Shortly after the Senate Intelligence Committee requested Trump’s financial records from Treasury.
And irony of ironies, Trump is using Hillary Clinton’s email investigation as the excuse.
Time for an independent special prosecutor.

From the NYT:
“Building a case
Senior White House and Justice Department officials had been working on building a case against Mr. Comey since at least last week, according to administration officials. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had been charged with coming up with reasons to fire him, the officials said.

“I have the greatest people. Ted Nugent, Sally Yates. Where is the controversy?”
Whose got some extra popcorn? I can recall, as a much younger man, gathering around the
tee vee for the Watergate Hearings. This is a much more serious time, but it oughta’ be fun watching all the political heads and hacks rolling down 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! (BTW, they should take Pence with ’em.)
There isn’t enough popcorn in the universe for this freak show.
I was wondering if the inquiry at Treasury had anything to do with the timing of this. But that was the Senate investigation – not the FBI? Isn’t there a Grand Jury ready to indict in Virginia, too?
