Rod Rosenstein has been Deputy AG two weeks. That's a pretty short time for him to have done the work to make so serious a "recommendation."

Sen. Chuck Schumer says he got a call from Trump: "I told the president, Mr President, with all due respect, you're making a big mistake."

One thing DC cant figure out is why this POTUS is comfortable running towards controversy.  Tell him he can't or shouldn't and well, he does

There have been multiple occasions where Comey, Yates, and Clapper have all said there's NO EVIDENCE LINKING TRUMP TO THE RUSSIANS, but they still insist on this special prosecutor nonsense.  I'm far from a Trumpist.  Enough is enough.

Exactly.  Enough of the partisan hack leftist BS.   If they still want a special prosecutor.... then let's also appoint one to further investigate those Hillary emails AND Comey's part in that cover-up.  (two can play at that game)

But ... but ... John McCain is upset.  We can't have that, can we?

Juan McCain being upset is yet further proof that this is a very good move!

How's that Rump taste? 

You tell me.  You're the one that always seems to be focused on it!

I think the guy who's running the FBI now is the one whose wife got all kinds of money from Terry McAuliffe.


Yep McCabe...

rumplicker, rumplicker,
Lick me a rump,
Find me a find,
catch me a catch
rumplicker, rumplicker
Look through your book,
And lick me a perfect rump

rumplicker, rumplicker,
I'll bring the veil,
You bring the groom,
Slender and pale.
Bring me a ring for I'm longing to be,
The envy of all I see.

rumplicker, rumplicker,
Make me a rump,
Find me a find,
Catch me a catch,
Night after night in the dark I'm alone
So find me rump,
Of my own.

rumplicker, rumplicker,
Plan me no plans
I'm in no rush
Maybe I've learned
Playing with rumpes
A girl can get burned
So,
Bring me no ring
Groom me no groom
Find me no find
Catch me no catch
Unless he's a rumpless rump.

   At least Every once and awhile you have to admit @Weird Tolkienish Figure that our President is capable of knocking it out of the Park, maybe that blind pig/truffle thing.

If you admit i have excellent lyrical talents!

Meanwhile, back at the Clinton camp ...

"Clinton aides react to Comey firing with concern, not joy" ...

Sessions had a lot to lose in the continuing investigation into the Russian connections to the campaign.
Further, the excuse used by DT are things that occurred prior to the election.  These actions by Comey were well known to everyone prior to the election.  To use the handling or mishandling of Hillary emails as an excuse doesn't pass the smell test.
And remember too that Scammity praised Comey to the skies during the campaign.

Hey.... thanks for proving my point.  Only, it's obviously more like an obsession with you vs. merely being focused on it.   ^-^

Comey learned of firing as he addressed FBI employees in LA. TV screens in background flashed news of firing. Letter was then given to FBI.

I think the subtle (?) message there is....

engage in a partisan witch hunt on your own dime.  Not on Trumps' and not on the taxpayers'.

Never could.  He's a political hack.

IMO, he was told that "accidents happen", and "your wife and children are beautiful" directly to his face.

He went out there in July because Hillary Clinton wanted him to state...PRIOR to the Conventions...that there was no 'There', there.

He went out there the last week of October because Hillary thought she was in a bit of trouble...figuring once again, that Comey stepping out in that press conference. 

'Admitting', at the worst, to a lapse in judgment, but that nobody was hurt. (Benghazi excepted) in the handling of emails...and they found NO INTENT OF ANY WRONGDOING"

But was he a WILLING accomplice?

Never has a FBI director been so vociferously defended by a party that believes he threw a national election by going outside DOJ rules

Very possible.  I wouldn't dismiss that at all.
