    My staff and I are reviewing legislation to establish an independent commission on Russia. The second paragraph of this letter is bizarre. https://twitter.com/cnn/status/862082478839914497

    McCain called for a special "congressional" committee which is another animal

    This is not necessarily about Russian connections. They could have found a private email server in the basement of Trump Tower

    When Trump was caught confessing to routine sexual assault it was the last straw for many Republicans for about five to ten days.

    Firing the head of a department that is investigating you

    Keep purging anyone that dare follows a paper trail like the dictator he wants to be

    I would love to see the multiverse version where Hillary won the election and then fired the head guy who was investigating her

    And then compare it to what is being said right now

    Glad Comey is gone. He can shove intent up his honorable ass. Hillary should have gone on trial like all of us would have. If she was innocent then let a jury of her peers declare that. Final straw with Comey to me was him claiming he can't talk about a DNC email where a DNC staffer expressed confidence Loretta Lynch would stop any charges from being filed against Hillary because he said it was classified. How the **** would that be classified.

    what a mental case

    If you were shocked by the news that President Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey, you were in good company — so was James Comey, everyone at the FBI, most members of Congress, and apparently almost everyone in the White House. Trump and his top advisers who did know, Politico reports, were mostly surprised that not everyone thought firing Comey was a great idea. "White House officials believed it would be a 'win-win' because Republicans and Democrats alike have problems with the FBI director," Politico says, citing a person briefed on their deliberations. "By Tuesday evening, the president was watching the coverage of his decision and frustrated no one was on TV defending him. ... Instead, advisers were attacking each other for not realizing the gravity of the situation as events blew up."

    In fact, Trump had been planning to oust Comey for at least a week, The New York Times and CNN report, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions had been charged with finding a good pretext. The president was increasingly incensed at the FBI's investigation into his orbit's ties to Russia during the election, Politico and The Wall Street Journal report. With understaffed investigations languishing in Congress, the FBI's investigation was the most active and serious.

    Trump specifically "grew unhappy that the media spotlight kept shining on the director," and "questioned whether his expanding media profile was warping his view of the Russia investigation," White House officials tell The Wall Street Journal. "A person with knowledge of recent conversations said they wanted Mr. Comey to 'say those three little words: There's no ties,'" and he did not. Trump was also angry that Comey "wouldn't support his claims that President Barack Obama had tapped his phones in Trump Tower" and refused to prioritize inquiries into the leaking of information that made Trump look bad, Politico reports, but the main irritant was Russia:

    [Trump] had grown enraged by the Russia investigation, two advisers said, frustrated by his inability to control the mushrooming narrative around Russia. He repeatedly asked aides why the Russia investigation wouldn't disappear and demanded they speak out for him. He would sometimes scream at television clips about the probe, one adviser said.

    This is key. One of most vulnerable House Rs -- Barbara Comstock -- calls for independent probe:

    To recap, Trump has now fired both FBI director investigating him and US Attorney with jurisdiction over his NY-based activities

    Why should Hillary have gone on trial? What evidence was there that she should have gone on trial? Even more importantly, all Comey could do is recommend a prosecutor prosecute her, if the prosecutor doesn't think there is a case he can't do anything. He did largely bungle the Hillary emails thing, but I can understand why he did what he did. Basically it was his way of grandstanding and if he believes so heavily in the importance of security that he'd risk his job over it, there's something noble of sorts about it.

    The evidence was the classified documents on her private email server and on Anthony Weiners laptop. If Comey recommended prosecution then the DoJ would have had to prosecute because the AG Loretta Lynch said she was going to go by Comey's recommendation. Backing out of that would have caused a ****storm.



    I fully believe if I was a state department employee and had classified documents on my private email server I would be prosecuted.
