The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the Senate Judiciary Committee will investigate President Donald Trumps firing of former FBI Director James Comey.
According to the report, senators want to know if Trump acted improperly when he allegedly fired Comey to influence an investigation into Russias hacking of the 2016 U.S. election.
The Judiciary Committee has an obligation to fully investigate any alleged improper partisan interference in law enforcement investigations, Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said in a statement. It is my view that fully investigating the facts, circumstances, and rationale for Mr. Comeys removal will provide us the opportunity to do that on a cooperative, bipartisan basis.

This would have been the topic of the day if not for the act of a cretinous coward. If he wanted to draw attention to Trump's perfidy he should have immolated himself and not hid in the bushes shooting congresspeople practicing for a baseball game.

(179 posts)The same Wall Street Journal article reports that this investigation will also include an inquiry into Loretta Lynch and her meeting with former President Bill Clinton on the tarmac. Thanks to Dianne Feinstein and her public comments during the Session hearing, this investigation will have more than one focus, you can bet it will overshadow anything about James Comey and Donald Trump.
