They do, but who controls Congress? The President's party. Republicans have been stalling and stalling. Look at the whole Nunes debacle, he had to finally recuse himself. 

Why would Congress protect Trump? Many of them who ran against him in the primaries tore him to shreds. Others denounced him because of the dumb tape. If anything they should be more apt to impeach and remove Trump so Pence is President.

This is without a doubt one of the most turbulent, disappointing, and ineffective beginnings of a Presidential term in office during my lifetime.

 

Trump has been a disaster in every aspect. He has no clue, he didn't fire Comey, Sessions did.

So the letter to Comey from the pres ?

I thought he was supposed to bring you into the boardroom and have your peers rat you out first

Comey learned he was fired while addressing FBI employees in LA. TVs in the background began flashing the news.

The whole thing is now screwed up.

 

Even if an independent investigator is hired into the Russian dealings. That person still has to report to FBI agents on their findings.

 

FBI agents who will be lead by a Trump appointee!! The whole situation would be compromised. No way can Trump survive this.

 

I hope the Republicans in Congress don't toe the party line here.

He should be fired for not recommending prosecution of Hillary after laying out a solid case against her for 10 mins.

 

How quickly the MDL forgets the little meeting of slick silly and lynch on the tarmac that derailed a slam dunk case. 

 

He should be fired for not having the nads to stand up to lynch and she should be prosecuted for obstruction

That's appalling, not presidential at all. The man is a joke.

Self preservation, he just won the election, it was in their best interests to back him.

I'm very sure Sessions told him to do it. No way did Trump walk into work today and thought I'm going to fire Comey today because of his recent actions.

 

Those said actions he praised, backed and credited right before the election.

 

Impulsive decision, there was no replacement lined up before firing him.

I gotta say, letting him get impeached and removed would save a lot more face (esp if a GOP House impeaches him and a GOP Senate removes him), along with the benefits of a far more conservative President in Pence.

 

So I don't believe this angle one bit.

yeah but the President constantly contradicts himself...why would this be any different?  Pinning all of this on the Hillary emails makes no  sense.
