Read Sen. Mark Warner's quote. Nail - head.

Sen. Mark Warner, the senior Democrat on the committee, issued this statement: "The administration insists there's no 'there there,' yet President Trump has so far fired the acting Attorney General, nearly every U.S. attorney, and now the Director of the FBI. In addition, this President's choice for Attorney General has been forced to recuse himself, and the National Security Advisor has resigned, as a result of undisclosed contacts with Russian officials. Now more than ever, it is vital that our ongoing investigation is completed in a credible and bipartisan way. We also need to hear directly from former Director Comey about the FBI investigation and related events."

You can run, Big Donald, but you cannot hide. We are going to get your treasonous ass.

He's trying to make himself dictator, yet repunks in Congress are sitting on their hands, oblivious to the fact that it's not if, but when, he throws them under the bus.

Saturday Night Massacre Part 2?

Hopefully this is a bridge too far for more non totally Trumpian Republicans.

Drastic measures are needed.

7. Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, and now Comey. Now recused Sessions acts against Comey.

Comey was investigating tRump "associates" for Russian connections. That would include Sessions who perjured himself to Congress about meeting Russian Ambassador, twice.

So now, Sessions recommended firing Comey and tRump said "OK".

18. Mmmm...that sounds a little complacent to me. A little mild.

But maybe he's that way.

I don't think any Republican is going to move on the investigation like an independent would, if only because THEY ARE WAITING FOR THEIR BIG TAX CUTS. They are not going to kill the golden goose, or interfere with his power, until they get their tax cuts.

Unless, and this is a big IF, they line up Pence to replace Trump and make sure Pence is on board with the tax cuts.

credibility with Burr. I think he's influencing Burr, which is what we need more than anything right now.

My senator. You go, Mark.
