I'll put $5 on "fire him and charge him for leaking." The purges begin. The blowback will be impeachment.

From an earlier post on du talking about something Andrea Mitchell said
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8843736

That she hears that there are Whitehouse staff people purging their phones of tweets and messages because they are afraid that they will be subpoenaed.

12:55 on MSNBC- "From single source...former transition team members purging .." I wanted to be precise. Just went back and rewatched this.

Wonder what is up now. It's a thrill-ride any day I have time to follow the news, now, I tell you. No such thing as a "non-news day" anymore.

Mar 2017

The white house has to be busy calling members as fast as they can, and Comey walks in the door? There's no way this is a normal meeting. Probably too soon for frog marches, though I think the reported "purging of messages" might force his hand soon.

50 cents says he'll be fired. The other 50 cents says that 45 will be arrested. Hah. The other 50 cents says he'll blow a lot of smoke and mirrors. And yeah, I did the math.

So, you're even at a buck.

Comey can't arrest the President of the United States. Can't be done. Period. End of story.

Perhaps we're about to find out what the Friday news dump is going to be.

If Comey went over there to show Trump the evidence he has on him and his sycophants, it may trigger thoughts of resignation.

"Mr. President. It is my duty to inform you that we have assembled irrefutable evidence of collusion between you, your campaign, and the Russian effort to disrupt the 2016 election. I just wanted to give you a head's up that I will be handing over all of that evidence to the Justice Department and the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. You may wish to consider your options, based on this. Good day, Mr. President."

[Drops heavy packet of papers on Oval Office desk and walks out.]

Unless he has a press conference saying that he's out and an independent prosecutor should be appointed.

It's gonna be interesting for the next few hours I think.

before too long. Maybe.

Maybe he could do an impromptu news conference. I'm sure there are news folks with cameras somewhere nearby.
