To keep hope: ask yourself if A-list patriots like Clapper and Yates and Comey and Rogers would let these slouching traitors outwit them.

Not good.

This will no more save Trump than Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre saved him. Firing Comey will hasten Trump's removal. God bless America.

As discussed on air:
Remarkable that Trump cited his own potential criminal liability in the same sentence that he fired Comey in his letter

He's scrabbling.

Giuliani as FBI Director???

Ooh FUCK no. THIS rumour is WORSE!!!

Chatter that Trump wants to appoint Trey Gowdy. Trey Gowdy.

McCain has been bought. His wife is getting a high up position in Trump's admin.

Caught the end of John McCain's reaction to the Comey firing: "The president does have that authority, so I respect that."

There comes a point when 'A list patriots' have to weigh the debts they owe and the obligations they must honour.

Trey Gowdy!!!!!!

Former senior FBI official tells me: "I believe the intent here is to replace him with someone who will close" the Russia probe.

Trump has crossed an uncrossable line. A president MUST NOT EVER fire the person investigating him. The president MUST BE IMPEACHED and NOW.

Across Trey Gowdy would be a fucking nightmare! He'd reroute everyone on a hunt for HRC. He's out for her blood.

Was receiving new information when news came in. Filing under RUMINT for now: FBI has placed holds on over 50 individuals assoc w/ Trump.

Given the recent controversies surrounding the Director, I believe a fresh start will serve the FBI and the nation well.

Well what else can Cummings do?

.@SenBlumenthal just said on @CNN Rod Rosenstein did the firing on Sessions recommendation. So Rod is now tainted forever. #ImpeachTrump

Lindsey Graham's a butt-muncher!

Sure is.
