Good Analysis of Today's FBI News

The Trump Campaign Has Been Under Investigation Since July

From The New Yorker:

"For the White House, which in recent weeks has urged intelligence and law-enforcement officials to parrot its skepticism about the “Russian story,” Comey’s public acknowledgement of the probe makes it all but impossible to meddle again without risking serious political and legal consequences."

20 years from now there will be a movie about this. Oily fellow sex offender Casey Affleck will play Trump. Unless, god willing, they're sharing a cell together.

Sounds like Comey is having a bad case of buyer's remorse. Not going to sneer at him for doing his job now, but it doesn't cancel out his "leak" the week before Election Day that arguably threw the election to Trump. At least he didn't stay bought.

[lynnenne]

Yeah, it would have helped voters make a more informed choice if he had told them about this BEFORE the election, not after. That go-nowhere report about Clinton's emails seems blatantly partisan by comparison.

Hey, the All The President's Men film came out in 1976, so hopefully it won't be 20 years ... *g*

[lynnenne]

HA. In that case, C. Affleck will be too young to play Trump. Who should we cast instead?

[sathari]

Alec Baldwin? /snerk (Also, is your "Just. Ugh." politics icon gankable? Because SO PERFECT.)

[lynnenne]

LOL, perfect, if they make the whole movie a comedy. Which, plausible.

Yes, icon is shareable. Please credit aweeghost, who made it.
