The moral and ethical collapse of the Republican party is an utter unjustifiable travesty against all that is good decent and Noble in America.

4. Making sense now...

Boente fired so Trump can pick someone and a back door way to upset Mueller's progress... Mueller says no way and indictments are filed later that day... Wonder if he's shooting for the top???

6. Sorry, I listened to MSNBC and they were all

saying that the reason for the resignation was that his part of the investigation was over and that he could not testify in the charges if he was still a member of the investigative team.

9. I listened to MSNBC with a different panel including

someone who actually knows him, had worked with him, got a goodbye call on the day his "resignation" was announced. She said that very recently -- within a week or two -- he was all excited about the next phase of his upcoming work. She said it was very clear to her that it was NOT a voluntary resignation.

Now we have to worry why he was ‘resigned.’
Damn. Hope this doesn’t turn out like Fitzmas
