Donald Trump takes a dictators stand against inquiry - McClatchy

[ffr]

...in wading into a criminal investigation into his own campaign with his firing of FBI Director James Comey Tuesday night, Trump has taken the kind of steps that would be routine for the dictatorial leaders—the Putins, the Dutertes, the Erdogans of the world—who he appears to admire.

Trump’s decision to sack Comey just 24 hours after his former top national security aide, Michael Flynn—and, by extension, his own diligence concerning Flynn’s behavior—was publicly put through the wringer raises a question: was this political payback.

Just how far will this president go as investigations into his campaign and its alleged ties to Russia intensify, and perhaps tighten around his inner circle, if not around Trump himself?

Instead of shielding himself from more scrutiny, firing Comey could have the opposite effect: more calls for an independent investigation over which the president will have no control. - McClatchy

1. Sure, sure ... 'more calls for' independent investigation ...

Which the GOPpers in the House and Senate will refuse to do anything about ... and NObody can make them.

Thanks to the idiots who voted these traitors into office and gave them the majority.

Good job, idiots.
