On Bloomberg this morning, they reported that the republicans have been preparing

and planning a whole strategy against Comey tomorrow. They will be arguing justification for Comey's firing by saying "Comey dropped the ball on the email investigation, and framing it in such a way to imply that "Comey let Hillary off the hook, when she was actually guilty of a serious crime." They will also try to throw negative dispersions on President Obama to suggest wrong doing in President Obama's administration, including "illegal" wire taps.

The republican party is a completely compromised party, and the Democrats better be prepared for it tomorrow, because it isn't going to be pretty. The republicans are going to lie and distort everything. Democrats better be willing to call them out on their lies. This is NOT business as usual.

but, for better or worse, this is really on the MSM. This is their opportunity to atone for their complicity in getting Twitler elected in the first place. I hope they are up for it but I'm not holding my breath.

most probably, when the republican "leaders" of the investigation dined in regal splendor with their republican Draft Dodger-in-Chief on Tuesday evening. The republicans supped in gourmet luxury at taxpayer expense with Comrade Donnie 'Two Scoops' at The White House.

Undoubtedly the republicans smacked their flabby lips, as they relished heaps of exquisite russian caviar to help them go ALL FISHY-FOGGY at the hearings this week.

How dainty & delightful for them to share a taxpayer-funded luxurious gourmet meal with the very Casino Sharpie that they are supposed to be overseeing and investigating for TREASON against these United States of America. Cozy. Corrupt up the wazoo.

attention from their own crimes.

What is it with conservative white men that this is always their M.O.?
