridding themselves of him.

But it might be that they're waiting for his popularity with the "base" to collapse first, which could be never.
