Comey in the House: A Sweat Thread - Page 18 - Politics and Economics

What a ****ing piece of ****. Is he just trying to throw red meat at Trump supporters with his "but why aren't you investigating Clinton for Russia too?" thing?

I don't think he had any strategy, he was just demented or stroked out or something. That made no ****ing sense.

They're not going to impeach him. Every Republican is holding the line.

That went about as well as possible. No killshot which was obvious wasn't coming but that definitely goes along way to make Comey look very credible and Trump look bad which is obviously a very good thing.

Oh yeah. He's more likely to go eight years than to get impeached/removed.

He clearly went in to his line of questioning concerned only with Clinton, who this hearing wasn't about.

Then McCain with the "well what did he mean when he said 'we had that thing'? Why didn't you grill the President to find out what he meant?" Literally unable to understand (or pretending not to) that it was an incredibly awkward conversation.

I hope that the classified hearing makes them all impeach him for obstruction of justice so the special counsel can hang the whole family for treason

that was a solid showing, i particularly like how comey went into detail about why it's such a big deal that russia is trying to influence how we think/feel/act/vote and how getting to the bottom of this shouldn't be a partisan issue. his comments wrt trump's obstruction and the bolstering of his opinions by trumps own remarks/tweets were also pretty damning.
those are the talking points that need to be hammered home.

Wow, came over here to type 'holy **** McCain', saw that 50 other posters beat me to it. But I still kind of feel compelled.

Holy ****, McCain, that was ****ing incredibly sad and scary and depressing.

start treating donald trump for what he is, an assault on american institutions. that includes but also extends far beyond the scope of russia/election stuff, and ties in with a lot of different policy ideas.
