It’s understandable why everyone is focused on The Greatest Show on Earth, the appearance of James Comey before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, June 8, 2017.
But barring some surprise testimony not in Comey’s prepared statement, the hearing will merely confirm “bad” news for Trump already leaked to the press – none of which rises to the level of criminality. And there are some good aspects of the testimony, including that Trump was not personally under investigation and never asserted any type of interference in the Russia probe.
While everyone was focused on Comey’s prepared statement, Trump went about his business filling vacancies in the federal judiciary.... From Washington Times: "President Trump announced a new round of 11 judicial nominations Wednesday, including three nominees for high-profile federal appeals courts.
One of the nominees, Colorado Supreme Court Justice Allison H. Eid, is being tapped by the president to fill a vacancy on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals created when Justice Neil M. Gorsuch was confirmed for the Supreme Court in April."

Awesome. This is one of the most important things he can do as president. Now if the Senate could only get a move on and get these people confirmed without all the feet dragging…
Well, here’s hoping the weak-sister Republicans in the Senate will NOT allow the RAT’s to use the “blue slip” tradition to block a single one of President Trump’s nominees.
Excellent news - thanks for posting this.

Comey ... the greatest show on Earth?
ROFL
I could care less.
I know 100% for certain Trump had ZERO to do with the Russians “hacking” voting machines or anything of that nature.
zero, zilch, nada, none, no way, no how did Trump collude with the Russians to steal the election.
I don’t care one whit what Comey has to say.
No point in such a divisive remark. The Senate has performed admirably wrt to judicial nominees and there is no reason to think it will not continue.
The President runs on a power higher than any leftist lie or insult can shake
He’s picked them, but will the wimps in the Senate give them the job? We don’t win until they have their butts in the chair.
Comey is one big fat nuttin BURGAH! ...
It’s early. You’re trusting the ‘RATS entirely too much. Time will tell whether they’ll attempt to use the “blue slip” process to block some of Trump’s conservative judicial nominees. They have in the past so that they could have those nominations pulled and replaced with more “friendly” (to democrats) nominees.
If the ‘RATS begin to attempt to do that, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee (Grassley) will need to squash it immediately.
“President Trump announced a new round of 11 judicial nominations Wednesday”
...and a new FBI Director.
Yuge.
How ‘bout this. We gofundme a “gift” to Putin in exchange for which he’ll allow some flunky to casually imply collusion. Then, while the dems are looking at the shiny objects...
I want him to say (or tweet):
"I stole the election all by myself, by telling the truth to the American People."
They can babble about Russia for 4 or 8 years.
Who gives a ####.
Meanwhile Trump is getting it done and the people don’t give a #### about this Russia nonsense.
I bet his base today is at 60 percent.
Sessions actually seems to be his most productive and conservative cabinet member.
If only Trump would turn his ire to the likes of McMaster instead...
