That would mean he admits defeat
That much was obvious.

I said "somewhat stomach" but yeah, because either way the results will end up being the same no matter who gets chosen, beit a person who's currently under investigation or not. They're just there to serve Trump.
Hopefully more hacks come in to speed up the process ever more.
That's great
i needed this laugh
But first we need to talk about Parallel Universes.
Yep, Trump made him NSD for exactly that reason.

Still gotta make it through the senate. I'm assuming this needs a 60 vote margin for approval???
Thought it was 50.
No. Just 51.

For what, not clearing Trump up?

If it's 50, it's not really an extra road block worth discussing is why I had made the assumption.
Hmmm ... why are we acting like the senate will be an actual check here?
It's 50, meaning the GOP can put whoever they want into the position unless a few GOP members are more than Trump puppets.

Can you get impeached in just 0.5x A presses?

Steve Bannon's official position similarly is...rules adjacent let's say.

Because enough of them hate Chris Christie too. He might as well try to appoint Ted Cruz.

Maybe that's where those people from "a lot of people are saying" exist.

oh i think they understand fine
do thing > create narrative around thing is the trend here
True. Nevermind that a lot of veteran positions from even earlier administrations got removed for no good reason, so we might have some real "swamp draining" to do next time.
alex jones has a little something to tell you about called the Trump Dimension
Mostly because it requires hearings and financial disclosures, both of which would obviate the need to even nominate Chris Christie as he would fail spectacularly at both.

Can't believe people are praising Sanders for being a better propagandist.

The GOP Senate will want somebody loyal to them, not loyal to Trump.

I know this is unreasonable but it's getting to the point where every republican congressperson who opposes an independent investigation in whatever practical form is required should be tried for light treason if/when there is proof of collusion between Trump team and Russia.
Every person who opposes this is choosing party affiliation and ignorance over actual patriotism as knowledge.

Attempt 24 to plant soundbite, does it take now?
So far; everything.
Uhm, side question from an under informed Belgian ...
I always thought FBI was for internal affairs and CIA for external affairs, so since there are supposedly Russians involved: is there any chance of something compromising coming from the CIA? Or is that wishful thinking?

He really is a tiny man.
It's not. It's why we're all concerned... Unless the spineless brothers actually vote instead of run their mouths.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!

Tweeted the same thing from the official POTUS account too, which he only does when his cage is really rattled.

Trump: Get in line or this will happen to you
FBI: Uh how about instead we just keep leaking things
The man with the most vulnerable jimmies.
Well duh. If he could get away with what Kim Jong Un does he'd do it in a heartbeat.

Let's be honest guys, there's only one choice to replace Comey as the head of the FBI.
Since it concerns a foreign power acting on domestic soil, it sort of concerns both. Since the FBI is more equipped to handle investigations like this (especially those that require subpoenas and grand juries necessary to bring a case to trial) they seem to be doing most of the work. The CIA seems to be gathering evidence and keeping their ear to the ground but likely we won't hear much from them (see: Clapper)
