Well that British election is kind of crazy.
But as for Comey's testimony, it's good that he has helped build the case against Trump, but unfortunately we're still far from getting rid of him as Republicans still support him and excuse his lawbreaking and probable treason. On the former note though, apparently some Democratic members of the House and Senate are going to sue Trump for violating the emoluments clause, claiming that they have standing because, by simply violating that clause with no attempt to follow it and get consent from congress, he is denying them a vote on whether he should get a waiver on emoluments from congress as the Constitution demands. I have no idea how that'll go, but every attempt to stop Trump is valuable.
But Comey... I still feel like I don't understand what he did last year, not really. What is the real reason that he released that letter about Hillary, but refused to say a word about the ongoing investigations into Trump's camp? It is a bizarre act which is hard to explain, and while many explanations are out there all feel incomplete...
