Yeah, and how did firing the highest ranking FBI member turn out for Trump? Although this particular firing was very justifiable on the merits of the case (a president Hillary would probably have fired him too, lol!), it still almost destroyed his presidency and had a long-term destabilizing and debilitating effect.
I am sure that no other administration in history tried to place loyalists throughout the federal bureaucracy and the intelligence community. Or tried to block delicate investigations. Mmmmkay.
"It almost destroyed his presidency"
How fucking stupid. He barely lost, appointed more judges than anybody else, and never faced any consequences. He barely lost his reelection and it can be blamed almost entirely on the pandemic for his slim loss. For fucks sake he survived two impeachment attempts handily. If anything the absolute lack of consequences for firing Comey gave him the absolute green light to keep going.
We've had this conversation before, and all you could muster was a vague gesturing to Trump's polling numbers dropping that were better explained by other events. and I imagine in a few months we'll have it again, and you offer just as much.
