Are you serious?! Remember the good old days of Constantine the great when you could get your lackeys to take the fall?

You realize what this means. Sessions and Trump realized the ethical dilemma in firing him and had to give credit to Rosenstein. Which was a lie.

Here is how they are now describing the events. Trump calls a mtg, says he wants to fire Comey, asks AG and Asst AG to put their thoughts into writing. Then pretends it was the Asst AGs comments that were the final piece which prompted him to action.

Looks more and more like Nixon firing Cox.

Well, you need a good impeachment every 30 years or so.

And the Democrats are fine with liars, crooks, and traitors too.

And that is what you reap when you don't deal with sin, you no longer have a standing or a ground to deal with anyone else's sin.

Are you impugning Kenneth Starr, who impeached Clinton?

His credentials were irreproachable.

It is hard to figure out who is not being impugned at this point, going all the way back to the box 13 scandal. With an approval rank of 35% Trump would surely be given a vote of no confidence if this were a Parliamentary system.

Regardless of whether or not he is impeached he clearly has no political clout. Look at the outrage these politicians face in their town halls. They (Republicans) are going to be terrified of having anything to do with Trump. They are on a sinking ship and he is the anchor, they will cut the rope. If you think the first 100 days were ugly you haven't seen anything yet. You can't blame Democrats, the Republicans control both the Senate and the House. Apparently "getting tired of winning" happened much faster than any of us could have imagined.

But that is secondary, this is a matter of national security and that is what is truly scary. If Trump was innocent he would have given Comey everything he needed to put this to bed quickly, instead he has acted to obstruct an investigation.

And it gets even worse. Under oath high ranking FBI officials say that Trump's claim that Comey had lost the confidence of the FBI is false.

Trump's claim that the Asst AG prompted the firing of Comey is false.

Soon we'll find out if Trump's claim that Comey told him he wasn't the focus of an investigation is false.

If the Asst AG did not push for comedy to be fired then it is clearly and undeniably a conflict of interest on Trump's part.

That would make his explanation for firing Comey to include 3 lies and unethical behavior.
