Just learned from a DU friend that Comey had put a hold on 50 peoples passports and assets

Okay. This is getting nutz. Comey fired for helping get trump elected?

I'm wondering if Comey's recent testimony, re: the emails, was planned. It put the emails back in the news.

my twitter feed is blowing up with Claude Taylor, who seems to be pretty plugged in.

What is most disturbing is Taylor is hearing that Comey (before getting fired) placed a hold on 50 peoples' passports and assets; trump, kushner, et. al., are transferring assets off-shore; Tellerson has released the holds. This is all unconfirmed rumor, but if true ... we are fully in "dictator taking the money and running" ... something that isn't supposed to be possible in our democracy.

Scary times!

1. Trump hasn't been seen in public for 4 or 5 days.

According to MSNBC Nicole Wallace.

2. Seriously? 50 people?

Yea, that story will support why a man with 30 years in the gummint got fired.

Plus, he didn't do that, I don't think.

3. Looks more like fake news.

Rex Tillerson is Secretary of State, he can't undermine the actions of the the FBI, or give orders to any other dept. The FBI would have to withdraw their own orders to make this tale credible. They would also need to legally justify that order just as they did the ones that would have initiated any such holds.

4. "Fake news"? trump's pet phrase? We'll see.
