8. can't complete a prosecution by january 20

anyway, a vacancy would only let donnie appoint someone even worse.

plus they'd scream that it was a blatantly partisan act, and probably respond by prosecuting every democrat in sight.

10. He can already put someone in worse, he gave 25mil for defrauding students he doesn't give a shit

... about the rule of law.. or rules period.

Also, they don't have to complete the investigation just start it... in the end there wouldn't be a change in the white house but there sure in the fuck would be less legitimacy of Twitler in the American peoples eyes outside of his defenders.

The one sharp point Americans have against Twitler is we don't support him... he's the most unpopular president elect in US history ... the left is responsible for keeping it that way.

12. Or we could...you know...start recruiting 2018 candidates

And working on taking back as many seats as we can.

And working on winning as many state houses as we can.

And defending the many seats that will be up for re-election.

And start making sure we elect politicians who understand that you don't need to nominate Republican Daddies to important positions like Comey had.

And insuring that every Democratic Senator and every Democratic House member stands up firmly and strongly to Trump at every possible turn using every possible tool.


Or....you know.....not....I guess we could do that thing you suggested too.

14. First Appoint Bipartisan Select Committee to Investigate Russian Hack on Election
Tue Dec 20, 2016, 10:20 PM
Dec 2016

Such an investigation will include why the FBI didn't act more vigorously in warning the DNC that its computers and network had been compromised. That investigation will no doubt capture the naked partisanship going on within the FBI and from there, rests the potential for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Mr. Comey (I refuse to call him Director) and others associated with the memo. This is one of the numerous reasons why Mitch the Bitch is fighting so hard against a Independent Bipartisan Select Committee.

Second, we need to turn the Senate Blue in 2018 (at least) and capture as many House seats as possible. We all need to start working this now, not in Spring of 2018.

15. can you IMAGINE who Trump would choose as his replacement though?

Horrible as Comey has proven to be, I think it was more Hillary-hate than Trump-love.

Maybe he will play darth vader to trump's palpatine and bring balance to the force.

The guy who chased alberto gonzales into ashcroft's hospital room may still be lurking in there somewhere.
