CNN's Jeffrey Toobin says this is abuse of power.

[Ilsa]

Says he hasn't seen anything like this since 1972

[regnaD kciN]

1. October 1973, actually

…and, back then, the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, so they couldn't get away with it. Now, OTOH…

[liberalmuse]

26. You win for knowing our history.

And being absofuckinglutely right!

[NBachers]

33. Here's the headlines:

[Ilsa]

41. Thanks. I thought he said '72. I have

a really bad ear infection, the worst in fifty years, and my hearing at certain frequencies is shot. There are times during the day when I am effectively almost deaf. My tv sound is set to level 52 for me to hear everything. It was at 22 when I first heard what Toobin said.

[Sculpin Beauregard]

2. It is. I tried to warn people and was continually shot down. Good luck, USA. It's a full coup now.

Remember, he fired Yates too.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Gloria even used the "coup" word.

[malaise]

12. Yes she did and Toobin wanted to know what country is this

Damn!

[dhill926]

17. sadly agree....

[tblue37]

30. And US Attorney Preet Bharara, who was investigating cabinet nominee Tom Price. nt

[KingCharlemagne]

42. Hitler e,ecuted Ernst Roehm too. - nt

[dchill]

3. Most of this President's actions are abuses of power.

This one is the worst, though.

[sharp_stick]

5. Probably a good comparison

Trump and Nixon seem pretty much on par.

[George II]

40. Nixon was a squeaky clean saint compared to trump.

[adigal]

44. Nixon was smart and knew his way around DC

Trump is stupid, arrogant as hell, and his idiots have no idea how DC works.

We have those things going for us. He is a fool. We need to use this.

[MFM008]

6. Henry Vlll

Is in court.

[Txbluedog]

16. Except Henry VIII was an absolute monarch

Trump is an democratically elected ☹️ Leader

[Mr.Bill]

20. Fruadulently elected. n/t

[Amaryllis]

38. Not elected. Put in place with a coup.

[Volaris]

39. Lol no he fuckin isnt.

[MFM008]

43. No he isnt.

A democratically elected leader = Macrone in France. Angela Merkle in Germany.
Our electoral college crap has allowed 2 usurpers to seize the office
away from the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED democrat.
OR/ one with the most votes.
Henry the 8 is a perfect parallel to maggot.
He also THINKS he has absolute power.
It ended badly for Henry, It will end badly for BLOTUS.
PS he couldn't lead a Jr. High school band.

[Thrill]

7. He can do that because the Republicans in Congress won't do their job

their just puppets

[rzemanfl]

8. There, their, they're. That's how a grammar Nazi comforts someone. n/t

[The Blue Flower]

10. lol!

I'm going to have to steal that.

[rzemanfl]

13. Be my guest. n/t

[Ilsa]

19. Oh were, oh we're has my little dog gone, oh where, oh we're can he be?

Okay, not exact pronunciation, but it shows up a lot.

[lunatica]

47. Good one!

LOL

[mopinko]

9. ya think?

talk about admission of guilt.

[FiveGoodMen]

11. I'd say this is a LOT worse than Nixon

[Hekate]

14. He's got that right, and it smacks of Nixonian desperation. nt

[sharedvalues]

15. Forget 1972. This is Pearl Harbor. Cuban Missile Crisis. Hiroshima.

This is WAY BIGGER than Nixon. Way way bigger.


GOP in Congress - where do you stand?!?!?!

[nocalflea]

18. If people aren't outraged by this ...

If I lived in the area I'd go to the WH right now .

[PA Democrat]

21. Toobin back on saying "the emperor is wearing no clothes."

OMG. He said can anyone believe that Comey was fired because he was too mean to Hillary.

[Cha]

50. And, Joy Reid..

Link to tweet

[malaise]

22. Toobin says he'll appoint a Chris Christie

to do his bidding

[tomp]

25. giuliani, perhaps? nt

[maryellen99]

23. HRC is going to be indicted:(

[Ilsa]

24. If they don't get a conviction, they are going

to try and bankrupt the Clintons and destroy their legacy.
Fuck them.

[MFM008]

45. Just like Obama

both ( Obama and Clinton) will survive maggot.

[LibraLiz1973]

28. Yep.

Unfuckingbelievable

[Boomerproud]

31. He will be satisfied with nothing less.

This is very, very scary stuff. The emoticon cannot be used in this case. A woman who has devoted her entire adult life to public service is in jeopardy simply because a vengeful maniac is in charge. We need help.

[adigal]

46. Do they want a real civil war?? Then they should come after Hillary.

They are really overstating the support they have - it's only from their toothless, sister-banger base. (sorry, I am IRATE)

[LibraLiz1973]

27. Toobin is on fire. He's spot on.

[Ilsa]

29. Did you see Toobin dumb it down for Wolf? NT

[qanda]

32. Link to Toobin

Link to tweet

?s=09

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, and now Comey. Three strikes, he should be out. Might be.

The investigation is not going to stop.

[Ilsa]

37. I don't think at least half of the US is going to let this

roll out the way donald cock holster trump wants it to.

[Amaryllis]

35. What is "this"?

[Ilsa]

36. Firing the FBI Director as he's closing in on the investigation. nt

48. Absolutely SHAMEFUL...FBI was going to bring charges against Dumpty's crew and maybe Dumpty...

...now he does this. FBI seems to be a close knit group. I hope they see the writing on the wall and can get Trump's ass w/o having to go through Sessions. This is un-fkn-believable. Is this really America.

[elmac]

49. Well, yes and no

Comey should have got his ass kick out the day after the election by Pres Obama. I would never trust the guy to run anything bigger then a ice cream stand. The problem now is that it looks like tRump is pulling a nixon. Its an F'ing mess.
