The lawyer for the House committee investigating #TrumpRussia went to the White House to represent trump.

Wow, does that ever scream "We need a special prosecutor."

Is Comey dragging his feet on this investigation to keep Trump in office as long as possible? There seems to be a lot of evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and just too many coincidental meetings to be innocent. The investigation has been going on for almost ten months. I know it took much longer to get Nixon out of office, but the information flow moves much more quickly these days. I worry that Putin is killing anyone with evidence against Trump. And our Republican Congress would rather see the country be dominated by Russia than lose their power--Putin's new USSR will be the United States of Soviet Russia.

Comey is crossing his t's and dotting his i's like no one has ever had to do before. Imagine the pressure on him investigating a seated president.

Trump and his cabal are consolidating more power every day. Before long there won't be much the country can do. Impeachment must start this year. Next year there simply won't be a Law enforcement apparatus in place to dispute Trump as he will have replaced all key officials with people loyal only to him.
