If he tries I suspect he’ll lose in court.

Remember too that there were A LOT of questions that Comey couldn’t answer in open session. Depending on what he’s saying behind closed doors, could be that’s where all the bombshells are landing.

Removing a president as bad as Trump is a good in and of itself. If that doesn’t fix everything, it’s at least a step in the right direction.

Yeah, if I wanted earnest I’d go read Vox or something like that.

But since this administration rejects the very notion of legal precedent, I expect them to push that line anyway.

“Pepsodent Trunk was just enjoying a carton of malk when he asked Dissenter Comma not to invertebrate Generous Fink.”

Every political story on Foxtrot Alpha always has the following comment exchange:

He didn’t say NYT lied, he said they were wrong. Could be a source lied to them. Could be they misunderstood a source. Could be their source was lied to in an attempt to flush out leakers within the White House.

The use of “privileged” appears to be an attempt to lay groundwork for a legal theory that all private conversations with the president are automatically off the record or unsuitable for dissemination. I’ll let the actual lawyers speculate as the whether that’s an approach that’s likely to bear fruit ...

I half expected him to declare Trump the most uninvestigated president of all time.

If Trump was walking along, and his wallet fell out of his pocket:

Well, he kinda did. I think Comey said something to the effect of, “I was curious about it, but it wasn’t really relevant to the conversation at the time so I let it pass.”

Oh, no doubt, The Slot is as excellent as ever and was already picking up the slack during Gawker’s decline. I would just like to see Fusion specifically shoulder more of the burden.

In Gawker’s heyday we would’ve had 6 different stories already posted about the Comey hearing by now. One would be facetious and two would be tongue-in-cheek, but still.

I mean, if you’re playing FMK with Cotton, McCain and Comey, you fuck Comey, then ask if you can marry Comey, then kill yourself.

I can’t tell from your reply if we’re arguing or agreeing.

Our standards are being destroyed by seeing too many photos of Trump and Bannon and Conway. “Hotness” as a standard is intrinsically ruined. The bar hasn’t just been lowered, it’s currently melting somewhere within the Earth’s core.

She’s still off somewhere trying to think of the name of a single periodical and explaining why resigning as governor showed true leadership.

What he was trying to say was that the FBI should never close any investigation because they’re all part of one vast conspiracy that ties together and points to one culprit: Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton. That’s right, they’re the same person! It all fits if you just ignore the evidence and follow your black, evil…

Really? I can’t bring myself to actually look at his Twitter feed.
