I heard a couple of minutes in the car.

He echoed one of my thoughts.

"I hope" does not mean "I order", "you shall" or "you must".

The leftist media doesn't understand basic english.

It isn't even similar. These russian investigations have been going on for months and everyone has said the accusers are full of shite. It was obvious they were full of shite to begin with. Only hacks have wanted to keep it going. An "I hope statement" when wanting to get past a ridiculous issue is not an obstruction. There would need to be real teeth of issues of the most scandalous order to even begin to possibly perceive that as some statement to obstruct.

The situations from the previous administrations were covering up items which from the onset looked devious and now have proven to be scandalous.

Don't be an idiot. An "I hope you can do blah blah blah" spoken by a the President to someone he can...and did subsequently...fire is a textbook example of attempted coercion and obstruction.

Rush made a good point while ago. He read a Jan. 23rd article from WaPo which stated that the FBI had reviewed all of the Flynn transcripts and determined he did nothing wrong. The article went on to say that Flynn was not under FBI investigation.

This was the WaPo.

But then we have Sally Yates saying Flynn was "compromised." If he was compromised, then it sure as hell had nothing to do with the wiretapped conversations.

It's been one "Breaking Major Scandal!!" after another by the Dems and complicit MSM. That's why I get a chuckle out of the people on Twitter and DU getting their hopes up of Trump being impeached. I'd feel sorry for them if I didn't relish their continual disappointment.


There are many out there, and probably more than half on DU that think if Trump were to be impeached and removed from office, that Hillary gets to become POTUS...

Is that supposed to be a joke bout Rush?

You are such a loser. Do you ever have an original thought or do you just walk around spouting liberal propaganda?



It was a confession.

I hate the "but (insert name) did it too" game. I despise, in fact.

But sometimes the hypocrisy is just so palpable that it is infuriating.

You cannot, as an honest person, be angry at Trump for this Comey thing, and also be OK with the whole Lynch/Comey/Clinton/Obama airplane situation.

When one side does things that don't even make headlines, and the other side does similar and is threatened with impeachment.

It's downright silly.

He also accurately pointed out the WaPo sources said that the probe into Flynn was concluded in january, exhonerating Flynn. After which Comey, said under oath, that the WH had not interfered with the investigation. After the alleged dinner and Comey firing, McCabe said "So there has been no effort to impede our investigation to date."

So, again... who is lying?

Yeah and he let the AG and Deputy AG make the case and evaluate his performance. There is no argument that Comey was not a complete failure. This isn't like he is some awesome employee and Trump got upset and fired him.
