    There's also this gem:

    He said he would do that and added, “Because I have been very loyal to you, very loyal; we had that thing you know.” I did not reply or ask him what he meant by “that thing.” I said only that the way to handle it was to have the White House Counsel call the Acting Deputy Attorney General. He said that was what he would do and the call ended.

      If there is a bombshell Comey wouldn't put it in the preview statement. But I don't expect that now from anyone but Mueller. Tomorrow will be an episode of Seinfeld.

        Agree. That reads like a capo meeting with a made-man. It makes me itch.

        But, where's the quid pro quo?

          Umm, Comey gets rid of "the cloud", he gets to keep his job. It could not be more obvious.

            While this is a great point, we also have to remember that the standard that is being used for the POTUS is different than the rest of us. Mainly- he's not going to go to court to face obstruction charges, he would face the House then Senate for the same thing. And the result IS NOT a civil penalty- it's just removal from office. So the standards are different.

            Not sure completely *how*, but it has been pointed out that this is not a civil case.

            And where it gets really odd is who is in charge- so that burden could change a lot if the houses both change in 2018.

              BTW 46k have voted early. In the actual election only 55k total voted and there is still 2 weeks left.
              I agree he should be hammering this quote for the next two weeks. It will inspire people on both sides, I think. Plenty of GOP voters who love hearing their internal dialogue said aloud

                They should be in CYA mode. Trumpy has shown that anyone and everyone is disposable, and he has no reservations about throwing someone under the bus to save his own azz.

                Everyone in that administration should be hiring a criminal defense attorney, and shutting the hell up. Or else cutting a deal.

                    It was never confirmed until now. Yeah, it was out there but you have to be very careful with assumptions nowadays. Now it's fact. He can't run. He can try lying some more but he can't do that either.

                      The obstruction is him asking Comey to stop looking at Flynn.

                          it's still not confirmed. It's just Comey saying he did.

                          To remove Trumpy from office, we're gonna need cold hard paper trails of him working with the Russians, and hopefully, surveillance footage of him wacking himself in the corner while Russian hookers are ******ing on a mattress

                            Let me ask this, and I really don't know the answer because I'm not familiar with criminal law. If I (or Trump) go to an investigator or the head of the FBI and say, "you know, there really is nothing to this whole Flynn thing, I think you should just let it go," is that technically obstruction of justice? Doesn't it take something more? Doesn't it take something like also connecting to that request the discussion with Comey about keeping his job, or his later termination? I know we have the Trump comments about why he fired Comey, so maybe they make that connection, but don't they actually need that connection?

                            If someone in Trumps position simply argues that there is nothing that Flynn did that is illegal and the investigation should be dropped, or even makes that statement to Comey but does nothing more (no threats to Comey or no actual interference in the investigation), that can't alone be obstruction, is it?
                            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                              Based on credibility it's been confirmed as far as I'm concerned. Quite frankly I could give two ****s about getting him out of office with Pence in the wings. I just want any traction on anything stopped and that's getting more and more likely every day. I also want more and more scrutiny and oversight and that's getting more and more likely every day.

                              As far as I'm concerned today and tomorrow are huge wins for the halting of American Stupidity.

                                At a minimum it's highly unethical and at this point we need some things that are left at a high ethical standard. It's Congress' job to make that happen. That becomes more and more likely every day no matter what Turtle Boy and Ryan the scumbag say.
