This is significant. This is the first time we have proof that NY State has its own investigation.
Trump can't interfere with a state investigation and he can't pardon someone from state charges.

Is it really? I thought I recalled reading something about it, but I might just be remembering something the Mensch/Taylor Twitter people said. Either way, nice to have credible confirmation.

There has been a bunch of twitter speculation, but nothing from a reputable source.
Do you know these guys in person? One of my theories is that a lot of the most extreme Bernie Bros online as well as the people that were most extreme in trashing Bernie and his supporters were partially Russian trolls and not actual supporters.
I know super Bernie bros exist, much like PUMAs did in 2008, but I think Russia was amplifying their voice significantly in 16.

Yup, racism just evolved and people learned that in certain places it gets them in trouble so they became quieter in public.
Frankly Kasich should have taken that deal. He's about 1000x better than what we got.
Let's all get serious. Trump probably sees no wrongdoing in the relationships he has with Russia, so he's not afraid of any investigation.
The driving factor behind Donald firing Comey is Trump feeling intimidated.
Comey is huge.
Would love to see their hands side by side in comparison.

Comey prolly kills it on Tinder.
If I were a Republican, I'd go big picture political here. I'd sweeten up to Trump, pretend I was extremely loyal. And then I'd use my position to pursue this case with the fury of a thousand suns: I'd immediately befriend myself to huge portions of the electorate as "bipartisan, country-first", gain massive profile, and would be one of the few Republicans able to take advantage of the power hole that'll come after the fall of Trump/end of his presidency.
Ted Cruz?

Comey probably drives an Escalade EXT with monster truck wheels
Ted Cruz does not attempt to be bipartisan.
I have to imagine this is going in at least a couple of heads with all the investigation news now.
There's a difference between attempt and pretend.

yeah, because that worked wonders for the democrats last time!
I hope that's what all his pathetic ball fondling has been leading to. At least that would give some non-sycophantic reason behind his grotesque groveling he has done since having Trump publicly accuse his father of being complicit in the Kennedy assassination.
Otherwise Cruz will go down in history as literally the most worthless, spine deprived creature to ever exist on the planet outside of Amoebas. And, well, Amoeba's have more value than Ted Cruz, let's be honest.
And he does neither.

How is it that his wife hasn't left him yet? Can't be too pleased about him cozying up to a man who insulted her looks.
Apparently Comey wanted to but decided not to because even that, he thought, would create the appearance of partisanship. While clearly an intelligent and seemingly scrupulous man, his most boneheaded moves came not from the drive for independence and non-partisanship but for the drive to appear independent and nonpartisan.
The constant fear she must live with of him consuming her soul to feed to lord Cthulhu himself is probably enough to get her to stick around. That and being a fundamentalist can get you to do anything, pretty much.
no im not joking. I've only finished season 3. We had a thread earlier this week where the title was changed for a spoiler that happened in like season 2 or 3 of breaking bad. And the show's been over for almost 4 years. I asked why, and people were all like it only takes a minute to not spoil something. But here we are in a completely unrelated thread with spoilers.
you need to re-check the post i quoted, i edited it.

I'm sure Trump is seeing this in his nightmares.
That scene was actually terrifying

What is this from?
Shame about those 60 million voters who see no wrong with Trump. Just constant winning.

It Follows.
Of course it's from the one modern horror film I haven't seen. Thanks.
The FBI is not about politics. Comey was in a bad situation and chose the option which would have a smaller negative effect on the credibility of the FBI.
Comey may have reopened the investigation, but it was Chaffetz who leaked the memo, and Weiner who caused all of this.
I can't wait until all this shit is over and scooby-doo pulls off Trump's mask and reveals... another smaller Trump. A true small man with a giant chip on his shoulder. Out to get back at the world that always looked down on him.
Hands were real the whole time because it's hard to do stuff with gloves on.

Highly recommend it. My favorite horror film of the last while.
Yea it's the scene that stuck with me the most afterwards.

I mean, I'm all in favor of making Trump enraged, but let's not forget that Comey did screw the pooch pretty hard last year. Firing Trump's pick simply because he was Trump's pick is good enough without putting the guy who put Trump in office back into power.
I saw It Follows in theatres and people gasped. It was great.
The creature changing its appearance for every encounter was so unsettling, it keeps the viewer on their toes, for sure.
AWWW SHIT
