Democrats Should Put Country above Party, Too

"The New York Times reported President Trump asked James Comey to drop the FBI probe of Mike Flynn in February and added that Comey heroically refused. It never ends. Trump should re-nominate Jim Comey as FBI Director just to watch the Democrats change positions on him again."The Washington Post says Trump leaked intel on ISIS to the Russians Friday. Now Congress is on the warpath. Any guy who might get impeached over an unsubstantiated report from an unnamed source denied by everyone in the room may want to hire one of the Clinton defense lawyers."  Comedian Argus Hamilton

"It is reckless to throw around words like “impeachable” and “treason” before the evidence is in."

. . . "Then again, recklessly throwing around words like “impeachable” and “treason” before the evidence exists to level those consequential charges also puts party above country. Hysteria also erodes trust in our institutions for nothing more than political gain. You will, for instance, have to read six paragraphs into Reuters’s recent highly shared scoop headlined “Exclusive: Trump campaign had at least 18 undisclosed contacts with Russians: sources” to learn that “people who described the contacts to Reuters said they had seen no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the campaign and Russia in the communications reviewed so far.” 

"Talk about burying your lead. 

"For those keeping score, despite ceaseless leaking from the intelligence community, there has really been no evidence offered so far to prove “collusion” between Trump officials and Russia to “hack the election” — an absurd oft-used phrase that has convinced millions of Americans that their votes, their government, and their free will have been abducted by another country. If that day ever comes, I will write a column in favor of impeachment. Until that day, I’m certain folks with giant platforms like David Gregory will continue claiming that the Russians “hacked the election.' ” . . .
