#1 True dat. This is all about casting shade on the Pubs for '18.

#2 So a reporter from a newspaper that's maybe just slightly biased against Trump talks to a guy (whose name he can't tell us) who says that he saw a memo (which the reporter hasn't seen) in which Comey says that Trump said to go easy on Flynn?

That's a great law school exam question for the course on evidence. "List the ways in which this reporter's article is inadmissible as evidence" or for the trial practice course, "How would you cross-examine the reporter?"

(That's old law school -- new law school would be "If doing so would not put too much pressure on you, describe the ways in which the reporter, his source, Comey and Trump were all exercising their white privilege.")

#4 Even if that's what Comey said, it's not proof. Comey has shown himself to be a bumbling idiot and biased in favor of Democrats. Let's just say he is not the most reliable witness. Further, he now has an ax to grind. Like Ryan said, why didn't he mention this to anybody at the time when it supposedly happened?

#5 no one's going to indict Trump for obstruction

The two scoops of ice cream, on the other hand, will be the end of him.

#7 Remember Bill and Monica?
America incensed, World amused, Bill impeached.
Didn't end his presidency.
