It requires a level of self reflection and brutal realization that Trump supporters just aren't capable of, nor courageous enough, to engage in. This is the shit that happens when you enable a narcissistic man-child and elect him to the office of the presidency. The lie that fence-sitters who broke for Trump told themselves that "checks and balances exist so everything will be ok", is being laid bare before them on a daily basis.
You're relying on cowards to admit fault in themselves, and that's not going to happen.
Jesus, I hadn't heard that. I know I started this thread, but I've been "off the grid" essentially for the past four hours.
So far the letter Trump wrote is the biggest indicator I'd heard that there was obvious lies in Comey's firing.

One of the best summations of Trumpers I've seen in awhile. Well put.
(and I agree, they will never have the moral courage to admit they were wrong)

Yes, what else do you think the FBI does? Comey was in charge of the criminal investigation of Trump and the Russian collusion/interference of the election. And apparently he was fired for that reason.
"Comrade, where are lifted sanctions?"
"No, you see, I can't do that. Everyone thinks I'm working with you for some reason."
*knock knock*
"Mr. Trump? Your 1:00 is -- "
"Nyet, he is busy."
"Okay."
"So the deal is, everyone's talking about how we worked together. So I need a distraction."
"Have you tried running country?"
"Yes, but who knew it could be so complicated?"
"Everyone, comrade. Everyone."
"So I think I need to attack another country. Syria?"
"No."
"Iran?"
"No."
"North Korea?"
"No."
"Agrabah?"
"Is not real country."
"Venezuela?"
"Let me check schedule. Will get back to you."
Another aspect beautifully pointed out by TYT is that Comey was fired WITHOUT A REPLACEMENT!! This means they wanted him out right now, and couldn't wait. Their excuse for his firing does not warrant not waiting until they had a replacement ready.

Wait, what? Does the White House Counsel not exist for this type of stuff? And what exactly does sending a "certified letter" to Lindsey Graham supposed to do anyways?
Trump was in love with him for slamming Hillary's numbers down at a critical junction without proper authorization or reason to warrant such "disclosures".
Now he's pretty well pissed at the fact that he's investigating him so he's gotta go because he did HER EMAILS!!!!!!!
Not really. There's an official timeline being pieced together tonight based on when the information was put into the media, when it was known by the media pending a report, and the actions taken by the Trump camp.
Basically, claims being made that the DoJ was ordered to come up with a reason to fire Comey because of the impending grand jury situation that Comey was taking part in, then this morning there was reports that media outlets had that a grand jury is officially issuing subpoenas, news also makes it to Trump, Trump fires Comey at recommendation of Sessions, everyone goes ballistic, even people on the R side of the aisle.
It's not conspiracy when it's a clear possible cover up that even people at Fox are calling it out to be. There's also no replacement lined up and the way the firing was handled was public humiliation for someone in that high of a position. It was Trump sending a shot across the bow but it may well backfire. See what happened to Nixon.
I guess I just find it funny so many liberals are so excited for a Pence presidency. Trump may be the most progressive/liberal candidate the Republican party has ever nominated, and you guys are pushing for Pence.
Personally I would love to see a Pence presidency, just surprised so many liberals share that view.
