[John Isbell]

To my mind, and i do speak as a liberal, it's quite possible to believe that Comey abused his power and that his firing is an equally if not perhaps more egregious abuse of power. The two are not mutually exclusive. I think that both events represent sad days for American democracy.

My objection was and remains to the idea that a candidate for president might collude with bad actors - say, Putin - to obtain the Oval Office. I think I set the bar high for impeachment, but that would qualify. Just as Nixon's collusion did.
