Now Trump threatens Comey

Not to mention Trump may have illegally Taped Comey and his conversation.
Its Nixon Deja Vu all over again!

Me thinks, he's done. My offer from Mar 9, 2017 is still good. Just can't figure out why not one of the true believers has taken me up on it yet...

Comey willing to testify, but only in public: report

James Comey is willing to speak to Congress following his sudden dismissal as head of the FBI earlier this week, but he wants the testimony to be public, according to a new report.

Comey declined an invitation to speak to the Senate Intelligence Committee in a closed door session next week.

However, The New York Times reports that a source says Comey is willing to speak if it's a public hearing.

Comey was the face of the FBI throughout the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election and alleged coordination with President Trump's campaign. He was fired by Trump on Tuesday in a surprise move that sparked criticism and confusion throughout Washington.

"He was not doing a good job," Trump said Wednesday when asked why he fired Comey. "Very simply, he was not doing a good job."

If he testifies, Comey is likely to face questions from the committee about both the Russia probe and the timing of his unexpected removal from the office.

I get the feeling that Trump may start to feel that the walls are closing in on him

I read some democrats are going to put forward a bill for a "blue card" for ag workers who are here illegaly to get legal status, I hope they can work to getherer to forge a compromise, like maybe permanent residency, maybe not permamnenet citizenship, until after all the people who applied first get it.( I have a few names)
They anticipate it would cover 2.5 million workers, the h2a doesn't cover year round workers which is one of its downfalls.

Would be great if something could be worked out.

The Comey firing (and subsequent "spin") has outraged a lot of people and seems to have gotten some things moving along faster...

Today he says:
"I have been asking Director Comey & others, from the beginning of my administration, to find the LEAKERS in the intelligence community....."

Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador
"President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State."

Merkel: "What did I tell you about the Russians?"
Trump: "Don't tell them secrets."
Merkel: "What did you tell them?"
Trump: "Everything."

Its Official!
Trump is the biggest Idiot to ever be President!

Doesn't end and just as expected:

We should get some nice "friends of Comey" leaks coming.

Messing with the intelligence community, not going to end well for him.

Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation

WASHINGTON — President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo that Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.

“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

The existence of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia.

Turns out he was talking about himself all along, as he always does.

Dang, almost 2 months of not posting in this thread. I guess at this point it's really hard defending Trump.

That is how the entire GOP is feeling today.

Even the soulless, attention "escort", fake Christian Coulter is about to jump ship.

Add to that Roger Stone seeding an insanity defense.

Just waiting on Ryan to pull out his corporate shiv.

Special counsel appointed to oversee Russian meddling in election - Robert Mueller, FBI head prior to Comey.
It's believed Manafort and Flynn will be key figures in the investigation.
Some comments in 2016 by the house majority leader about 45 being paid by Putin (followed by Ryan telling those present to "keep it in the family") surface
Rumors of improper handling of Comey's computer and files when he was fired.
All in all, not a bad day.

Mission accomplished. They must have been re-assigned.

Trump is reportedly going to give a speech about Islam in Saudi Arabia. That should be entertaining, to say the least.

Trump is reportedly going to give a speech about Islam in Saudi Arabia.

Just got an advance copy:

Listen, I’m just telling it like it really is.
You don’t know, people who listen to me, they know.
You need to listen.
You are better off with me and my fake form of Christianity.
I’m the best.
Without me what will you have?
People love me. Other people, smart people. We get along perfectly.
I’m perfect.
When I leave, you will be stuck again with Islam. You don’t want that, do you?
I have won awards, I am so rich, and people love me.
I’m the best!
Ok, take care now Saudi Arabia...
