His conclusion at the above link:

"There is only one reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from the decision to fire Comey: that there is grave wrongdoing at the center of the Russia scandal and that it implicates the President. As I write this, I have a difficult time believing that last sentence myself. But sometimes you have to step back from your assumptions and simply look at what the available evidence is telling you. It’s speaking clearly: the only reasonable explanation is that the President has something immense to hide and needs someone in charge of the FBI who he believes is loyal. Like Jeff Sessions. Like Rod Rosenstein."

1. NONE of the Republicans involved have any idea...

of the gravity of the facts that are already known.

2. It is a matter of time, we will all be aware of the gravity of the facts.

Gradually everyone will understand how dangerous this move was and why Marshall has said what he said in the paragraph that I quoted. And this is for sure, if Marshall is thinking this, he is not the only one. Even some Republicans will come to the same conclusion.. There is no other honest conclusion to be made. (now some will come to "other conclusions" but, those will fall away. Trump did what he did, for the exact same reason as Nixon did. To save his ass......

3. "To save his ass......"

And, if it's true that many indictments have already been handed down, it's possible that the asses of Jared and Ivanka need covered, as well.

4. Yes...because in Trump's view,they all need to be saved.

But it could be too late. This firing by Trump, exposes him in ways he could not have imagined. The timing is unbelievable ...Not informing the head of the FBI personally, also unbelievable, that he should find out on TV..well that is what happens.
