If you didn't know better, youd think House Republicans were trying to sink President Trump.
We had the fake unmasking scandal, including a clandestine visit to the White House by Rep. Devin Nunes. It turned out to be a dud, revealing that Nunes was a dull-witted cohort of the president.
Then came the Nunes memos. Hey, well create a scandal by pretending that the Justice Department and the FBI lied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court about the origins of the Steele dossier!
Then the dopiest idea of all threaten to subpoena the James B. Comey memos and then charge Rod Rosenstein with contempt when he refuses. Did it dawn on them that he would hand them over and that they would match almost identically with everything Comey has said or written? Apparently not. This crowd has blown itself up more times than Wile E. Coyote.
Bob Goodlatte, Trey Gowdy and Nunes, for reasons known only to them, thought the memos release would be helpful to Trump. Wrong.
To the contrary, Comeys attention to detail and perspicacity bolster his own credibility. It is all there the presidents rambling monologues, obsession with the alleged pee tape, attempts to lean on Comey to let Michael Flynn off the hook, demands for loyalty and so on.
Unrelated to the Russia investigation but equally interesting is Trumps obsession with leakers and his expressed desire to lock up reporters.
Release of the memos confirm (at least) four things: Trump tried to lean on Comey in inappropriate ways designed to interfere with the normal operation of the criminal-justice system; Trump is every bit as irrational and unhinged in private as we suspect; Trump is frightened that the salacious dossier allegations might be proved true; and Trump cares not at all about protecting American democracy.

Comey will go down with the rest of them. It has already started and nothing will change that.
Soon as I saw her name I knew it was a ridiculous article.
Notice how they harass Trump with the dossier, then say he’s “obsessed”with it.
This woman is a fraud. Terrible “conservative” and foolish
“”To the contrary, Comeys attention to detail and perspicacity bolster his own credibility.””
Isn’t that what she said?
Incredible that he wrote the same things down that he’s been saying makes it all true now! Is that how her brain works?
Let’s make sure someone tracks her so we’ll know where she is when she has to eat crow for dinner!
Agreed. She’s a plant. Calls herself “conservative” but clearly is nothing of the sort.
The memo reinforces the idea that Comey was trying to blackmail the President.
Proggie women...arghhhhhhh.
Who the Hell is Marvin Stinson?
Rubin is deranged and has been for some time.
>>> We had the fake unmasking scandal <<<
Fake? The unmasking scandal hasn’t been fully uncovered yet, and is sure to indict senior Hussein officials including the former president himself. Jennifer Rubin is just displaying the anti-Trump bias shared by most of the DC Swamp dwellers - folks like McConnell, Flake, McCain, Ryan etc.
Agreed. Shes a plant. Calls herself conservative but clearly is nothing of the sort.
A hallmark of proggies is their deceitfulness. They do taqiyya just like muzzies. A proggie praising perspicuity is like an slut praising chastity.
Good.
I need one of them thar Washington Posts for my dog in the front yard...
In the history of this rotten affair this has to be the most fatuous article written. The whole damned DOS/FBI hierarchy is going down thanks in large part to the Republicans in the House.
So when Comey, a known liar with a vendetta against Trump, writes something on paper that can’t be verified we are all supposed to believe it? This is absolutely laughable.
The more detail, the bigger the lie. If Comey’s notes are full of detail it’s likely he is using his imagination to fill in the blanks of his memory. He was not recording things as they happened. He did it at a later time. Unless Comey possesses a perfect eidetic memory, it’s impossible to have that good of recall hours or days later. IMO, Comey wrote the notes as a weapon against Trump to be used when the time was right, not as a record of the meeting.
“Soon as I saw her name I knew it was a ridiculous article.”
Me too. Her credibility is next to zero in my book.
