The hysterical media narrative that Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey is evidence of "obstruction of justice" took several hits this week when statements from Department of Justice personnel contradicted this premise.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said "I stand by my recommendation that Director Comey be fired. There were just too many instances in which he demonstrated failure and lack of adherence to clearly defined responsibilities. I was convinced that he was not and could not be an effective leader of the FBI."
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe rebutted the notion that Trump's action to fire Comey would have any effect on the Agency's investigation of anything. "There has been no effort to impede our investigation," McCabe said. He also denied that the Russian investigation was underfunded. "The allegation that Comey could've been fired because he sought more funding is not supported by the facts."
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) asserted that "the statements by Rosenstein and McCabe cannot be taken at face value. After Trump has fired Comey an atmosphere of fear has gripped the nation. These men, regardless of their desire to do the right thing can't help but be intimidated. Their jobs, maybe even their lives might be on the line if they get crosswise with the President."
In related news, Rod Wheeler, a private investigator hired to look into the murder of DNC employee Seth Rich last July relayed some disturbing information about his inquiries. "So far the so-called official investigation has gone nowhere," Wheeler observed. "Despite making no progress on their own, DC police contacted my employers to communicate the DNC's concern about me 'snooping around' the case. One of the things that has come out is that tens of thousands of DNC emails were turned over to Wikileaks last year. This raises the possibility that Rich might have been murdered in retaliation for that. The raw facts of the murder don't support the official theory that he was killed in a robbery. None of his valuablesnot his wallet, not his watch, not his cell phonewere stolen. The unfortunate Mr. Rich is another victim in a long string of a mysterious and unsolved homicides of individuals connected to the Democratic Party."

The left really does like to project. I think Schumer nailed why the dems are so united all the time. They do so under fear of death for themselves and their families by their leadership. One helluva motivating system dems!!
Seth Rich was killed as an example for those just thinking about getting out of line.
Here's what happened to Schumer last time he gassed up.
Where’s the satire?
