Salient facts remain uncovered but a few conclusions are appropriate:

1. Comey served under incredibly difficult circumstances over the past year and (a) oversaw the FBI investigation regarding Clinton credibly but made a serious ‘small c’ mistake in the timing and manner by which he informed Congress when new info arose late in the election campaign, (b) that mistake warranted his resignation which was not tendered, (c) he was also overseeing the FBI Russian interference investigation credibly and deserved protection from interference in so doing, (d) there are serious & legitimate concerns that Trump fired Comey to thwart further FBI investigation of Trump campaign team’s complicity in the Russian interference, and (e) if further inquiry confirms that Comey’s firing occurred to thwart FBI investigations, then this is an impeachable offence.

2. Thus, the US is truly in a constitutional crisis, and

3. This is not only some media event for our distraction.
