Just close the borders as soon as they've left.

Watch all the counties play musical chairs ("We don't want him. YOU take him!&quot

Much hilarity will ensue.

P.S. We want the plane back.

A Special Prosecutor is going to be named post haste. The justice department has been compromised.

Did they really think they would get away with it? Yes, Trump thought that he could just act like a dictator after the election and kill any and all investigations.

Who else thinks that Comey and others have already built many cases. A new bombshell comes out every day now.

I can't even imagine what kind of decision-making this kind of turmoil is going to engender. I got 5-1 that one of them will panic so completely, he'll end up putting his dick in a blender.

he would not have fired him. He had to know that would make the memos surface.

I'm thinking Trump didn't know about the memos by Comey. He wouldn't have made the "hope there are no "tapes" of the dinner" tweet or whatever.

If Trump didn't know, then Sessions didn't know. They're bffs with no ethics. Sessions would have told Trump immediately.

you are ascribing too much knowledge, intelligence, awareness and brainpower
to those two. They don't worry about details, they write their own rules.

wanted him to be FBI Director

Comey's sense of timing on this is remarkable. He just keeps collecting
information and filing it away for later use. That's his job, but to emerge
with all the data at a point where the culprits are most vulnerable ...
I imaging difficult to do.

Trump probably thought he was intimidating Comey. Actually, Comey was interviewing a suspect.

But damn, it's hard to get riled up and actually think, Trump will get ousted. Especially when McConnel calls it "drama." I keep coming to a point in my head, Trump can share secrets to the Russians, and that's drama? Wtf? I'm literally bewildered, where is America first? Fucking hypocrites. I also find it very humorous, that he can sellout state intel, but can't release his tax returns because he's under "audit."

Republicans don't care about anything else, country be damned. And it goes from top to bottom. My local State Senate critter is being investigated for pilfering from his campaign funds for personal use and not reporting PAC donations. It couldn't happen to a slimier son of a bitch, but he's from here in BF freaking Egypt! Their party is rotten to the core.
