But now nashville11 , Trump will put one of his cronies in there and suddnely the investigation will go bye bye. I'm afraid we will never get a real conclusion now.

I have no love for Comey but the FBI will now be a big joke. The only thing BLOTUS is capable of is firing people ---he thinks he's still on the Apprentice.

No way am I buying he is firing Comey because of Hillary. Nope, he's got some sleazy scheme up his sleeve. I agree he will put one of his cronies in place, but I never had any hope of the FBI doing anything worthwhile in the Russia investigation. I think that's totally going to have to be on the shoulders of investigative journalists who are hungry for a Pulitzer and want to be the next Woodward and Bernstein. And I am hoping that this will force the appointment of a special prosecutor. Certainly it is going to make it more difficult for Rs to oppose the appointment of one.

This may require us to dust the bench off. Linda, do you have it stored in your potting shed?

Joyce, the bench is out...I just dusted it off & planted some Geraniums beside it...đ Andy Borowitz...... Nixon fired the people investigating him in 1973. He was ousted in 1974. So things are on track. bit.ly/2lhSS4Z

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)âVice-President Mike Pence has issued the following message to the American people:
Dear American People,
What with all the hoopla and hullabaloo of Inauguration Week, we didnât really get a chance to get to know each other. And so, if you donât mind, I thought that Iâd take a minute or two to tell you a thing or two about Mike Pence.
Iâm what most people would call a âfun guy.â In my spare time, I enjoy golf and heterosexuality. And Iâm something of a voracious reader. My favorite book, of course, is the Bible, but I enjoy other books, too. Iâm a big fan of âThe Da Vinci Code,â which has a lot of stuff about the Bible in it. And Paul Ryan just gave me a copy of âAtlas Shrugged,â by Ayn Rand. I just started reading that one, so I havenât gotten to any parts in it about the Bible yet, but itâs darn good.
Another thing I read recently, and itâs probably become my second-favorite piece of reading material right after the Bible, is the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Itâs all about how to remove the President and replace him with the Vice-President. I have to admit that it was a kick to start reading the dusty old Constitution for the very first time and see yours truly right in there!
It turns out that the Twenty-fifth Amendment says that the country can remove the President if he is found to be âincapacitated.â That can mean anything from physically incapacitated, like being in an irreversible coma, to mentally incapacitated, like being seen raving like a lunatic during a visit to the C.I.A. Either way, if folks decide that itâs time to put a fork in you, see you later, alligator!
Whenever I read something great, I tell everyone I know to go out and read it, too. And so, my fellow-Americans, I encourage each and every one of you, history buffs or otherwise, to read the Twenty-fifth Amendment todayâespecially Section 4, which is a little complicated but really exciting, too. If you enjoy reading it as much as I did, let me know. Iâm in my office in Washington and you can reach me anytimeâIâm of sound mind and body.
Well, Iâm super-glad we had the chance to get to know each other a little better. Until next time, hereâs Mike Pence saying, God bless America. And God bless the Twenty-fifth Amendment.
Andy Borowitz is the New York Times best-selling author of âThe 50 Funniest American Writers,â and a comedian who has written for The New Yorker since 1998. He writes the Borowitz Report, a satirical column on the news, for newyorker.com.

Does anyone else think that whoever Trump appoints to head the FBI will suddenly decide to file charges against Clinton for the whole email thing? I think that Trump knows he is going down in flames and wants to drag Hilary down before he burns up.

hnybny91 , It wouldn't surprise me. I do think Tweety is in a panic. This is a very interesting development with a lot of unknowns all around. As Gloria Borger asserted, I think Tweety made up his mind to get rid of Comey and told the Justice Department to find a reason for him to do it. I think Borger put it this way, "this was a decision in search of a rationale." This may be a huge mistake for Tweety, however, because if it does end up causing the appointment of a special prosecutor, he may be in big trouble. As for using Hillary as a reason, that's absurd. If that were the cause he would have fired him when he took office back in January. If it ends up that a special prosecutor is appointed, I expect to see some more people getting fired namely Jeff Sessions and the the Assistant Attorney General who came up with the "excuse."

Just saw the AC / KAC clip . . . she amazes me the way she can lie and spout complete nonsense with a straight face and never even blink. It's like she's a robot and been programmed just to say certain lines. She repeats them over and over and over . . .

Somebody needs to shoot the Huckabee woman who substitutes for KAC... "we need to let the Russian connection go... it's been going on for over a year now... the American people are tired of it... " ARGGHHH
I don't watch Faux News but caught the clip of her on MSNBC . So that's the reason behind this get rid of Comey deal... make the Russian connection disappear. I so hate this whole pack of lying greedy fools who may destroy our country forever.
