I really want there to be tapes and I really want them "leaked" to the press.

this is ridiculous, if you have this much to write, get a fucking domain name and start a website or something.
thanks for the untagged spoilers in a completely unrelated thread on a show thats still airing.

As unlikely as it is, I was more interested as it would be a quick way to determine her credibility either way. Though she still seems weirdly confident it's going to happen as of the last hour. Again, taking this with lots of salt.

"I didn't ask the question but I think it's a good question and that it should be asked and that's why I asked it."
"I can't say anything about the public threat I made to the FBI Director that I fired this week because my staff informed me today that it looks bad when I threaten people."
There really is no need for a special Prosecutor as long as things continue to operate properly. A Special Prosecutor would reset everything back to day 0 and start over.
If Trump makes a move further than it may come to appoint where it is required but if the FBI is pushing on and things are as advanced as suggested it would be foolish to have the Trump Administration appoint a special prosecutor.

They either have what they need or it's a display of the loyalty Comey refused to give.

Honest question.
So I've been watching TV for about 20 mins and there's one thing that confuses me.
How many times do the Democrats have to get burned and played before they give up on Republicans? Are people that gullible that they believe better nature will prevail? It's not a very pragmatic thing to do.
And if Republicans have been silent all day, then what makes anyone think they care? I wouldn't hold my breath until proven otherwise but the persistence by Dems is simultaneously​ sad, scary, and impressive.

I mean, we knew this back in January.
Remember the whole charade press conference where he had a lawyer get up in front of manilla folders full of fake papers, to say how he isn't violating the emoluments clause? People outed that lawyer and her firm, which are the same as this. Though I think people did digging and said that they have offices all over the globe with a branch in Russia.
But what can Comey tell them that's critical right now and they can't get from McCabe? The guy isn't Sherlock Holmes. He isn't the only one figuring this stuff out.
Now you know what it's like to be in the mindset of a Fox News-watching Breitbart-reading Drudge-F5ing right-wing drone.

High five same name bro!
if Rosenstein was so pissed off that Comey's firing was more or less blamed on him, why would he do a complete 180 like that to appease Trump? i don't buy it. i don't think Comey wanted a special prosecutor because he has full faith in McCabe and the rest of the FBI that they're far enough along in this investigation to get somewhere and i think Rosenstein knows that.
This is what we deserve, but we don't always get what we deserve.
Ha ha for real. My brain is like "hey, didn't she say some infuriating shit a little while back? Don't you have her logged in the memory records as being some kind of asshole for something?" and then my pleasure center is like "Hey shut the fuck up, we're trying to get high over here."

Paul Ryan is such a pussy. The entire party is.
It's also sensationalized. The law firm those lawyers work for have offices all over the world. The one in Moscow got some type of award from a company headquartered in London honoring it as the best in Russia. The lawyers who work for Trump likely have little to no contact with the Russian office. It's just not all that significant.

I honestly think he wants to save face. He got made a fool this week.
She hates BLM, OWS, SJWs, and loves Milo & Murdoch. She's scum of the highest order and is hated in her home country.
Having literally finished reading 1984 for the first time a couple hours ago... I'm very afraid where our society is going.
That whole speach from O'Brian was shilling when thinking about how many leaders / rich people would probably agree with it and welcome this.
Yeah, see the edit I made.
The tough thing about having such a clear enemy is that it's easy to believe anything that tears them down. Just gotta stay objective.

So guess our next thread will be Rosenstein being fired by Trump in a few weeks.

I absolutely agree with you on what kind of person she is, but that does not preclude her from being right on occasion.
They don't even need a new memo. Trump can just write "that memo you wrote telling me to fire Comey was shit and we need to restore faith in the DOJ"
Ok, a few things just from reading that excerpt:
- He clearly did ask that question, because he first responds that it's not inappropriate instead of denying that he asked it, he only denies when she asks directly.
- He apparently equates loyalty to him as loyalty to the country.
- His tape tweet was nothing but an empty bluff and that's why absolutely no one, from Spicer to himself, will address it.
Read "Brave New World" next.
Reflects poorly. The subject of Rosenstein's recommendation letter used in Comey's dismissal was "Restoring Public Confidence in the FBI". The letter was written by Rosenstein either voluntarily or under pressure from Trump and Sessions. Either situation demands a special prosecutor at this point. That is, if Rosenstein gives a shit about "public confidence" in anything or if he understands that he is vulnerable to pressure from the WH, then this is his cue to recommend a special prosecutor.
So you give yourself free will to believe whatever facts align with your cynical world view, and any that don't are part of the show.
Already read that in class a long time ago, which is why I hadn't read 1984 at the time, both being close. I guess 1984 is a bit more shilling with how fast The Party seized absolute control vs the more gradual (iirc) take over in the brave new world.

He won't testify before Congress. Is this bad or is this just not good?

its neither good or bad.
Him testifying would've done nothing, as the FBI has all the same info he has and he wouldnt be able tot alk about it anyway.
at worst, the trump admin could claim a bitter comey falsies his testimony
