Merged Trump Fires Comey....

I don't think he did recuse himself. However, if he did, it will be like Session's recusal, which means it is't a recusal.

This is actually what happened in the last news account I read on the Nunes matter, a recusal with fingers crossed behind the back.

The interesting thing is that the whole collusion argument is mostly a straw man. My concern with Russians and the last election is not merely that there may have been contacts, that could have been called "collusion", but all indications are that the Russian government showed a lot of interest in that election. Why? I think that's worth knowing.

On the left, some have jumped on that whole thing with the singular goal of dumping Trump from office, but that's really a side issue. The thing under investigation is what was the extent of Russian involvement, and what was their motive.

I don't think that a concern about one excludes a concern about the other. Yeah, the motives of the Russians and how deep their involvement is are concerns that should be investigated.

The degree and willingness of the Trump administration's involvement in those goals, and the simple existence of their willingness to be involved are also worthy of investigation.

We don't have to choose one over the other. The country has the resources to manage both.

The only reason I can think of to encourage that would be to discourage the investigation of one of them.

That would warrant concern, as well.
 
Trump burns through and likely severely damages the career of yet another person on his team: Dubke, with more likely to follow:

As far as Trump is concerned, any problems must be because of others. His solution over and over again: heap the sins on them and drive them into the wilderness. Yet another wonderful trait of Trump.

My continuing advice to all- don't get involved with Trump in any way if you don't wish to end up severely damaged (and/or embarrassed) as a result.


I should add that the only person to my knowledge that Trump has axed and yet repeatedly expressed regret about it has be: Michael Flynn! The one person whose highly questionable, and apparently illegal connections with Russia are the most clearly established. Everyone else who has borne the Wraith of Trump and sent into the career wilderness (because they were unable to adequately publicly provide excuses forr Trump's madness) don't seem prey on Trumps conscience quite so much.

I just told my wife last night that I refuse to work for Trump. She knows I'm serious.

You make it sound like Trump hired you to service your wife.

Which, you know, I'm not judging. Family arrangements are your business.

I'm not so sure I made it sound like that so much as you read it like that. Which, you know, I'm not judging.

So you're not interviewing to be the next FBI Director? Apparently the job's still open.

Nope, wouldn't be prudent.
 
I look forward to Trump live-tweeting his own arrest. I'd be OK with cuffing his hands in front so his stubby fingers can turn out more spit-flecked self-incrimination.

Then give him an Etch-a-Sketch while he's in Leavenworth.

Robert Costa is not Bob Costa. Your source is confusing two different people.

Robert Costa is a political reporter for Washington Post and has recently taken over as host on PBS's Washington Week.

You meant Robert Costa is not Bob Costas. Also, Bob is short for Robert which comes in handy when you only have 140 characters to work with.
