Republicans are calling out Trump’s timing

Republicans sounded a bit more skeptical about Trump’s decision to fire Comey Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, than in past news cycles about the Russia investigations. There is some, albeit slight, indication that this could lead to an independent commission to investigate.

Rep. Justin Amash, a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus, said he and his staff “are reviewing legislation to establish an independent commission on Russia.” Amash added that parts of Trump’s letter to Comey were “bizarre,” citing a paragraph in which Trump thanked the former FBI director for assuring him, on three occasions, that the FBI was not investigation Trump himself.

Amash wasn’t alone in his concern.

Sen. Ben Sasse, of Nebraska, raised questions over the timing, and said he has reached out for more “clarity” on why the Deputy Attorney General recommended Trump fire Comey:

Sen. Jeff Flake, who has opposed the creation of an independent commission to investigate Russia’s influence on the election in the past, said he could not “find an acceptable rational for the timing of Comey’s firing.”

I've spent the last several hours trying to find an acceptable rationale for the timing of Comey's firing. I just can't do it.

Sen. John McCain, a longtime Trump skeptic, took it even further, saying he was “disappointed in the President’s decision to remove James Comey from office.”

“I have long called for a special congressional committee to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. The president’s decision to remove the FBI Director only confirms the need and the urgency of such a committee,” McCain said in a statement.

Rep. Barbara Comstock, who represents a district that went for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, also called for an independent review.

Sen. James Lankford, who sits on the Senate Committee for Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, said he still wants answers, asking for “clarity” and an “explanation” for the firing:

Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker said the timing of Trump’s decision “will raise some questions.” 

Sen. Richard Burr, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, was in agreement: “I am troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey’s termination,” he said in a statement. 

It’s still not clear whether any of these calls for “clarity” or investigation will make for a more thorough review in Congress. Background conversations with congressional aides seem to indicate that there is interest on both sides of the aisle. Even so, as the New York Times reported, special congressional panels would not be able to bring forward any criminal charges. They would, however, have subpoena power.

what

a

freaking

joke

:lmao:

every day there's either a new scandal, or another version of a story coming out. what a treat!

in the last 24 hours alone...

- trump grants putin's request to allow the Russian press into the WH, cameras and all. the AP, however, is not allowed in. pictures of trump, all giddy like a child who just met his football hero, still get out

Image result for trump with russia diplomats

 

- the deputy attorney threatens to resign because trump made him a scapegoat for the comey firing. anyone with a clue (sorry tom, snake, zambroski, dependsbusta...) knows the firing happened as a result of the russia story gaining traction, and comey's refusal to stop it. my god trump must think his trumpsters are fucking stupid. of wait, they are :lmao:

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty bold considering it's been proven that he paid Russia to hack the election. The Dumpers won't give it a second thought though.

I understand you are getting pissy. You are one of the first Republicans on here to realize you've been had. After that it gets worse every day as you realize how stupid you were. That's probably why the others are in denial. It's like trying to stay in asleep when you have a hangover. You know it's going to hurt when you wake up.

And you're still wrong on both accounts.  Momo has you pegged 100% of the time.  That in itself has to sting beyond belief. :lol:
