What did Trump talk about w/Comey? Obstruction stuff.

Can't it be both? Obviously most of us aren't entirely neutral observers here.  Getting to the truth and, if warranted, getting a corrupt and possibly criminal president out of office is job one.  Breaking the far right's stranglehold on our national politics is definitely a potential pleasant byproduct.

(And yeah, for those of us who feel we and our candidate were "done wrong" by the events of the last year or so, there's more than a little schadenfreude in watching this all go down.)

I'm not sure they knew anything for sure.  It think it was more they didn't want anybody hear them even bringing it up.

*shrug* I'm sure the Democrats aren't above using this mess for their own political gain.  But if Trump hadn't given them so much to work with, there wouldn't be any mess to begin with.

The ongoing investigations into Benghazi and her emails played a big part in costing Hillary Clinton the presidency, and the Republicans played that for all it was worth - you bet they stretched it out to make sure it affected the 2016 election.  (Eight investigations?  Really?)  So I'm not really seeing any Republican high horse there.

I totally agree with everything you said. And I've said it before, if Trump goes down it's his own doing. My main hope at this point is to get to the bottom, and move on. If Trump carries on...so be it. If he's ousted, move on to Pence. I wasn't paying much attention to exactly how many investigations there were into Hillary, but that sounds about close to Trump's investigations...I think I saw on Maddow the other day Trump's at 6 or 7? I'm not suggesting it's a tit for tat, just stating what was said on her show.

GOP are just gaslighting to cover their asses.

Who's to say that he didn't report it? It could be part of what is already going on and in motion.

Comey didn't reveal his notes, another staffer read them.

He was rightfully covering his ass. It was smart.

This.

I'm just going to throw up my hands and call it quits if Pence becomes president.  I'm centrist (centre-left) so I actually am not disappointed that Trump flip-flopped on some of his more extreme policies/stances and moved more toward the center.  (That healthcare, though, that's just inexcusable.)  With Pence, there's absolutely zero chance of moderation because I believe he's too far right.  For example, Medicare and Social Security.  At least Trump has kept his promise (so far) not to touch them.  No guarantee, of course.  But with Pence? Those will be among the first things to be assaulted.  People like me never get full representation.  Ever.  At least Dems and Repubs get their chance every four or eight years.  The best people like me can hope for is that we don't move too far right or too far left on anything.

We have no idea what Trump's agenda is, other then just reversing everything Obama did because he is a petty, petty man.  He flip flops all the time.  Not a word that comes out of his mouth can be trusted.  He has no idea what he is doing and has surrounded himself with incompetent people.    Devos has absolutely no business being the Secretary of Education and Bannon shouldn't be within 100 yards of anyone making important decisions regarding this country.  He is spending more time golfing then Presidenting and costing tax payers a fortune.  He is simultaneously earning money from the secret service staying at Mar a lago.  

I absolutely do not like Pence , first and foremost becI think he has archanine ideas about women and I worry about the effect that could have.  That being said, I think he HAS to be an improvement over a Trump.  I don't worry about Pence being Putin's puppet or making uninformed decisions regarding other countries and the military.  I don't think Pence would be good for the country, but I would infinitely prefer him over Trump.  

I think the Republicans in the senate and House are much more worried about themselves then their constituents and  that is a huge problem.

As is every politician in DC.

Interestingly, we both seem to fall in the same place. I consider myself a moderate that's more financially conservative and socially liberal. I can honestly say I never feel really good about who I vote for, which explains why I'm so back and forth and down the middle on the D/R agendas and priorities.  I understand the concerns over Pence for sure.

This is going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Lol.  No wonder then - when I get a quick chance to check the board and I see your post I often think to myself "I could have written that!"

I was up at 2am our time and this was the breaking news. 

Repeating what I said on the other thread: I think this is the end of the tweets. The most powerful person in DC is now DT's lawyer, though I wish him big ones in trying to keep his client under control! 

I also had a question: if I understand your processes/ the reports so far this process will be conducted behind closed doors, Dang and Blast, so we may never hear the dope. This is unfortunate- what say the peas?
