He has been in office for well over 4 months and what has he done so far that represents a real threat to our democracy? We still have a free press, our elected representatives still openly express their opposition to Trump, late night comics still make fun of Trump, the courts still function and issue injunctions on EOs that they deem constitutionally questionable, people are still posting on this and other forums expressing their strong opposition to Trump both personally and in terms of policy and sometimes in quite offensive language.

I have lived for brief periods in countries where freedoms are proscribed to some degree or the other and the US is not even remotely akin to these countries and it would take a serious erosion of our democratic institutions for us to get anywhere close to those countries.

This hysteria about what Trump can do or is about to do is sheer nonsense. We have multiple safeguards to prevent autocracy in this country.

I'm assuming he can't reveal classified info, but there may be other elements that aren't classified but that he would have erred on not testifying to as leading the investigation...?

I posted this last night and it got lost in a lot of trolling/arguing/discussion about other elements. Can anyone speak to this?

Comey is scheduled to testify tomorrow! It's unclear if he will still be called.

Not testifying. Huzzah.

Is this a prediction or do you have a link?

Confirmed by multiple sources. Google Comey testify.

Not confirmed. You are lying.

Former FBI Director James Comey will not testify in an open session of the Senate Intelligence Committee that was scheduled for Thursday.

“Comey was terminated last night,” the panel’s chair Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) told reporters on Wednesday. “The chair will be filled by the acting director of the FBI.”

Andrew G. McCabe became acting director of the bureau after President Donald Trump abruptly terminated Comey on Tuesday, a development Burr said “troubled” him.

I have googled and actually cannot find this at all. Only a couple reports on twitter.
