WOW. I'm shocked.

You've already made the big common mistake- you forgot to maintain the pretense of the accussation.

Comey is clearly going to be the big loser here. By the time it's all over the true extent of his corruption will be revealed.

With so many people feeling so strongly about this there's gotta be plenty of opportunity to put together bets without having to pay the sites vigs.

What odds would you need to get in order to bet on, say, him being impeached or resigning within his 4 year term?

I think impeachment proceeding would be very bad for the Left and probably end our Republic. No opposition party in Congress would ever do anything again. You think we have gridlock now? Ha! That would be nothing compared to impeachment.

But what's the line you (or mong, or anyone) is willing to bet on? Like, maybe you think it's a 10% chance it'll happen, but you'll only pay out 4:1 implying a 20% chance so you can make a nice profit.

I'm sure some people would take the other side of the bet (if it's close to being contentious), and it wouldn't be hard to find a reputable person to do the escrow.

That's not "this forum", but even there I'm really not seeing it. Maybe there are a few people, but plenty of people still think it's unlikely:

I actually agree with this, solely based on the numbers. There's no way the Dems get 65 +2 in the Senate before 2020, and nothing short of that ever convicts Trump.

So, basically the exact opposite of "the vast majority are predicting impeachment at any moment now"

I guess I incorrectly lump the Political forums here together, sorry.

I could easily pick out as many post's saying the opposite. Especially after the mid-term predictions. One post is even predicting a 95% certainty for impeachment after the independent counsel report.

A vast majority is probably a little strong, but no doubt there are more saying that an impeachable offense has been 100% committed.

Maybe we will need to re-evaluate the betting line after the mid-terms or after the IC report.

You're not talking about this post, are you?

I don't think I see any other posts talking about a 95% chance of impeachment, and obviously this one comes with a pretty big "if". I think you're wrong that you "could easily pick out as many posts saying the opposite".

This is more reasonable, but obviously there's a vast gulf between committing an impeachable offense and actually being impeached.

Trump not under investigation re: Russia. No obstruction of justice.

Comey could be in trouble for leaking.

Still no one willing to humor any kind of a bet? Pay 4:1 that he gets impeached/resigns in this term and you'll get all the action you want.

What's the equivalent for comey? Indictment for what?

Like, Comey testified that Trump pressured him to drop the Flynn investigation and that's no big deal, or even "exoneration" to you guys, but Lynch pressuring Comey to use a different word has you tingling with excitement?

Trump pressuring flynn as the president is different from a supposedly impartial attorney general working for the dnc. One is bad decorum and the other is probably illegal?
