RNC's Comey Attacks Are Right out of the Dictator's Playbook

The former FBI director feared the backlash that would come if he didn’t reveal the Hillary probe. Well, he revealed it all right—and it still didn’t save him from the backlash.

When wtf moments happen at the pace they have in the age of Trump, it gets tough to sort out which outrages really matter.

When we do encounter a stand-out moment, we need to take notice. And I say we’re in one now. When future historians write the dystopian timeline of how we lost the republic under Trump, they’ll make special note of this current campaign by the Republican National Committee to smear James Comey.

If you haven’t gone to http://lyincomey.com, I suggest you do so. No; scratch that. You don’t need to. Don’t give them the traffic.

Just ponder what it means that the RNC has now gone into full Trump mode—everyone who deals with him gets dragged down to his level eventually, or drags themselves down voluntarily—in attacking a lifelong Republican and lifelong prosecutor who has spent his career doing what Republicans used to want G-men like Comey to do: put the bad guys in jail.

face RICO charges. When those "good people" have to lawyer up, the feces will collide with the rotary air moving device.

surreal parts about the Trump presidency (besides Trump/Putin). That an entire political party can jump on the conspiracy/obstruction train.
