And all this is coming for the man who criticized Obama for not not being transparent.

 

Tax records, Flynn, Comey, and now the American media is excluded from the WH visit, while the Russian media is given unfettered access to the event.

 

Putin must be proud. He trained Trump very, very well. LOL.

 

Seriously, this is the worst person to occupy the Oval office in the history of this country. He has by far outdone Nixon and Bush Jr.

Bharara:

As a matter of math, infinitely more evidence Comey fired for Russia investigation (some), than there is evidence Trump was wire tapped (zero).

 

😯

Nice try.  Susan Rice and Evelyn Farkas all but said they were watching the Trump team (for political reasons I assume), and this can be done without physical wiretaps.

This must be fake news, cause it doesn't fit the Trump agenda.

WASHINGTON — By the end, neither of them thought much of the other.

After President Trump accused his predecessor in March of wiretapping him, James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, was flabbergasted. The president, Mr. Comey told associates, was “outside the realm of normal,” even “crazy.”

For his part, Mr. Trump fumed when Mr. Comey publicly dismissed the sensational wiretapping claim. In the weeks that followed, he grew angrier and began talking about firing Mr. Comey. After stewing last weekend while watching Sunday talk shows at his New Jersey golf resort, Mr. Trump decided it was time. There was “something wrong with” Mr. Comey, he told aides.

The collision between president and F.B.I. director that culminated with Mr. Comey’s stunning dismissal on Tuesday had been a long time coming. To a president obsessed with loyalty, Mr. Comey was a rogue operator who could not be trusted as the F.B.I. investigated Russian ties to Mr. Trump’s campaign. To a lawman obsessed with independence, Mr. Trump was the ultimate loose cannon, making irresponsible claims on Twitter and jeopardizing the bureau’s credibility.

The White House, in a series of shifting and contradictory accounts, first said Mr. Trump decided to fire Mr. Comey because the attorney general and his deputy recommended it. By Wednesday, it had amended the timeline to say that the president had actually been thinking about getting rid of the F.B.I. director as far back as November, after he won the election, and then became “strongly inclined” after Mr. Comey testified before Congress last week.

For public consumption, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House spokeswoman, said on Wednesday that Mr. Trump acted because of the “atrocities” committed by Mr. Comey during last year’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email. But in private, aides said, Mr. Trump has been nursing a collection of festering grievances, including Mr. Comey’s handling of the Russia investigation, his seeming lack of interest in pursuing anti-Trump leaks and the perceived disloyalty over the wiretapping claim.

It's a typical NYT attack on Trump's persona and nothing else (the kind of stuff the left drools at).. what about this is validating to you re: the legality of this dismissal, or how this is akin to watergate? 

 

tfw people can't even see the strings they're being puppeted around on.

 

I will reiterate my admiration for the NYT in turning the ship around to business success. Their credibility was already suspect before, playing the social justice card to get left readers to jump on their personality bashing fest ("identity politics" as Bill puts it) is now their bread and butter.for sucking the left in to read this trivial garbage and think it amounts to anything.

 

For the left, it's like, the more you get told you're being illogical, the harder you try, and the further out in left field you go seeking validation for these comical views.

Rosenstein threatening to quit because of how the WH tossed him under the bus? I always knew he was a smart guy, but he'd be a lot smarter if he threatened to pull out before taking part in this little charade. Get out while you can man.

its funny i've a boss that goes about things the same way trump does, if he wants to fire someone he has others (not even necessarily superiors) write up correspondence detailing reasons the soon to be fired person sucks. then, he'll directly quote this correspondence in the actual firing. this way, he feels he's not the one firing and he can always maintain that it was not his decision or necessarily what he wanted but had to act to appease other employees that complained.

Throw in a bad toupee, smear some Chetos on his face, and he could become the supreme leader's doppelgänger.
