Does the political class know the Russia investigation will go forward without Comey?

Or does that even matter because it's all about "optics"?

Something is seriously off in all the hysteria about the Comey firing. Try to follow the logic with me now:

The media/left/political class/Democrats wants us to believe that all the stated reasons for the firing were an obvious distraction, and the real reason Trump fired Comey was to head off the Russia investigation. There was even a story in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal reporting that Comey had been getting daily briefings on the matter, and that he was becoming concerned about evidence there was indeed some collusion.

Why is there even a russia investigation? Because kids at 4Chan played a practical joke?

I swear I have no idea what the liberals think they will find in any such “Russia investigation.”

What do they really think happened? That Trump orchestrated and directly conspired with Putin to hack into John Podesta’s e-mail account (cleverly and ingeniously secured with the password of p@ssword), disseminate largely banal communications via Wikileaks that somehow influenced millions of voters in working class swing states to vote for him? And for this Trump will give Putin ???

Is there something I’m missing?

The leftists had to invent a Russian connection to keep pedogate from becoming front page news. There is no other explanation as to why the Farce is still in our faces.

With the reasoning side of my brain I must ask - how could the Russians possibly have subverted the election against Hillary when she most successfully did that herself by getting all the Bernie voters mad as hell to where they preferred to vote for Trump?

The lamestreamers are gonna keep digging that hole until they hit China, another country they can implicate in Hillary's loss if need be.

Really? So Trump didn’t shut down the whole FBI?

No, it doesn’t matter, because the optics are the most important factor to the liberals.

Whenever there is a conflict between the facts of a situation and the liberal narrative of what’s going on, the liberal narrative is the story which will be reported by the media and pushed by the Democrats.

That is what some of them are afraid of, and now Comey won’t be there to cover for them.

The noise is to brainwash the lofo TV audiences. It is effective and will continue until they find a new drum to pound.
