Maybe they should start by investigating Trump and Russia, huh Second?

I thought they were. What happened?

If Comey gives Congress a slam dunk case for obstruction of justice against Trump
But he won't. Because no matter how many notes Comey took at whatever time he claims he took them - it's still a matter of he said - he said. Unless one - preferably both - were taping the conversation, neither party has 'slam-dunk' evidence.

Incorrect.

Trumps own wordz make it an open & shut case. Have you not seen the Lester Holt interview?

Not good enuff for you? Then add hiz bogus cover story that he set up, ran, then trashed himself with that interview.

Then therez firing Sally Yates for warning him that Flynn wuz trouble.

Then therez finally getting flynn to rezine 18 dayz after that ONLY kuz the Washington Post wuz going to expoze Flynn.

The only thing holding up the impeachment iz Ryan and McConnel being too blind to see their anklez tangled in the ropes tied to the Trump ankor.

There will never be a Republican controlled Congress that would impeach Trump, no matter what was recorded with Comey. That is how Republicans behave. Now if Special Counsel Robert Mueller found out Trump cheated on his taxes or something else simple and straightforwardly criminal, Trump's legal problems would NOT go through Congress, but through the ordinary court system where his political party has less than total control.

Michael Isikioff of Yahoo News reported that four top D.C. lawyers had refused to handle Trump’s defense.

“The concerns were, ‘The guy won’t pay and he won’t listen,’” said one lawyer close to the White House who is familiar with some of the discussions between the firms and the administration, as well as deliberations within the firms themselves.

If accurate, Isikoff’s reporting suggests that a lifelong habit of skipping out on bills has saddled Trump with an attorney ill-prepared for the task ahead.

Friends of the president will reply that the Comey hearing did not produce a smoking gun. That’s true. But the floor is littered with cartridge casings, there’s a smell of gunpowder in the air, bullet holes in the wall, and a warm weapon on the table. Comey showed himself credible, convincing, and consistent. Against him are arrayed the confused excuses of the least credible president in modern American history.

It is not only the Republican leadership. For example, Texas’ own U.S. Sen. John Cornyn looks like he’d rather play defense attorney for Trump. As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee panel that questioned Comey, Cornyn used his few minutes with the microphone to raise the now-closed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s misuse of a private email server — a topic that would be distinctly more relevant if Clinton had not lost the 2016 election.

U.S. intelligence agencies assert that Russia interfered with that election, and Comey reminded Congress that Russia will interfere again. But the Republican Party has made no secret of its intent to spin Comey’s testimony as nothing more than fodder for cable TV talking heads . . .

My quick survey of ordinary Republican voters in Texas all agreed that everything Comey said in testimony should be ignored, but evil Hillary's email server must be investigated. From top to bottom, the entire GOP is protectively embracing Trump.

As opposed to the brain virus that started with Obama Mania and devolved to Trump Derangement Syndrome.

When the president’s id speaks, the world listens.

Consider his tweets mocking the mayor of London after the most recent terror attack. This is a time when a president expresses sympathy and solidarity — and stops there. Trump can’t stop, ever. He used the atrocity to renew an old feud with a minor official of another country.

He used London to support his travel ban, to attack his own Justice Department for having “watered down” the original executive order (ignoring the fact that Trump himself signed it) and to undermine the case for it just as it goes to the Supreme Court.

He boasted by tweet that the administration was already doing “extreme vetting.” But that explodes the whole rationale for the travel ban — that a 90-day moratorium on entry was needed while new vetting procedures were developed. If the vetting is already in place, the ban has no purpose. The rationale evaporates.

And if that wasn’t mischief enough, he then credited his own interventions in Saudi Arabia for the sudden squeeze that the Saudis, the UAE, Egypt and other Sunni-run states are putting on Qatar for its long-running dirty game of supporting and arming terrorists (such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas) and playing footsie with Iran.

It’s good to see our Sunni allies confront Qatar and try to bring it into line. But why make it personal — other than to feed the presidential id? Gratuitously injecting the U.S. into the crisis taints the endeavor by making it seem an American rather than an Arab initiative and turns our allies into instruments of American designs rather than defenders of their own region from a double agent in their midst.

And this is just four days’ worth of tweets, all vainglorious and self-injurious. Where does it end?

No. I mean @realDonaldTrump who tweeted 2 hours ago: "Congratulations to Jeb Hensarling & Republicans on successful House vote to repeal major parts of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial law. GROWTH!" If you knew why the economy crashed in 2008, and you remember the multi-trillion dollar bailout that went to the fabulously wealthy and none to you, you would know why Trump should not congratulate this vote.
