Good

Even if this doesn't kick him out, it'll be a huge thorn in his side during what is supposed to be the busiest time of his presidency. His first 100 days are toast.

A long, drawn out legal battle, plus the GOP fighting with themselves whether to impeach or not as the story explodes more and more will erode Trump's presidency and the GOP's influence. Midterms will come up and Trump will have spent the last year and a half fighting scandal after scandal, just barely keeping his presidency above water, let alone doing anything major.

This is a nightmare situation for them.

I am growing less tolerant of people saying Hillary not being the right candidate is why she lost. Her issues and how people perceived her didn't help. But we were harmed by not only foreign powers but also within.

In retrospect perhaps someone else should have been the nominee. But not just because of her campaign's shortcomings.

Thanks for letting the American people know, it's not like we had an election where that would have been pertinent information. Jesus, what a shitshow. How does Obama justify sitting on this kind of information against Trump, fuck man, it's not impartial to disclose that a candidate running for president is being blackmailed/collaborating with Russians.

How in the world did the FBI decide that they hated the Clintons far more than the candidate sponsored by the KGB.

This is still the most staggering thing. What happened to the Cold Warriors that used to live there?

Guardian: The FBI, during the election, sought a warrant to "monitor four members of the Trump team," got rejected.

The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus. According to one report, the FBI was finally granted a warrant in October, but that has not been confirmed, and it is not clear whether any warrant led to a full investigation.

Republicans vs. Cold Warriors. Both sides common ground: Don't like Hillary.

There are no Democrats in the Intelligence agencies.

That's my unsubstantiated pet theory based solely on circumstantial evidence.

Getting rid of Trump/Pence/whomever else...now and holding new Presidential elections wouldn't be enough. Republicans cleaned up all over the place based on their false messiah.

Is Paul Ryan really gonna take over? No one saying shit about Trump but Comey harping on the emails will be Obama's legacy. Where the fuck is foot-in-mouth Joe Biden when you need him? Someone should have said something before the election.

Why wouldn't Pence take over? Is he involved in this too?

Oh please tell me yes.

I'm sure they were if this tape exists, but let's be real here. The probability this tape exists is similar to the probability that Trump will actually increase manufacturing employment (near zero).

Yeah I feel like if he's just ("just") hanging out with prostitutes that's not enough for Russia to have any control over him.

Even if he is peeing on them.

I don't think the report will stick. Republicans won't impeach unless he completely stops working with them on their legislative priorities.

Would go along with the comments about his daughter, the teenage beauty pageant thing, and the Epstein rumors and rape lawsuit.

I'm am much more than 50% convinced Trump is a pedophile/rapist.

Words cannot describe the immense amount of hatred I have for Comey at this moment.

Amazing. FISA court turned down 12 warrant requests, total, out of 38,000 between 1979 and 2015. But this one it rejected.

Wow, we didn't even have to wait until he was in office for a scandal. I kind of thought he would at least hold it together for a bit longer, but knowing trump I guess I set my expectations too high.

I'm really curious to see if the Republicans will finally start to abandon him should this hold true. My bar is set super low for the party though, so I'm not holding out hope.
