Trump should never have fired
Comey. As soon as he did that he sent up a large red flare that said
'investigate me'. Firing the person in charge of the investigation was
the best way to make yourself look complicit I can think of. it was yet
another bonehead move by Trump.

@Dwight Williams Methinks
Mark Corallo and the rest of Trump's legal team shuld quit talking and
start reading my files on Meuller and Comey et al that I sent to them
back in 2015 and several times since.
For instance anyone can read page 2 of this very old file that was posted in at least two spots with Scribd long before Trump announced that he wanted to be President

""Imagine a sitting President under FBI investigation, we'd have a constitutional crisis" - Donald Trump"
Amusingly, this is yet another of the long list of lies & misinformation spread by Trump.
Watergate was a sitting President under FBI investigation. There was no constitutional crisis.
The Iran-Contra Scandal was a sitting President under FBI investigation. There was no constitutional crisis.
Whitewater was a sitting President under FBI investigation. There was no constitutional crisis.
Jones & Lewinsky was a sitting President under FBI investigation. There was no constitutional crisis.
Bush2's CIA Leak was a sitting President under FBI investigation. There was no constitutional crisis

"If Mueller does indeed find that Trump did obstruct justice, nothing will happen as the Republicans in Congress will keep on supporting Trump until his approval ratings fall below 30% and the midterm elections approach."
Criminal wrongdoing is tough to dodge around.

The legal team for U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday decried
"outrageous, inexcusable and illegal" leaks following reports that
special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating the president for
possible obstruction of justice.
The Washington Post on Wednesday, citing five people briefed on the requests who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, Mike Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency, and Richard Ledgett, the former deputy director at the NSA, had agreed to be interviewed by Mueller's investigators as early as this week.
The obstruction of justice investigation into Trump began days after former FBI director James Comey was fired on May 9, according to people familiar with the matter, the Washington Post reported.
Mueller is investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. Comey told Congress last week he believes he was fired by Trump to undermine the agency's Russia probe.
Trump's legal team quickly denounced the report on Wednesday.
"The FBI leak of information regarding the President is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal," a spokesman for Trump's legal team, Mark Corallo, said.
A spokesman for Mueller's team declined to comment.
Several legal experts told Reuters that Comey's testimony last week that Trump expected loyalty and told Comey he hoped he could drop an investigation of a former top aide could bolster obstruction of justice allegations against Trump.
Comey would not say in his testimony last week whether he thought the
president sought to obstruct justice, but added it would be up to
special counsel Mueller "to sort that out."
After Comey's testimony, Trump said he had been vindicated because his former FBI director confirmed telling Trump on three occasions that he was not under investigation.
While a sitting president is unlikely to face criminal prosecution, obstruction of justice could form the basis for impeachment. Any such step would face a steep hurdle as it would require approval by the U.S. House of Representatives, which is controlled by Trump's fellow Republicans.
The countdown to Robert Mueller's firing by Trump starts.

Trump's lawyers should finally start investigating the doings between
Mueller and Comey and I way back in 2003

@David Allan Methinks the CBC moderators just set a record with a new low within their obvious malice towards me.
First CBC allowed you to quote Mr, Pecker and Mr MacDonald Then post the following words.
"Ladies & gentlemen, here we have a fine example of the literacy of the average Trump supporter."
"Trump can't fire Mueller. He doesn't have the authority."
In response both of those comments of yours which I agreed with I tried to post just one word "True" and was promptly blocked.

Tump's lawyers and your fellow federal Canadian lawyers should go figure
why your minions within CBC would block such a word as that. Its a
small wonder why I am blogging and tweeting about this article in
particular N'esy Pas Hubby Lacroix and Minister Joly?

these liberals get some kind of sado-masochistic pleasure from
Trump-bashing, and they always repeat the same song lyrics "we are

Don't be such a snowflake about it. Your party lost. That's democracy.
You should note that your party would have more power in parliament now if we had proportional representation, which your party opposes, though the Reform Party at the root of the current CPC used to support it.

Ian Broomfield
He may be able to control his
internal monkeys, but when the big boys come out to play,that's a whole
new ball game. Bet Trump wishes he fired Mueller yesterday because NOW
he couldn't fire him no matter what. Even his base would desert him if
he did. Remember Watergate started slow, but in the end accomplished a
lot. If only Trump would quit lying and tweeting

What is it with Trump and the words "leaks" and "showers".
David Raymond Amos
@Darren MacDonald Imagine if Trump's lawyers and the FBI read my Tweets about this article
Joseph Power
If you maintain that Trump is
innocent then you should be 100% supportive of this investigation, of
Trump releasing his tax returns (like he promised he would), and
answering questions under oath. If he is truly innocent then he has
nothing to lose and absolutely everything to gain if his name is
cleared.
David Raymond Amos
@Joseph Power If Trump had
two clues between his ears he would have had his many lawyers check my
work exposing the malicious actions of the IRS and the FBI against me
since 2002.
Brent Grywinski
If Trump's lawyers are angry
about the leak of information, they should have told Trump not to demean
Comey and insult the FBI in tweets and interviews. Now this is when
things start to heat up and get very interesting. I will bet there will
be more coming information out in the next few days and weeks. Trump
could be gone before the end of the year.
David Raymond Amos
@Brent Grywinski Trust that
the circus south of the 49th is just beginning and the RCMP knows it.
Perhaps you should Google two names sometime soon. Those names are as
follows:
David Amos James Comey
David Amos James Comey
Jim Pecker
@Brent Grywinski
' they should have told Trump not to demean Comey and insult the FBI in tweets and interviews.'
So the President demeaning the FBI is justification for the FBI leaking classified information? So you're ok with the intelligence services running the country? If that''s the case then let's just get rid of the elected branches of government and have the FBI/CIA run things.

@Jim Pecker I have insulted
and demeaned Comey and his FBI cohorts on a daily basis and many times
in court since 2002 because they deserve it. Nobody has dared to call me
a liar yet and put it in writing and sign it with a real name and
address.

Of course he did it. He even told the Russians that He fired Comey because of "heat from the Russia investigation"

This will be interesting.... I
bet trump will fire Rosenstein (for not firing Mueller), Mueller (for
investigaiting trump) and maybe Sessions (for being useless to trump).

@Albert Johnson Harper was
the worst period. full stop. There is no contest in my assessment of the
corrupt PMs. The others are choir boys in comparison to Harper. On the
other end of the spectrum I believe R.B. Bennett was the best Prime
Minister Canada or any other country could have had.
