#1 "What does the Department of Justice and FBI have to hide?" Trump asked in a mid-afternoon tweet.

I suspect he already knows.

#4 I'm not fully conversant with the hiring/firing power the Executive has, when combined with Congressional power to confirm or reject appointees, in this situation.

But given that Trump is the Executive and the GOP controls both houses, there is a whiff of kabuki in all this.

I know a little about blue slips and the like, but it seems to me that this is a failure of will on the part of the GOP (including Trump).

Either that, or they're actually fine with all this and just want to rile up the rubes.

#5 If Trump fired Comey he can certainly fire Wray or Rosenstein or anybody else and if they refuse to comply with a request from Congress it's about damn time to do so.

#6 @#4 The problem is that there is a Republican anti-Trump element in Congress and the bureaucracy, which makes hard for Trump and his allies to know who to trust and they have to find trustworthy & competent people to drain the swamp. I doubt McConnell and Ryan can be considered allies.
