You're senile, Tom Brokaw, this is just as bad as the Saturday Night Massacre.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Take a nap.

[aquamarina]

1. He's such a blowhard

Take a breath, my ass.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Age has robbed him of his greatest asset. He had such a great voice.

[aquamarina]

4. Yeah, a long time ago

but for the past 10-15 years he always seems to be deferring to a Repuke position. His bias is obvious.

[pangaia]

2. It is much worse..

There is much greater threat to Democracy.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. "Take a nap"

(I think he was sleepwalking through that)

[chillfactor]

6. I must be taking a nap myself...

I thought Brokaw had good things to say.

[yallerdawg]

7. You all think Comey was going to nail Trump?

Comey gave Trump the election!

He talked shit about Hillary for a year now - and tells us he can't say a word about Trump!

Tom Brokaw nailed it - Comey is a very, very bad man. We got some justice tonight!

And if you all will read Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein's memo, you will see is citing EXACTLY what WE have been saying for a year now!

Sessions signed off on the memo, Trump signed off on Session's letter - and that sick shit Comey is outed as the piece of shit he is!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. Why didn't he ask for Comey's resignation during the transition?

[yallerdawg]

12. Deputy AG Rosenstein - who just got confirmed -

had to see a letter from the FBI go out correcting "misstatements" the FBI Director Comey made under oath - about emails and Huma Abedin!

At some point, reasonable people have to acknowledge this clown Comey has no credibility!

If he came out and said, "No evidence of Trump collusion - case closed," who the hell would believe him?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. So Trump fired Comey because he was unfair to the woman he called "Crooked Hillary" ?

That strains credulity.

[yallerdawg]

17. Trump fired Comey because Sessions recommended it.

Sessions recommended firing Comey because Deputy AG Rosenstein laid out a compelling case - almost irreversible damage to the credibility and standing of the FBI as a public institution.

We have been pointing that out for a year!

It doesn't change for me because Trump obliviously fell into it! Which seems to happen a lot!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. "Trump fired Comey because Sessions recommended it..." -yallerdawg

Just think about what you wrote

[rusty fender]

25. That assumes

that the Trump administration actually wanted to do something that would benefit a governmental institution.

[Tatiana]

29. Trump fired Comey because the FBI is pretty close to gathering the evidence needed for prosecution.

He used Rosenstein's personal opinion (along with the opinions of other AGs) as an excuse for the firing because he couldn't find a legitimate one of his own.

[bettyellen]

31. No hes hiding behind Sessions but it was his idea because Russia ....

He did not like the direction Comey was going in and he thinks he can get someone who will close the investigation.

[Hoyt]

11. +1. Christ, we've wanted Comey fired since at least first investigation of Clinton. It's not like

Comey is the one, or only one, who can bring Trump down.

[yallerdawg]

14. I want to celebrate the removal of the Comey blight on humanity!

But - "our team" can't celebrate anything "the other team" does.

It's all bad, bad, bad! and the world is about to end!

Hey, it works for Republicans! I guess we stole their playbook!

15. Perhaps you think tRumps nominee McCONnell already said he will rubberstamp will be better? :eyes:

One can believe that James Comey acted improperly in the past and that Donald Trump fired him because he is investigating him and getting close.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Absolutely. But I dont see his replacement being more effective/eager to find core of #TrumpRussia.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. We are at the tender mercies of the GOP. Are there enough of them to do the right thing?

Reminds me of the Biblical story of God promising not to destroy Sodom if he could find one good man.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. McCONnell (complicit) has issued statement saying he is eager to rubberstamp tRumps nominee

“Once the Senate receives a nomination, we look forward to a full, fair, and timely confirmation process to fill the Director position," McConnell said in a statement.

He added that the FBI director is a "critical role that is especially important as America faces serious threats at home and abroad."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. McCONnell equals Franz von Papen

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. I think McCONnell has few illusions about tRump but is happy to have the tiger by the ears

for a wild ride. He's complicit. Papen was used. I think McCONnell is using tRump as much as tRump is using him.

Franz von Papen (German: [ˈfʁants fɔn ˈpaːpən] ( listen); 29 October 1879 – 2 May 1969) was a German nobleman, General Staff officer and politician. He served as Chancellor of Germany in 1932 and as Vice-Chancellor under Adolf Hitler in 1933–34. He belonged to the group of close advisers to President Paul von Hindenburg in the late Weimar Republic. It was largely Papen, believing that Hitler could be controlled once he was in the government, who persuaded Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as Chancellor in a cabinet not under Nazi Party domination. However, Papen and his allies were quickly marginalized by Hitler and he left the government after the Night of the Long Knives, during which some of his confidantes were killed by the Nazis.

27. McConnell's power lies in his hateful, bigoted swamp of a constituency. He has no allegiance

to human decency.

[Squinch]

26. The point is not whether we like Comey or not. The point is that the president has just fired

the head of the agency that is investigating the president. The president did this fifteen minutes before that agency was to hand down subpoenas that were likely to implicated the President in the worst crime against the American government in our generation.

The point is that the president is acting in a way that indicates he is intending to proceed as if he is not accountable to anyone. In a way that is forbidden for the president to act.

This is a lot bigger than the politics of the moment.

[Hoyt]

28. If that's the case, I agree. Any link to Comey was about to issue subpoenas implicating Trump?

If that's a fact, I'm sure Comey, or someone else, will spill the beans.

[bettyellen]

32. Check CNN

[JI7]

30. exactly, i can't believe people here can't see that

and think trump actually fired him for the reasons trump game. WTF ........

[marybourg]

8. Or worse. The breaking into an office

to steal personal data had no widespread implications. Colluding with Russia to steal an election does.

But - it's not an existential threat to the U.S.. We have many strong institutions. France easily overcame the Russian interference once it was out in the open, and tRump is the product - I'm now convinced - of the last hurrah of the backlash from the huge social changes since the 60's. Time and the actuarial tables will take care of the worst of it.

9. Why do people assume that everyone else is watching whatever they're writing about?

[Foamfollower]

16. It's about a million times worse.
