All he needs now is some way to get rid of tenure for Federal Judges so that he can appoint his own stooges and the US will have a true democracy.
Trump's intention may indeed be to somehow affect the course of the investigation. We know how the bloke works. In fact in his letter dismissing Comey he refers to Comey having told him that he (Trump) wasn't being personally investigated. Why mention that at all!
However the point remains Comey was not suited to the job.
I'm just pointing out the strange behaviour of folks getting all heated, working themselves up into a lather (which is how most Democrats are approaching it), after being so critical of Comey at other times.
