That would have been like President Obama firing Comey and making Harry Reid the FBI chief to investigate Hillary.

[MFM008]

1. Yes

Doi.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. 2018 can't come quickly enough.

[Jarqui]

4. +1

Will the GOP be brazen enough to support it? another rhetorical question.

[mopinko]

3. could only be considered obstruction of justice.

the dude is on the committee, and on record trashing the investigation.

add it to the articles of impeachment if he does.

[Delphinus]

9. And,

from what I understand, the position is supposed to be a-political. Cornyn is certainly not that.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Cornyn said the "Democrats were for firing Comey before they were against it."

Cornyn said the "Democrats were for firing Comey before they were against it ", intentionally ignoring the fact that Democrats oppose the firing now because he is the midst of an active investigation of presidential improprieties, and the president firing him is the target.

5. In spite of the blow back Trump enjoys this.

[Mike Nelson]

6. He will want...

...a "loyal" (to Trump) FBI chief.

7. The idea of Cornyn going down with the Trump ship

isn't necessarily a bad one. I wonder how many Republicans will be damaged goods after Trump implodes.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. That would be brazen.

The prudent move would be to elevate and appoint Andrew McCabe. That means prudent observers can exclude him.

[superpatriotman]

8. This is a rhetorical question, right?

There is no end to his brazenness

[WinkyDink]

10. Is Trump known for his restraint? For his consideration of viewpoints not his own? More corn in the

water?

[GoCubsGo]

12. I'm not sure "brazen" is the word for it.

But, yes. If the mood strikes him, he could appoint Cornyn. Or, someone else who is just as odious.

[janterry]

14. Yes

and it will probably work.

[edhopper]

15. because

he hasn't made any brazenly inept and partisan appointments yet?

[librechik]

16. McConnell won't allow another senator to leave. They need the vote.

But maybe he will--all in the plan to take down US and replace w white supremacist corporate state. Am I wrong?
