If Senate Republicans rubber stamp a Trump lackey to replace Comey and don't appoint a special counsel, we'll know Rome has fallen. 2/

Trump, with Jeff Sessions and his deputy's help, may have just took a huge step toward putting himself beyond the reach of law. 3/

Blimey - watching this unfold with stunned amazement. Yes, Flynn will talk - but presumably he can't now access the classified documents to back up what he says. I hope he's got a good memory.

Excuse me for being rather dim. But what is Comey's game? First he sunk Hilary's boat. Then he starts to go for Trump.
Perhaps he is just sincere and those were the issues that appeared before him
