Shit will start squirting out all over the place now

[Achilleaze]

Any of the investigators who really care about America will start leaking full storm. They have to. American democracy is on the chopping block and the Republican thugs are bringing the fascist axe down with brutality on all that is decent and worthwhile about our nation

[Achilleaze]

1. I'm guessing that Comey has a contingency plan in place

He had to know he was dealing with the Republican psychopath. I'm betting there's a back up plan for the investigation to get the results out. There damn well better be.

[jberryhill]

4. I'll bet you he doesn't

I'll bet he believed he's untouchable.

[Thrill]

5. You better believe it. This dude is shocked

But he's probably also filled with revenge right now

[jberryhill]

17. I think he's too professional to feel that.

[Achilleaze]

7. OK, I'm betting my 'made in china' republican flag lapel pin

which only exists in the abstract, since I'd never spend a penny on that republican 'pretend I'm a patriot' horseshit symbolism.

[Tatiana]

15. Yep. Totally agree. He has a ridiculously high opinion of himself.

He's shell-shocked.

This is more karma floating around Washington. Yeah, he carried water for the Republicans and got burned for it.

And we have ANOTHER issue to run on in 2018!

Couldn't happen to a more loathsome person!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I'm assuming this was intended to intimidate others in the FBI

and elsewhere in the IC to stop digging into Russia. But despite how Comey handled the Clinton email matter, he is generally well-respected in that community and a lot of those folk aren't going to like this at all. And I sure hope there are people who have the stones not to back down now.

3. They'll back down as soon as Trump's handpicked successor takes over

…or they'll be out on their asses before they even get that chance. And you can expect the evidence-shredders will be running 24/7...

[Tatiana]

16. I can't stand Comey. But the agents and other personnel seemed to care for him.

Trump just made a huge mistake. This thing is going to be blown wide open now.

[TheBlackAdder]

6. Yep. Trump unleased the floodgates of information, crimes the public would have been hidden from.

[Binkie The Clown]

8. Been hearing this kind of happy talk for over 100 days now. So far, nothing's come of it. n/t

[Achilleaze]

9. Binkie the Clown needs to talk this over with

Stinky the Clown.

I'm just sayin...

[Binkie The Clown]

18. I'll bet DU will still have posts about Trumps immanent impeachment as he's sworn in for a 2nd term

It's a mistake to underestimate the reach of this regime, and it would not surprise me to see him elected for a second term while we all pat each other on the back assuring ourselves that his presidency is doomed, any day now.

10. We NEED a Russia/Trump audio leak NOW.

I do also think that it might suit @GCHQ to allow that tape to be broadcast. There is no relying on @SpeakerRyan - also on tape with Kislyak

11. This is much more a test of congressional gop members than of career FBI agents. I wonder how many

knew of impending firing (probably none)? Wonder how many gop members thought Comey was a problem (not many)? Wonder what the Gang of 8 thinks of this, since they may have more info than most congressional reps? Wonder what other heads of IC departments are thinking? Wonder how many were already thinking an independent investigation should be considered?

This is an earthquake...and there's no explanation coming from the WH...uncharted territory makes a lot of conservatives nervous I bet.

[Skittles]

12. how I wish Comey would start singing

really

13. He'll write a tell-all book. More money in that.

Then he will start doing all the talk shows. Then he will be a contributor on Faux.

In other words he will follow the Sarah Palin career path.
