Watergate II?
 
With Comey's demise, is anybody else experiencing a creepy kind of nostalgia?

This feels different to me. Worse.

When Nixon did his firing of Archibald Cox (and all that entailed), I had more of a feeling that he had basically sealed his own fate--it might take a while, but he was done.

The Trump saga is still less certain to me. For one thing, we've got a much worse bunch of Republicans on the Hill. Makes a big difference.

Yep, I remember the Saturday Night Massacre. While I don't shed one tear for Comey, the way Trump fired him was shabby and despicable. He learned that he was fired during a speech at the LA headquarters of the FBI by seeing it splashed across a TV screen.

Anyone who believes the official reason they trotted out has rocks in their head. This was all about ending the investigation into Russia and Trump. This action will have the opposite effect, imo.

Schumer supposedly going to try to start impeachment proceedings tomorrow morning, 9:30 sharp. Not sure he can do anything without repube support. Hope so.

"Repube" -- Chicks, are you funnin' us?

But publishing Clinton emails last October had been a fine job, right, Mr. Arsch President?

laughable. Impeachment after the firing of Comey. Comey--the most inept FBI Director, a man heavily disliked by both sides.

Initiated by Schumer. :D

Impeachment is right and correct. This is clearly a cover-up, and you don't cover-up nothing. Trump has painted himself guilty.

But this is circumstantial evidence. However clear the logic of it, direct evidence will be needed to make impeachment stick. So Schumer is a little premature. Right, but premature.

From the far distance - across the pond - it looks like another attempt of Trump to successfully castrate the American democray.

One way to ensure there never is any evidence against you is to fire everyone investigating you...Comey, Bharara, Yates.....

Republicans, lousy crooks, all of them.
