Trump firing Comey amounts to 'high crimes', says Harvard constitutional law professor
President has given a lot of different justifications for firing the former FBI Director
Donald Trump’s decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey was clearly an attempt to obstruct justice – a federal crime and, potentially, grounds for impeachment if true – a highly-respected constitutional law professor at Harvard has said.
“That is, clearly, on it's face obstruction of justice,” Laurence Tribe said of reports that Mr Trump had asked Mr Comey during a private dinner to pledge his loyalty to the President.
Any such request – which was denied by Mr Comey, who said that he could only pledge honesty – could can be interpreted to mean that Mr Trump was asking the then-FBI director to promise that investigations into Russia’s election interference would not target the Oval Office.

The White House has denied Mr Trump made such a request.
“What it really means is, 'Can I count on you not to make me a target of this investigation,’” Mr Tribe said. “That’s clearly an impermissible question.”
Mr Trump, in an interview, raised new questions about the motivations behind his decision to fire Mr Comey.
He contradicted previous reports from news outlets and his White House staff that he was moved by a memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to let go of Mr Comey, saying that he would have fired him with or without justification from his Justice Department.
Mr Trump went further as well, saying at one point that his decision to sack Mr Comey was in part motivated by his belief that an investigation into Russia’s meddling and connections between the Trump campaign and Moscow - which Mr Comey was overseeing - was fake news perpetuated by Democrats to make excuses for their 2016 loss.
“So, either Trump's own account of the discussion is true, in which case he's guilty of obstruction of justice,” Mr Tribe said.
“Or, much more likely, Comey’s account is true in which Comey gave him no assurances and said, ‘You can count on me to be honest, but not to be reliable or swear fealty to you.’
“Either way, as with the first article of impeachment against Richard Nixon, this is a series of high crimes and misdemeanors,” Mr Tribe said.

Trump comes in, shout from the rooftops that the world better not mess with him, in particular North Korea. Trump orders a big bomb to be dropped to show the world how 'tough' he is. North Korea have a look and decide 'business as usual' and test launch ballistic missiles. Which makes Trump look like a Turkey before Thanksgiving. He threatened China with sanctions due to unfair trade practices but instead went with the begging bowl to Beijing and signed a trade deal that will not impose tariffs on Chinese goods.
Trump already looks like a lame duck president with Nixonesque 'recording everything and everyone' paranoia.

This past week has been mad, but for the impeachment to be first reported by Louise Mensch would be peak madness.

And in collaboration with @TrueFactsStated no less!
Does he do transfer rumours too???
All from anonymous sources of course so no idea how true but would anyone honestly be surprised if Trump was so insecure that he was upset his cabinet weren't being sycophantic enough?

The sources say Trump feels ill-served by not just his staff but also by several of his Cabinet officials. Trump has two complaints about Cabinet members: Either they're tooting their own horns too much, or they're insufficiently effusive in praising him as a brilliant diplomat, etc. Among the cross-currents:

- His friend Wilbur Ross at Commerce this week took what was perceived as a victory lap on a China trade announcement that does little new in actuality.
- Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a big announcement about increasing prison sentences, at the same time that Jared is working on criminal-justice reform.
- HHS Secretary Tom Price shares the blame for the glacial pace of health-care legislation.

sigh.... why can't they ever be bothered before the election?
still, Trump's longevity will hinge much more on developments like this then on his FBI escapades. Real Americans are long past caring about constitutional norms and niceties.
love the dramatic background music too, btw ; )
