We already knew that one reason Comey personally briefed the president was that the allegations in the report were personally embarrassing. That doesn't make them real. it's a meme, goons are bad at humor

I don't think the specifics of Comey not naming Trump in the wider Russian investigation will matter that much; the media will latch onto the easier-to-yell story of Trump trying to spike the Flynn investigation and the public isn't going to split hairs between the investigations. (nor should they; it's all connected and he should go down for every bit of it.)

JohnCompany posted:Because people who are informed about false embarassing charges about themselves don't tend to independently raise those allegations and dispute them without having been asked specifically months later. The March 30 phone call, when Trump says he wasn't involved with Russian hookers specifically and without prompting, is really out of place otherwise. This was just before the media was about to report on the dossier. Of course Trump was gonna Trump about it.

Serious question: how are we even somewhat certain that this conference won't be a nothing burger? Won't just be Comey going "I can't comment on that" or "it's classified."

Because we already know what he's going to say thanks to the prepared remarks and it does in fact include some juicy stuff. He could answer every question after those remarks by quoting a line from Baby Got Back and it'd still be pretty juicy.

my only hope is that when they release the pee tape that the identity of those poor women is hidden not joking. can you loving imagine being implicated in something so dumb on such a scale, your name forever emblazoned in every historical document from the dumbest era in human history as one of the women who peed on a bed for money from a man who would become the president. ugh.

Of course there should be a difference in terms of legal actionability, but A. he's talking to republicans, so public opinion is still the only thing that matters, and B. there's nothing new in terms of content, so there's no way to get to "pisstapes are real." There's A1 sauce on the bun but still no burger.

Either that or they were Russian agents and have been given the Order of Zombie Lenin to keep them quiet. If Putin's quite happy to kill off wealthy and influential dissidents in foreign countries, I doubt he would lose any sleep over a couple of prostitutes.

I mean, what the gently caress do you want? Initiating impeachment becomes possible if the Democrats take over the House, and/or Trump drives the GOP's overall approval so far into the shitter that it threatens the congressional Republicans' own re-election chances. Neither is certain, but both look more likely every day as Trump continues to try to do a Watergate speedrun. An ongoing avalanche of scandals dramatically increases the odds of the Republicans in general and Trump in particular being hosed in the 2018 and 2020 elections. You aren't going to get an instant gratification moment out of this. Watergate took a couple years to play out, and that was with a Democratic congress already in place.
