    Trump fired Comey.

    Let's not get into the weeds here.

    Trump made this decision and it was obstruction of justice.

    If you or I ever lied to the FBI we'd still be in jail on a felony conviction.

    I see felonies as a good reason for going after the perp. I'm not for letting people slide with a felony.

    I agree that Trump's action was obstruction of justice but I know very well that Mueller had nothing to do with it and I'm almost positive that DaLincolnJones was thinking of Resenstein. I didn't say that Rosenstein was the ultimate reason for the firing just that Jones meant to say Rosenstein. In other words, Jones was searching for Rosenstein and not me.

    That is not getting into the weeds, hahaha, it was Muellers report showing cause, it was Muellers request for action that Trump acted on. That is how Mueller got the job as acting head at the time.

    No. Not true.

    You're confusing Mueller with Rosenstein.

    dang it, you are correct sir..see what happens when I try to go off memory, rather than look something up . Should have remembered that Rosenstein and Rat both start with R.

    Anyway...as you have aided in correcting my faulty memory, we have the same result. Both were fired with cause.

    It's not my job to investigate.

    Mueller is doing a fine job of that already.

    Yep, I've always counseled people to double check. It got me in trouble twice professionally. Yet, I still fall in that trap every once in a while. I attribute it to being human.

    Trump fired Comey, correctly for Obstruction of Justice, Perjury, Misuse of Office, Leaking Classified Info...

    As was his duty as President.

    Next for Comey should be a long stint in prison.

    Sounds like you are describing Trump. When will he go to prison?

    It's been over a year and a half and I haven't even heard of a Comey investigation let alone indictment. When is that coming? Any day now?

    One juror prevented Manafort from being guilty on all 18 counts. Seems like it could be a slam dunk if they want to retry him on all the other accounts. The key is, he wasn't found innocent on any count. but our president describes him as a good guy. Go figure
