NYT: Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation

Impeachment would be the worst thing that could happen. Its much better to ride his and the republicans unpopularity into big wins in 2018 and 2020 instead of giving them an easy out

Yes, this is going much too quickly. We need republican legislative paralysis with a small dem increase In 2018 and the final blow coming in 2019'to pave the way for dem control in place for redistricting in 2020.

Problem is if Comey thought it was a crime, they are going to claim he should have reported it and/or resigned. I feel like Trump will skate on this one like all the others.

He supposedly did report it to the DOJ, which would mean Sessions/Rosenstein could be in hot water over this as well.
 
If the head of the FBI writes a contemporaneous memo of you admitting to a crime and presented it in court, you would almost certainly be convicted.

but he is not the head of the FBI anymore, oh wait....ding ding ding

This is coming off as though Comey was in the middle of a juicy investigation and Trump fired him to prevent this from happening. I wouldn't doubt if Comey was putting all his eggs in one basket before dropping everything. Shit stain probably got wind and fired him. Hence, "there better not be any tapes!"
 
So let me get this straight; this story is based on the reading of a document, which the news source has not seen? Let alone whether it's even legit? Am I the only one that finds that a little suspicious?

It wouldn't surprise me if it was true, but this looks like the story wanting to get this article out stat, because they hate Trump. I can't imagine how much doubt people that support Trump in middle America would look at an article like this.
 
This is exactly like the campaign. One huge scandal follows another, flooding everything out and never letting any single thread develop into a "deal breaker". The scary thing is that I really don't think any of it will stick. He already admitted to sexual assault on tape, why would a memo saying he tried to obstruct justice change anything? Not only is the whole world stuck with him, he is basically eroding every single moral and legal institution in the country.

At the time of pussygate he was a private citizen who we assumed had no chance of being elected that was caught up in a scandal of being extremely crass in a 20 year old video. It's not the same as being the sitting POTUS and getting tied up in frequent scandals that make you out to be a traitor at worst and dangerously incompetent at best.
 
Honestly I feel like one of these days the ultimate curveball in this whole thing is gonna occur and Trump will just literally drop dead right on the spot from all of the stress. If I was writing the movie, in true Burn After Reading style, that'd pretty much be the only direction to take the plot at this stage.

So basically Being There with a different ending then?

NYT also corroborated it with other sources. NBC is also confirming.
 
Probably been posted in a thread somewhere, but I just saw this and lol would be god tier if Comey said exactly these words https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/863080652706598914

Also what's with Chaffetz? Did he wake up from the delusion? Did him deciding not to run again (possibly with higher office in sight) make him realize he needs to stop being a partisan shitheel? Maybe he decided not having someone to investigate all the time is boring?



I'm not hearing emails or benghazi, so I don't see why we should all be mad?

He doesn't have to get re-elected. He's reportedly going to be an analyst. Having a more nuanced take on stuff like this probably sits well with his next career than just towing whatever the official line is, which you can get from just about anyone.
 
@EWErickson

Scoop: GOP polling over the weekend shifted against them in Montana and Georgia. National GOP starting to worry.

They are so fucked. Either they stick to their guns and lose even more of the mainstream moderates and independents or they back down and completely lose their base.
 
The longer the GOP try to control this and spin it in their favor, the more it's gonna kill their party.

I'm not saying The Happening is in full swing yet, but it's starting to Happen.
