Seriously, does he not have official duties to perform?

    1. He's always taken the stance that he's "being investigated", whether he is truly the focus or not; this is irrelevant.
    2. I agree, nothing good can come from this.
    3. The point is, if Rosenstein did make this recommendation, and is now conducting the investigation, it makes the point that either Rosenstein gave bad advice, or was setting POTUS up. The second is highly unlikely, but the fact that Trump was going to fire Comey anyway is irrelevant to the questionable position Rosenstein seems to be in.
    4. "told me" is what the tweet says, but that's phrasing....you don't really think Trump took this as a directive he had to follow, do you?
    5. I don't know what the statutes say, so I'm not addressing this one.
    6. If Obama could take goodness knows how much time away from his "official duties" every spring to prepare for and then make lengthy appearances on ESPN* to discuss the Final Four, I don't see why Trump can't use one of the predominant social media of the day to talk directly to the people. You may disagree with the subject matter; I frequently do as well, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with POTUS using Twitter.
    7. That's Trump's personality. He has to be in control and come out on top. Innocence or guilt does not figure into the way he behaves.

    *when I was putting in the response to this, a de-rail thought occurred to me. ESPN is as politically correct as you can get. Don't you find it funny that when W - a former major league baseball team owner - was president, ESPN didn't give a damn about his opinions on baseball, but the moment we get a black president, they have to know his opinions on basketball? Isn't that racist?

    Bull shit. She (The Clinton Foundation) took money from Russian oligarchs and conveniently sold our uranium assets to a Russian company right after her husband took a $500,000 bribe....er I mean payment for a speech. All this while she was Secretary of State. If you believe she wasn't deeply involved in the Clinton Foundation then I have a bridge in Brooklyn you will want to buy.

    You seriously don't know what you're talking about. Lay off the lying Fox network and use Snopes, instead.

    Did you think I would've posted that without first checking?

    Huh? My post was directed at Winston1. Are you and he the same person?

    I didn't dispute Bill Clinton's speaking fee. What's bullshit is the alleged quid pro quo involving Clinton, Russia, and uranium.

    http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-uranium-russia-deal/

    It's just one of MANY examples of how Fox's lies about Clinton take root and are difficult to uproot. She's the most smeared candidate in American history. And since you're apparently willing to use Politifact as an arbiter of truth, here's their own assessment of that allegation:

    sometimes I wonder if you really read anything and then when you do read, how you actually process information.

    reconcile the following:

    "The timing of Telfer’s donations might be questionable if there was reason to believe that Hillary Clinton was instrumental in the approval of the deal with Russia, but all the evidence points to the contrary — that Clinton did not play a pivotal role, and, in fact, may not have played any role at all."

    So how is something a fact that is still speculation or not known? Either she had a role or not.

    Very shitty reporting..

    Huh? How could you not understand that? If she had any role at all it was not a pivotal one.

    Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of Rex. First thing though is lose the tin hat.

    Like I said, your lack of comprehension and objective is on full display buddy.
