Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    One of the things that got us here was Jim Comey inappropriately releasing non-public investigatory information. Let's not repeat that mistake.https://twitter.com/newrepublic/status/984063528184242176 …

    If Trump fires Robert Mueller, the special counsel should reveal everything he's discovered in the Russia investigation. http://bit.ly/2IKvB3w  pic.twitter.com/aVwFfwVqBR

        Comey gave it to congressional committee who leaked it. That being said, there was no probable cause to reopen investigation anyway.

        No. He gave a press conference and made many inappropriate comments.

        Are you referring to his Clinton announcement or the letter he sent to Congress in October?

        Clinton announcement in July. From that all else followed.

        Given Bill's actions and things going on behind the scenes you don't think it was appropriate for him to make an announcement? Is there even a playbook for that type of situation?

        What we know from game theory is that unilateral disarmament encourages misbehavior. Right wing FBI agents will feel MORE free to abuse their office for partisan purposes if they think that non-RWNJs won’t reciprocate.

        how steadfast are you in that viewpoint? A Mueller termination feels like a break glass moment, in a way that "getting to examine Anthony Weiner's sexting machine" or "professionals recommend against prosecution" was not.

        On the other hand, it may be a good time for Team Mueller to wrap up some things with the Grand Jury and get some more indictments issued under seal.

        Nah, if your opponent defects on norms and there's no higher authority to punish them, the appropriate response is defect-defect until they agree to return to norms.
