‘Completely f*cked’: Trump’s White House staff admits the Comey memo is the beginning of the end

White House aides and senior staffers admit that former FBI Director James Comey’s revelations on Tuesday are probably going to be the hull breach that sinks Donald Trump’s presidency.

“I don’t see how Trump isn’t completely f*cked,” said one senior official to The Daily Beast on Tuesday, referring to Comey’s announcement that he has kept notes of his conversations with Pres. Trump regarding requests Trump made asking Comey to back off on the investigation of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

“The former FBI director—who President Donald Trump fired and then later threatened on Twitter last week—reportedly kept notes of their conversations, and some of those details are now making their way into public view. According to one of those memos, first reported by The New York Times on Tuesday, the president urged Comey to drop the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s former national security adviser,” wrote the Beast’s Lachlan Makay, Asawin Suebsaeng and Jana Winter.

“The obstruction of justice articles of impeachment counts are stacking up, it seems,” said one FBI agent to the Daily Beast. The agent said that firing Director Comey was a “big gamble” on Trump’s part. “You’ve got to kill him, metaphorically. You can’t just wound him.”

1. Perhaps his staff will resign,

en masse. I like that idea. Leave Trump all alone in the White House, wondering what the hell he should do next. It would be ideal justice.

5. Have they found the light switches yet?

Leave 45 literally in the dark.

3. This can't go on forever.

For some reason though, I find the prospect of having "President Pence" just as frightening as drumph if not more so.

4. I personally think Pence has the stink of Russia on him as well

Time will tell.

6. Wouldn't it be crazy if trump really did have tapes?

And he offers to produce them, but there's a delay, and when he does produce them there is a gap? Or some obvious editing? It almost seems preordained at this point.
