So it was Comey who leaked classified information that jeopardized an Israeli spying on Iran.
It was Comey who bragged to the Russians in the oval office that he got rid of the nutjob to take the pressure of himself, DT.
And then we have Comey causing Sessions to forget his meetings with Russians.  Ditto, Jared.
But of course, we have Jamie Gorelick swearing that the Trumps are all ethical.

Comey is weird, but Trump is clearly in over his head and is incapable of rising to the requirements of the office.

Trump didn't get total vindication; it's simply apparent that what he did wasn't criminal.  It was, however, sleazy. 

[Wingnut]

  It was, however, sleazy.

That is a prerequisite for every politician today.  You say it like it is an anomaly.

Trump's sleaze is in a NYC class by itself.  So yes, it is a bit of an anomaly.

The Kenyan's sleaze was just more sophisticated is all.

I wasn't contrasting Trump with Obama. 

[Cripplecreek]

Despite all the bold claims that its over, I wouldn't bet against Trump being called to testify in coming months.

I was.  Some sleaze oozes more that other slime but they are all equal.

@Oceander At least it is not Chicago sleaze, which is the slimiest sleaze in existence, and we had to swim in it for eight years. Don't try to pretend that anything Trump did is new and unique. Trump is a freakin' boy-scout compared to the guy he replaced.

Testify about what and to whom?

@Oceander

"what he did wasn't criminal"
We won't know that until the special counsel completes his investigation.

Not true!  We know that now and we also know that there should not be any special council in this matter! Not at all!

This whole story is beginning to bore me. The narrative night after night on the news was that the Trump team had Russia help get him elected, which there has been no evidence.  Now has there been friction between Trump and high ranking appointees?  Absolutley....after all he is Trump..but that does not deserve this much media coverage.

[Restored]

No, it was ignored by the media.

[Bigun]

No, it was ignored by the media.

Absolutely right!  With purpose and forethought!   

[XenaLee]

No, not sophisticated.  It's just that Bathhouse Barry had a gimmick going for him.  A little thing called 'the first black president'....a clean, articulate black president.... which presumably put him above all criticism for fear of being deemed a racist.  That kind of 'untouchable' quality may come off as sophisticated.... but in reality, it's all a sham.

Yep, Obama had a force field around him that made him immune from such attacks.   And had she won, Hillary would have had her force field as well.

[Rivergirl]

I recall that the FBI went into the oval office and took blood from bubba in the monica matter.
None of that  ever was revealed to the public.  I suspect Mueller will do his job without any public notice. 
My fervent hope is that DT declares victory as he resigns.

I hate to disappoint you, but.....

DT is never going to resign.

Multiple force fields

force field = skin pigment
force field = media
force field = democrat party
