comey, as i recall, was in los angeles when the manila envelope was delivered. the president resists having to show people the door. this is the waugh in which he gets it done. the only question in my mind is whether he s gone by 4:00 p.m. today or by friday. i think that is dependent on the fallout from stormy daniels. why? because i think it s a huge issue today for the president. if the conversation doesn t abet on over this whole subject from last night, he will be that much more to change up the news cycle and get rid of this guy today. karoun, the president may new it is running like a smooth machine, but here s the graphics of all the staff turnover and departures. these are the recent ones, february, march. here they are from the beginning. you can go from michael flynn all the way through h.r.
