Outside of the accusation of lying and the assertion that Russia hosed with the election (which we've heard about a million times now), I'm tremendously flaccid

Remember that this is now being said by Comey himself while under oath in front of Congress. That's what's big.

Four years unless Congress flips entirely. I doubt his health will let him hang on for the full eight.

It's not a bad line of attack since he's proven that that's what he'll do when ordered to do something illegal.

He's making the point that whatever Trump was asking of Comey wasn't serious because Comey had this previous incident where Comey did write up a letter of resignation for Bush and didn't do that with Trump.

It's a decent point but Comey was also investigating Trump's campaign so any actions or requests Trump made of him regarding it would also be worth cataloging, not resigning over.

I'll say it: I don't believe that Trump himself had any involvement with the Russia hack.

I firmly believe that his subordinates were involved, but the old man himself either had no direct knowledge or it has leaked through the holes in his brain.

He has complete knowledge of it, but I don't think he personally met with anyone outside of Putin back in the pisstape days. he's absolutely running the illegal poo poo through his underlings but he has full knowledge of what they're doing. he's still micromanaging his personal businesses through his son. that's the way he works.

That's called "insulation" in the mob world.

Cmon dude. You've seen how Trump handles himself in public settings. Do you really think he could coordinate a multi-national conspiracy, through subordinates or otherwise, to influence the American election? Trump is either incredibly nefarious or maliciously stupid. He can't be both.

I get "insulation" and all that poo poo, but this is a dude who can't keep his story straight in the same paragraph, let alone over a yearlong investigation.

Look, he's definitely trying to run interference on the investigation, but he's doing it in the same hamfisted way that a person who gets their news from "Fox & Friends" would. Do you think he's really that canny? I don't.

I think Russia was just smart enough to know that Trump would be an easy pawn. But if you're that easy of a pawn you should be impeached anyway.

Nothing. You discredit Comey, get him to say Trump wasn't under investigation and that Trump never directly ordered the investigation to end, Fox News and Breitbart do the rest.
