Vannity Fair - "Will Comeygate Lead to Impeachment"

Great lede:
-snip-
"Perhaps Donald Trump should bring Chuck Schumer into his Cabinet. At least he’d have someone around to tell him he was acting nuts. Only Schumer (and possibly Steve Bannon), it seems, ever warned Trump that firing F.B.I. director James Comey might prove vexatious. So now, instead of enjoying an unremarkable week (the testimony from former acting attorney general Sally Yates was a big deal only because Trump made it so), Trump is enjoying a remarkable week. The hornets are stinging everyone in sight, and the White House is changing its story from day to day. (Yesterday, we were supposed to believe that Trump was moved to act based on a letter from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, except that Rosenstein pushed back against being used in this way—so now Trump says that he’d made his decision long ago, thereby humiliating his own surrogates. Thanks, boss!"
