If Obama had thrown everybody out of his office except Comey, and said "Hillary's a good gal, and she's not in Government anymore. I hope you can see your way clear to letting this (Email investigation) go now..." REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE IMPEACHED HIM IN NEW YORK MINUTE!Any Republican who is now saying " 'hope' isn't an order," "He's just inexperienced (Ryan)," or "We wouldn't have impeached a Democrat on this kind of evidence" is a F-KING BALD-FACED LIAR!
But then again, honestly...the Republican Party's greatest strength is their complete shamelessness for being obvious hypocrites. Democrats don't do this kind of thing because they still have a sense of shame. They still CARE about being embarrassed, or called out for being a hypocrite. Not so for these a-holes.
Two things I found amusing about Fox News today:
1. The 'Fox Allstar Pannel' looked extremely depressed as they rattled off their prefabricated talking points about how this completely vindicates Trump. It looked like a hostage video. and...
2. Fox has fallen into the trap of spending all day hammering on the story about Lynch telling Comey to change his talking points about the Clinton investigation. If you're going to claim that Comey's being honest about Lynch doing improper things....you've also got to claim he's being honest about Trump doing improper thing. Improper things that are a hell of a lot worse! You can't have it both ways. Anybody with half a brain would have downplayed the Lynch/Clinton/Comey thing for exactly that reason. But not these guys. They just can't resist a story that makes Lynch look bad, even if it has the effect of making Trump look WORSE!

(17,006 posts)It hinges on the fact that when it became clear to Twitler that Comey couldn't give two figs about what Twitler hoped he fired Comey in a spectacularly embarrassing manner.

Part II: When he testifies before Congress that the investigation is still going on...HE FIRES HIM.
It's not extortion when the Mafia guy says "Nice store you've got here. It'd be a shame if something happens to it." But it's extortion if the guy refuses to pay, and then his store gets burned down.
