"The obstruction of justice articles of impeachment counts are stacking up, it seems, an active duty FBI agent told The Daily Beast on Tuesday. Firing Comey, the agent added, was a big gamble. You've got to kill him, metaphorically. You can't just wound him."
Officials spoke to The Daily Beast on the condition of anonymity so as to speak freely.
Trump administration officials described the current state of affairs in the West Wing as expectedly chaotic and anxiousbut having an almost numbing effect, as one described itas White House staff and senior Trump aides frantically jumped from one crisis and negative news cycle to the next.
Every time I feel like were getting a handle on the last Russia fiasco, a new one pops, a White House staffer told The Daily Beast on Monday evening. On Tuesday, after reports of the Comey memo began to circulate, the staffer revised that assessment: I guess I was wrong about the timing, the staffer said. We cant even wrap up one Russia fiasco before were on to the next one.
A senior official in the Trump administration, who previously worked on the presidents campaign, offered a candid and brief assessment of the fallout from that string of bad press: I dont see how Trump isnt completely fucked.

(53,061 posts)When talking about taking a move to the FBI (to get closer to family) for example everyone outside the FBI who has knowledge of the FBI has the same, word for word reply, "I don't want to be stuck writing memos all day long".
FBI agents document every little thing.
That would include discussions with the POTUS
He is absolutely fucked.
