The last four months have been so surreal I still can't believe that this man was ever allowed to become president.

If this isn't Obstruction of Justice, nothing is.

Comey, as a private citizen, can testify as to the veracity of these memos.

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.)

Trump told Comey he should put reporters in prison for reporting on leaks
https://twitter.com/reidepstein/status/864595604961460225


WH - in statement on background says "the President has never asked Mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation,"
https://twitter.com/BretBaier/status/864595705301749760

Burr says the "burden is on the New York Times" to produce the memos, not on Comey. Says there may be an effort to undermine the president.

And watch as in 2019 it becomes a non-story because the public has the memory of a goldfish.

Not soon enough. But when he does, the first two questions they will ask him are:
1. Did you ever tell Trump that he was not the subject of the Russia investigation?
2. Did Trump ask you to end the Flynn investigation?
