Trump wrote that?

Trump?

The guy who tried to copyright the phrase "You're fired"?

That guy, right?

He wrote a civil and diplomatic termination letter??

Yeah, right.

.....it always kind of "smells" when you fire someone who is leading an investigation that may implicate you or people in your administration.  -  Tennyson

Gee, do ya think?

He's running a family business while pretending to be a president and acting like he's still chief honcho on the 'Apprentice'.   

Look, everyone within the boundaries of Washington D.C. has called for James Comey to be fired at some point over the past 12 months. So I don't really have a strong feeling one way or the other of Comey getting fired.

In terms of Trump somehow thinking that firing Comey gets him out of hot water with the Russia investigation, he's kidding himself. If there is something there, it will come out. It always does. 

What is mind-boggling to me is just how incompetent the White House is when it comes to handling delicate matters.

The fact that Trump couldn't show the common decency, respect, and professionalism to tell Comey in person. 

The fact that Trump fired him on the day before he was scheduled to meet with the Russian Foreign Minister

Not giving his communications team 5 minutes to develop a message that passes the most basic of questions that everyone knows is going to come from the media and more importantly, the Congress.

This is truly amateur hour in the West Wing. 

We need someone that Trump cannot fire to investigate the Russia-Trump thing.

Meanwhile, back in the Oval Office, Trump is totally engaged in addressing the myriad of problems his administration faces. Apparently, primary among them is a tweetstorm against a senator that criticized his firing of Toomey.


Trump goes on raging tweetstorm at Democratic senator who criticized Comey firing on CNN and 'Morning Joe'

President Donald Trump sent out a series of tweets Wednesday morning attacking Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who had repeatedly criticized the president's firing of FBI Director James Comey.

"Watching Senator Richard Blumenthal speak of Comey is a joke. 'Richie' devised one of the greatest military frauds in U.S. history," Trump tweeted of the senator from Connecticut. "For years, as a pol in Connecticut, Blumenthal would talk of his great bravery and conquests in Vietnam — except he was never there.

"When caught, he cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness ... and now he is judge & jury. He should be the one who is investigated for his acts."

Blumenthal appeared on CNN on Wednesday morning, saying there was "really a looming constitutional crisis that is deadly serious."

The senator also was a guest on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday, calling for a special counsel to investigate the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia; Comey had been leading the FBI's investigation into the matter when he was fired.

In his tweets attacking Blumenthal, Trump was referring to a 2010 scandal in which it was revealed that the then-Senate candidate had repeatedly said or insinuated he had served in Vietnam, while actually he had obtained at least five military deferments and never went overseas.

"What is striking about Mr. Blumenthal's record is the contrast between the many steps he took that allowed him to avoid Vietnam, and the misleading way he often speaks about that period of his life now, especially when he is speaking at veterans' ceremonies or other patriotic events," The New York Times reported in 2010.

Blumenthal apologized for his remarks a few days after the story broke, saying, "On a few occasions I have misspoken about my service, and I regret that and I take full responsibility," according to The Washington Post.

Trump previously went after Blumenthal in February, accusing the senator of misrepresenting remarks from Neil Gorsuch, who at the time was the president's nominee to the Supreme Court. Gorsuch has since been confirmed.


Trump's remarks attacking Blumenthal for intimating he served in Vietnam Nam (he was a member of the marine reserves for several years) could either be considered ballsy or just plain stupid since the Prez did everything he could to exempt himself from serving in the military because of his 'bone spurs' . . . Even though he can't seem to remember which heel was painfully inflamed with those 'bone spurs'.

Doesn't he have anything better to do?

That's typical Trump, trying to escape scrutiny by changing the subject.
I don't care if the Senator misstated his service record. It isn't a crime, and he isn't my senator. If the people of Connecticut are satisfied with his apology, that's what matters.

But, Trump is my President. I demand to know what his ties to a hostile foreign power are, and I think I have a right to know.

It is time for a special prosecutor.
The only way we get to the bottom of this is with an investigation that is untainted by politics.
The investigators must be people that Donald Trump cannot fire.
