It makes a whole fucking lot more sense why the GOP in general hasn't been trying to distance themselves from Trump. The whole goddamn party is in on it!

Aaaaand I'm seeing the first post on my FB from an acquaintance saying "I'm sure the Democrats were doing worse, but nobodies investigating them, blahblahblah corrupt machine #MAGA."

For those who saw my post yesterday, yes, this is the same guy who insisted that the swamp was being drained, and Trump's cabinet picks were his way of "keeping his enemies close."

Although I've certainly been critical of the government in my life, it's time like these we put our faith in the constitution. There's clearly something going on with the Trump administration, no doubt in my mind. The question I have is.. who would want to get into bed with Trump and run the FBI? Will they really be able to find someone who will attempt to squash the investigation? I just can't imagine who would put their dignity on the line when Trump is in this deep already. It would be equal to selling your soul to the devil. I want to believe no matter what love for your country and it's legacy will outweigh anything else.

Rosenstein Pressed White House to Correct the Record on Comey Firing

WASHINGTON—Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein pressed White House counsel Don McGahn to correct what he felt was an inaccurate White House depiction of the events surrounding FBI Director James Comey’s firing, according to a person familiar with the conversation.

Mr. Rosenstein left the impression that he couldn’t work in an environment where facts weren’t accurately reported, the person said. The deputy attorney general objected to statements by White House aides citing Mr. Rosenstein’s critical assessment of Mr.Comey’s job performance to justify the firing.

I still don't understand how the GOP hasn't turned wholesale against Trump. He's nothing but a drag on their reelection chances at this point. Is shaving a couple points off billionaire tax rates really that important? Unless they really are all in on it......

A lot of the country put their dignity on the line when they voted for him in the first place.

Glad that DC got its own AG for this very moment.
