And today we have the blackmailer in chief threatening Comey with disclosure of tapes Trump supposedly made himself. This is the way this guy operates.

Blackmail is a felony, even if you are the president. It's also a RICO felony under federal law.

High crimes and misdemeanors? You betcha.

You know, maybe Rosenstein pulled the biggest troll ever on Trump and ensured that this reasoning would fall apart immediately. He had to do it, or lose his job. But he did it in a way that no one could even believe that Trump remotely believed so the reasoning would crumble. It actually makes perfect fucking sense. I'm holding on to this baby tight to give me comfort that he's not a complete minion idiot Trumpcunt...

The thing is though, we do need level headed people in the administration so there are people who actually do the right thing. I'm wondering if this was on purpose by Rosenstein. I hope. I really really hope...

Ah, you are correct. It's "toe the (party) line". I was mixing it up in my head/wires crossed with "kowtow".

Things have really gone off the rails when people from George W. Bush's Administration are telling you that you really screwed the pooch. Because they ought to know. There are a lot of screwed pooches from the Bush era.

Could also be from Sputnik News. Which would make him not a traitor.
