Donald Trump is for once, correct. It is worse than Watergate. And as in Watergate, the Director of the FBI must resign. First he must retract his statement, then resign. There are only two alternatives here. Jame B Comey either knowingly tried to tamper with a presidential election, 11 days out, on a hint of a possibility of a rumor of an inference of a chance of Clinton emails that reportedly aren’t from Clinton and aren’t to Clinton, which his bureau had not bothered to tell him about nor gotten a warrant for until last night — OR — James B Comey had no idea that his statement would impact a presidential election in such a way that there would not be a chance to disprove the negative he threw against the wall like the #, by all accounts, it is. In the former case, Comey, once that rarest of individuals, the non-partisan legal hero from the Bush Administration, is a criminal, who has desperately and personally and at the last minute, tried to deliver this country and it’s 240 years of democracy into the hands of a self-obsessed, compulsively lying fascist, with no respect nor interest in anyone or anything besides himself and no understanding of the real world and the billions of people he could kill in a fit of pique over something sombody would say about him on TV. In the later case, Comey is merely criminally stupid. A man who did not foresee that his actions were the equivalent of crying “fire” in a theater, without saying which theater he means and with no evidence that there is any fire anywhere. Regardless of which, stupidity or criminality, his viability as the head of the FBI ended the moment he sent his note last Friday to, among others, the Chairman of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform — who should also resign, today.So, President Trump gave Keith Olbermann exactly what he wanted and sent him spinning into a foamy-mouthed mental fugue. As I said above, we should offer Olbermann our pity. We don't want to pile on. However, the former TV personality is emblematic of a broader political mindset. A quick glance at the left-wing internet this morning will reveal a legion of crazed, borderline violent, outrage junkies - all desperate to claim the President's scalp. Never mind that people like Feinstein, Manchin, and Clapper have all indicated there's no evidence to support their conspiracy theories. They're out for blood. I'd wager that most of us have never seen this kind of political rage in our lifetimes.
