#1 After all this kabuki theater, I'm going to plead for a 5th. "Jack D." please.

#2 FBI's Comey's breaking from Lynch regarding Hillary shows he now knows these people are going down and he is not going down with them. I think he finally woke up or is gambling on Trump winning.

#3 For senior political officials, Pleading the 5th should be grounds for immediate resignation and/or impeachment.

If Congress had any guts and any sense of its true constitutional duty as a "check and balance", there would be an immediate demand for resignation, with a threat of impeachment if not complied with.

#4 there would be an immediate demand for resignation, with a threat of impeachment if not complied with.
Today, it is sad to say, it seems politics is not about country or right and wrong anymore--it is about partisan politics, power, lots of money and Party. It's going to take awhile to flush this problem.

#5 IMO, Loretta achieved her goals - making Holder look good.

#6 She did not technically plead the fifth. She just continued to ignore Congressional demands for testimony and documents.

#7 "making holder look good"!!! How is that possible?

#8 The answer is simple then. Taking the fifth or not answering in the capacity of a government employee should result in immediate removal, a permanent ban on holding any government position with loss of all pension and retirement benefits.

#9 You guys know how this is going to end. Obama will invoke executive privilege, MSM will bury it and that will be the end of it.
