There is also documentation on THomas DiBiagio, one of the two people whom Comey fired. Don’t know about the other guy Comey fired, who is almost certainly Thomas York (SD/AL)–but since he “resigned” during an internal probe of something, I suspect there’s documentation from that.

I would have though as much. How can we get congress to highlight the disparity between legitmate firings and the Sampson/Gonzo/Goodling supposed lack of documentation?

We all know the fact that they serve at his pleasure (spouted endlessly), but the official story that he was never informed, involved, had any knowledge or input into a decision that is his, and only his, to sign off on is never given a passing bit of interest. Have any of the questions during the hearings raised this point about the POTUS being required to be in the loop? If not, why the f**k not.</p> I haven’t heard the fact that only the President can order the removal of a sitting U S A on ANY MSM news program.

This is like trying to reason with a recalcitrant teen-ager. No respect for logic, no concern for truth. Can’t they at least make a case out of the failure of the AG to keep adequate documentation of a process that messes with the lives of appointed Republicans? I hate feeling helpless.</p> Does anyone else feel their heart pound and their head buzz? This is like trying to reason with a recalcitrant teen-ager. No respect for logic, no concern for truth.

There is this thing with the Christians..say if the parents were the old timey kind that thinks lying cheating and stealing is not good. Could be the reason Ashcroft left or had to leave.</p> Good to hear Iglasius is the son of missionaries.
