Not waiting for IG to report back says WH & Sessions don't actually care about having an objective investigation into emails b4 acting. 3/
Not waiting for IG makes claim that WH is firing Comey for not following policy less credible. Could have signaled IG result mattered. 4/
In not caring for objectivity makes it more likely real motive is political, and trying to stymie investigation into #TrumpRussia 5/
It also means that HPSCI, New FBI Dir investigating #TrumpRussia have credibility problems to conclude investigation. 6/
It points the need for a #TrumpRussia independent counsel who is above reproach. Few options for that. 7/
#TrumpRussia is an investigation into into how a campaign was compromised by a hostile foreign power, & we don't know enough to close. 8/
