1. Tough for democracy to get a fair shake when the top cop

likes picking the president

2. Pretty telling.

3. I wonder what the threat is to him

The Trump admin is like a crime mob. Frankly, I'm surprised pivotal characters have not mysteriously died. So is Comey doing this because he's all on board with Russia being the super power in the world? Maybe he's like dumpy and believes Russia and the US will make great world power partners Or is he doing this to save his own bacon? Maybe threats to him, his family, his career? Maybe Russia has some "information" on Comey that would be embarrassing or even illegal if it gets out.

5. Pivotal characters?

Like the unexpected deaths of seven Russian diplomats in the last six months?

They can't kill the folks that are still pulling the strings until they don't need them anymore.

6. I'm thinking here in the US

Will Flynn ever turn to save himself? If so, could he be found mysteriously dead? Investigative journalists?

I bet Trump wishes he could off people as easily as Putin does.

8. If the Americans started showing up dead, the gig would be over.

I'm sure it's in the plans somewhere down the line though.

4. Repukes

Rather be traitors than do their damn jobs.

Gop... dedicated to keeping women as maids only in the white house since ....forever.

7. What do you expect?

Hillary was a threat to the GOP that they needed to take down fast. tRump is only a threat to the world, not them, so they can diddle around taking their time.

9. They assigned many agents when they looked for emails in Weiner's computer.

They put a lot of agents for that to get it done quickly.

So saying they assign fewer to the Russia problem is misleading.

In the article I read, the number they have now on Russia probe is normal.

There are enough things to be upset about regarding all this. But this particular aspect doesn't hunt if you look at the actual facts.

10. Merci!

I was just going to make this point. The CNN article puts this in the proper context.
