4 thoughts on “Yes, Comey’s testimony was a turning point: Consider the reaction from Trump and the GOP”
I loved the moment when Gowdy asked Comey if there was an exception for reporters in the law against disclosing classified informmation. "Well, that's a little more complicated," Comey drawled. In the ensuing pause, you could almost hear him thinking, "There is an exception you knucklehead, but it's not in the law. It's in the Constitution, and it's called the Goddamn First Amendment."
As Politico’s Michael Crowley told Brian Williams on MSNBC last night:
There’s just an unwillingness [among Republicans] to hear the fundamental facts of what happened in this election. It’s a desire to tell a different story, to have a narrative that this is about leaks. And sure, that’s a valid point to raise and it’s a serious question. But relative to the idea that a foreign government interfered in our election, tried to distort our democracy, it just doesn’t compare. And I just saw so little concern about that on the part of he Republicans on that committee today. I just found it very strange.
Strange is one term for it: I'd roll with FUBAR, myself…

Can they repeal, "replace," and rewrite the tax code before the FBI busts Trump?
reduce, reuse, recycle?
I suggest Ryan just do the right thing with his plan: incinerate, landfill.
