Very interesting.

if Comey asked Boente to "leak" them given that Comey is about to go on a book tour and will be on 20/20 this coming Sunday.

an inappropriate question. The entire FBI (and the CIA, NSA, etc) were insulted by Trump before he was even sworn in. The entire Justice Department (other than Sessions) is working together to build the most airtight case in history. They have to get it right because the stakes are huge. They are taking down the President of the United States! Firing Mueller would just be another count of obstruction of justice at this point. The investigation has a life of its own now, and it will continue unhindered if Mueller is fired.

there was a strategy here that ensured that a large number of GOP in Congress were sucked into the conspiracy, thus guaranteeing their silence while they came to a complete standstill in terms of investigating and acting to stave off the criminality. And with that strategy they can later laugh and point at Democrats should we take over, and propagandize (like they have already started) about how we should "move on" and not carry through with enforcing the rule of law.

The only strategy I've seen on the GOP side has been unmitigated greed and abuse of power. They all felt untouchable. They committed fraud and treason with impunity and got overconfident, as crooks often do when they've been getting away with murder for so long. The Justice Department is in motion, has built an enormous amount of momentum, and will roll over anyone who gets in the way of their investigation. At some point, it will be every man for himself when they start scrambling to cut a deal and stay out of jail. It won't be a pretty sight. Boehner got out in time, and he's shilling for the marijuana industry now...

You got that right and he's laughing his ass off with ciggy in one hand and drink in the other!

(and I did see that article about him and the MJ board )
