Put your money on that.
Something was about to happen. Perhaps indictments were about to fall? Perhaps the other shoe was about to fall? Perhaps Comey was getting ready to make his move?
The Congress, the NSA, the CIA, none of them have the power of the FBI.
This is the stuff of dictatorships.
This has frozen the FBI investigation in place and the future nominees will be so controversial that Mr Trump will have have bought himself a year or two to continue his assault upon our democracy.
As much as we may dislike James Comey, this is not a good day for Democrats or America.

(4,443 posts)Upon the advice of my attorney general, I proclaim that water isn't wet because water is what wets things and makes them wet. Steve Bannon and the Discovery Institute say that cause and effect collapse when you say water is wet! Wrong! You have completely yugely mischaracterized the nature of water. Fake news!
