In the eyes of many of Trump's supporters, he is an outsider elected for the express purpose of draining the swamp (lay waste the establishment). As long as the establishment is still there and Trump keeps pointing his fingers at others, they will believe him. He is their hero and Trump will always find a scapegoat.

And instead he made the White House into an even bigger swamp.

It even has Caffretz ready to subpoena Comey's notes. Guess he plans to run for the Bishop's seat in the Senate.

I hope Democrats can let this go. But I suspect that they'll just find something else to obsess about.

Comey will also testify that he told the President on three separate occasions that he was not personally the target of the federal intelligence investigation—assurances Trump spoke about publicly. A key caveat, however, is that Comey told Trump he was reluctant to make that information public “because it would create a duty to correct, should that change,” per the statement.

Comey confirmed that, at the time, Trump was not a subject of the counter-intelligence investigation (though his minions were). There is a good chance, however, that he is the subject of an obstruction of justice investigation by Mueller. In any event, Trump is a low-life, malignant skank and your unwavering loyalty to him says a great deal about you.

Too bad that has absolutely nothing to do with Trump's obstruction of Justice that will come to light tomorrow.

Jump aboard the sinking ship boys.

So far, no testimony from Comey to suggest obstruction, so you may be disappointing here as well.

Its also good to see that you've moved away from accusations of criminal behavior prior to or after the election, and now focused on the "process crime" of obstruction. Still, I can imagine how disappointing it is when your hopes are dashed.

No evidence.

The failure to have a coronation has evolved in multiple efforts to cripple the state.

Perhaps a compromised Queen would have been better than an out of control know nothing pussy grabbing dictator.
