This memo does not give Trump cover to fire anyone. Nixon had better cover when he fired Cox.

Sure. He can fire anyone if he wants to, but that will be a naked obstruction move. And, for that he should be removed from office. He has no legitimate grounds to fire anyone connected to this investigation.

I'm loving the negative reactions to Joe Kennedy's speech.

Some mock him. Some are already throwing shade on him from the left and the right. Some are dismissing him outright. What this tells me is that he made an impact and he got people's attention. I would like to see him use this attention to help get more Democrats elected to congress this year. If successful, then we can start talking about 2020.

Using a baseball analogy, he's a top pitching prospect in our farm system. On Tuesday, he pitched an inning of relief and got some big outs. If he can help the team win this year, then he may become our Ace of the staff heading into 2020.
