It's just business. Like W and Iraq.

I like having him up there where I can watch him, don't you...?

Wrong! Trump is NOT above the law. He cannot fire the FBI director because he doesn't like where that investigation is going which is precisely what he did. This is not rocket science folks. And then turn around invite our enemy (Russian government officials) into the Oval Office and say all that pressure has been removed because Comey is now gone. Mueller is there because of Trumps own actions. Bannon said so himself. That firing is probably Trumps biggest blunder thus far and there have been tons of them.

It was a huge blunder and everyone knows it.

There's a reason why Trump can't retain any halfway decent legal counsel. Any attorney who knows what's what, knows he's playing a losing hand.

Some seem to think that capitalizing words make them true.

Sadly, no.

The FBI are not Trump's employees.

I really think Donnie mocking Bannon is going to be worse for him than firing Comey in the long run. Bannon has no loyalty now, unless he forsees a time when he can milk the Trump cow again. If not, he and Mueller stand to be very chummy friends before much longer.

That, and his history of not paying the hired help.

Well, there's that too.

Also, he is not known for following the advice of his legal counsel.

It's a simple fact. Read the statute. See! I can do it, too! And that's one more!

Since the President has the legal power to pardon, there is nothing the President can do that would prevent anyone from being punished in accordance with the law. He cannot "influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice" because it is his right to decide what the due administration of justice is.

On the Shutdown thread, there's someone posting about how reading comprehension is a liberal trick.

I'm not kidding.
