1. Yeah, pretty dim bulb ya got there....nt

[LOL Lib]

4. She is a scab on the ass of all good women.

Her hick affect makes me cringe and I grew up in Tennessee!

[LOL Lib]

2. They admit to obstruction

FML! When will this insanity end?

[herding cats]

6. Don't worry. She'll retract that statement come tomorrow.

She's nothing if not inconsistent.

[True Dough]

13. "I hadn't consulted with the president when I made that statement."

I didn't know whether I had the green light to openly confess that we're oh so underhanded!"

[Honeycombe8]

23. She has since learned the real alternate facts she was supposed to be using. nt

[Sparkly]

3. How many explanations is this now?

1. Because Comey was unfair to Hillary Clinton.
2. Because Rosenstein recommended it.
3. Because they want to hurry up and finish the Russian investigation "with integrity." (So Comey was slowing it down?)

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. And Comey was a showboat.

Oh, and he committed atrocities .

[dixiegrrrrl]

37. That "showboat" thing is Trump's insecurities and ego.

Back in Jan. he met with Comey, in front of some other people, a video captured the moment.
That was when Trump gave Comey that now infamous hug and handshake, and then Trump, as if he were joking "you are getting to be more famous than I am".

It was no joke to Trump. His ego will not allow someone else to have any of the spotlight.
and THAT is the showboat reference.

Haven't figured out the atrocities unless refusing to bow to the Trump-king is one of them.

[gratuitous]

22. The train had a flat tire

An old friend came in from out of town.

I had to wash my hair.

He was really sick! I mean, President Trump must have thrown up a gazillion times.

He had to visit his ailing mom in the hospital.

IT WASN'T OUR FAULT!!!!

[Honeycombe8]

24. Add: Trump was always going to fire him, he told Holt. nt

[Ilsa]

28. "Because my turd sank instead of floated in the golden toilet."

Because it was the second Tuesday in an odd-numbered month that didn't end in an "r".

Because the fish in the tank turned right instead of left when it swam up to the glass.

[NastyRiffraff]

5. I've never seen anything like this

NOTHING anyone in this administration says has any credibility at all. Nothing.

[Amaryllis]

15. Rachel has been saying for months now, watch what they do, not what they say, because what they say

is worth nothing.

[CousinIT]

7. Minimum six excuses in less than 2 days...

...and they keep coming up with them. Chances are, NONE of them is the truth, which we already know is that Comey was getting too close to the truth about Trump's collusion w/ Russia to "win" the 2016 election (ie: treason) and likely his money laundering as well.

[Docreed2003]

8. "With integrity!"

Lmmfao!!!!!!!!

[L. Coyote]

9. 'Mr Comey was fired because he was leading an active investigation that could bring down a president

[WinkyDink]

10. Interpretation: Trump will make the next guy swear to DROP THE INQUIRY.

[tomp]

36. just like gorsuch...

...anyone who accepts the position after the firing of comey isn't qualified for the position.

[MindPilot]

11. This is even more prolific than the excuse generator for starting the Iraq war.

[Enoki33]

30. The whole Russia/trump sellout started when trump had to find

alternative sources of financing for his businesses. It is possible Comey was following that money trail that almost certainly will expose money laundering that could cost trump a good chunk of his empire in addition to all the other illegal activities involved. Was Comey thinking of having the FBI dig into trump's tax returns also?. The one thing we know for sure is that a coverup is in process, and that can only mean trump and his cabal are scared as hell

[LuckyLib]

31. Yes. Because of money laundering through real estate and casinos, illegal investments by

Russians currying influence in the US, borrowing money from Russian oligarchs, interference in the 2016 election. All connected, all part of the same game. What's so interesting is that the Trumpsters had no clue that they could get nailed for this, even once he was in the WH.
They never imagined he would win in November. Oops! Now everything is up for scrutiny!

[Hestia]

38. Watched part of Meet the Press yesterday - Chuck Todd asked about the LLC's who run/own all

Drumpf's golf course's. Oh yeah, he was talking to Graham about the money trail. Todd was saying that the investigation, so far by NBC, all roads lead to LLC's, which of course are secret as to who is involved in the LLC, and Drumpf's tax returns would not reflect those LLC's. Todd asked if they would be subpoenaing LLC's for their returns on top of the tax returns. Graham of course gave a non-answer but I think he was caught off guard by the question.

12. Reason #426 and counting

[nocalflea]

14. Minus "With integrity" - a truthful statement.

Way to let your honesty shine, Sarah.
Truly love these little nuggets of truth-box 'em in and they have no place to go,"alternate facts"case in point. C.Todd checked Kellyanne and the truth came out.

[NewRedDawn]

17. Jesus does not like liars

Sarah. You fake Christian fucker.

[nocalflea]

18. And the democrats are the hypocrites.

[DefenseLawyer]

16. "Morons... I've got morons on my team." - Strother Martin.

[zentrum]

20. Oh. So they feel the fix

...is in now that Comey is gone.

"Wrap it up quickly" seems code for that plan. McCabe or whomever will do the "probe', "find nothing" and it's done. Everything looking clean.

[NCTraveler]

21. Kick. Nt

[benld74]

25. With integrity U mean

Large % of administration

Does the perp walk

Outta the people's house

Then yes

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Thanks for the confession!

Your honesty most appreciated, and a revelation to all for sure.

[Blaukraut]

27. They're like the stupid bad guys in cartoons and movies

Too dumb to be evil and dastardly.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Just shake the Magic 8-Ball
