The GOP will do anything Trump wants from the way it looks. They are OK with Comey being gone. And they will confirm even the most egregious FBI director. Because they are after TOTAL POWER AND CONTROL. We are witnessing a coup by the GOP so they cannot be challenged. They want an FBI loyal to GOP causes.

(14,276 posts)Trump is not convinced their plan will work. His minions are assuring him, but his actions clearly indicate he is brimming with guilt and doubt.

(3,077 posts)He doesn't have a conscience or soul so I don't think he can grasp the concept of guilt. But his paranoia definitely feeds doubt.

(9,674 posts)That the floodgates that will open thereafter will obviate any counteraction by the newly-named FBI Director.
Trump-Russia has a life of its own. It lives through the intelligence agencies both inside and outside the USA. The consistent leaks prove it. Trump has attempted to thwart every incoming volley by dismissing key personnel. But the prevailing forces will not allow that to happen. If all else fails, we will be treated to video, audio, and/or written proof of RICO violations, obstruction of justice, and Russian collusion via leaks.
Trump has pissed off the wrong people: the press and the IC. His scare tactics may work in his former private rich man thug life, but he fugged up. The moment he won the presidency, he began to lose his freedom. Prison awaits him, and the feds are licking their chops over the potential asset seizure that will take place in the not-so-distant future.
