It's just their play. Pretend to be innocent and imply this had everything to do with Hillary.
They knew exactly what they were doing and what the blowback would be.

They should ban her from the network. It's just tedious watching anyone talk to her. Enough already.
Hahaha, what did you think the FBI was?

I like the photo they used for that story. Gave me an idea to properly express how I am feeling right now trying to absorb this news.
You think FBI agents generally want their pictures in the news?
Congress can impeach the president for literally anything if they want to call it a high crime.
Andrew Johnson had several articles of impeachment drawn up against him that were not felonies. One of them was making speeches with the intent to show disrespect for Congress!

Damn. Some of them must be pissed as fuck.
Its gonna suck to be the guy to take Comeys place.
He knows he'll hold that L for life and is trying to poke fun at himself.

I mean take a break from attacking posters on a forum saying they took away your health care, or tacitly encourage people to assassinate their senators and representatives.

Fox reaction amounts to this:
"Gee golly whiz, I'm not sure why this is such a controversy."

There's a big difference between knowing that something could happen and expecting that something to happen. Natural disasters can be shocking, but there are still contingency plans for them.

Well yes when you know that the administration is under investigation of treason and the administration just practically killed the investigation I think people would be upset

trying to remain calm and not post to much, this'll be my last post of the night. (i gotta get my finals done, but i feel like im a political alcohilic)
this is all extremely interesting, especially now that the subpoenas have been confirmed by cnn. There always seems to be breaking news on friday, and its only tuesday. If the past few hours is any indication, this week is going to be a rollercoaster.

He fired the special prosecutor that was investigating Watergate.

I hope this actually emboldens the FBI further to bring down Trump
Not even Nixon was that bad.
I'm glad the investigators are still there, but we don't know what's going to happen next. Its a power play by the fascist Trump administration to wrest control over the Department of Justice. They are going to make the Justice Dept and the FBI bow down to the president, since he, like any tyrant, believes he can do any fucking thing he wants.
Don't be surprised when the Dept of Justice investigation is somehow ended

Does this shitstupid administration not realize how bad of a move it is to piss off the IC?

In that case I think you are misunderstanding why people are getting excited.
This is a significant development in a very long game.

no, but he fired the special prosecutor in the watergate scandal and the outrage caused even republicans in both the house and senate to turn their backs on him.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Rachel Maddow's associate pointing out the receipts for the dates on the letters both being today, and how odd that is if this was really originally started by the DoJ.
Presumably the 'He seemed presidential tonight' comment from Trump's speech to Congress a while back.

No! Not even!
That's pretty much a forgone conclusion. If Trump tries to have the investigation shut down stuff will leak and the FBI isn't going to rat themselves out for Trump. I'd like to think that anyway.
Yep, time to hit the mute button.
