Comey testimony recap: Saw 'letting Flynn go' as Trump order; also implicates Pence, Sessions

quote [ Today saw the long-awaited public testimony of James Comey, former FBI director, before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Comey testified as to the circumstances surrounding his firing by Donald Trump shortly after Trump requested that he drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. ]

Not like you weren't all thinking about it.

Comey has implicated Pence and Sessions. It's clear that the Republicans won't do anything about this; they're perfectly happy with obstruction of justice, collusion with a foreign power, and treason as long as it means they get to set shit on fire.

Even if the Democrats retake the House (likely), unless they also retake the Senate (not impossible but highly unlikely), impeachment isn't going anywhere yet. Better hope that Mueller finds some serious smoking guns.

Not that it matters. Justice is dead in this country.

"I helped prosecute Watergate. Comey’s statement is sufficient evidence for an obstruction of justice case."
