I usually don’t watch clips with her because I know they’ll make me have a rage stroke but I just watched this one and all I can say is call 911, my head is exploding.

Let’s hope it lasts.

The good news on that is that there seems to be a massive reaction against corrupt government officials and their proxies, down to (and probably especially) local levels in the younger generation.

I hope you’re right. My fear is that the American people are rapidly becoming desensitised to criminal acts in government. Each additional one does not seem to strengthen the last but to weaken it. And Trump is triumphant and amazed at how much he has managed to evade any standard or legality. And continues to do so.

Word on Twitter is grand juries were empaneled and were sending subpoenas and Comey was giving intel through an accerlerated court after Trump told Comey to stop the grand juries or he would be fired. He wasn’t surprised.

No library for Trump. Just a claustrophobic, gilded-to-the-gills media room with wall-to-wall screens playing the greatest hits of Fox News & Friends on a loop.

Wonder how the Trump Presidential Library will cover this affair.

She is just insufferable in every way. I really wonder what the count is for screaming off cam once the interview is over with her. Her little “irrelevant” quip, reality itself does not matter to her.

Everytime April Ryan asks a question?

“Trump’s White House director of social media says he plans to share video of Hillary Clinton’s concession cal”

Mitch McConnell doesn’t dare appoint a woman to the panel, because at this point he’s afraid that even the GOP women will persist when he tries to shut them up.

I guess this is where the rubber really meets the road. What kind of protocols exist to protect ongoing investigations when directors are replaced? What sort of leeway does a new director have to change the direction, emphasis, and allocation of resources regarding an investigation they inherited?

Who wears a pin that says “cut the military now!”

“Shit, got caught with my hand in the cookie jar... er... better smash the cookie jar!”

We’re in dictatorship territory.

We need a special prosecutor, like yesterday. No way the guy who is going to replace Comey will be independent in the Russia investigation.

He absolutely deserved to be fired for what he did to Clinton. But let’s not kid ourselves that he was fired for that reason. He was fired because Trump is afraid that Comey is on to something. This is beyond Watergate levels of corruption. We need a special independent prosecutor to oversee that investigation.

Clintons and Obama? No no, the wall you want to be in is the Trump household... desperately trying to figure out who they can appoint who will drop the Russia connection bit

I have no love lost for James Comey, who I do think impacted the election, and no I don’t think HRC was blameless.

I have no love for Comey but trump firing the head of the FBI while being investigated by the FBI is very troubling. I believe the last president who did this was Nixon so...
