Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) on Tuesday said the United States is “in a full-fledged constitutional crisis,” after President Donald Trump abruptly fired former FBI Director James Comey.
We are in a full-fledged constitutional crisis.

And Chris Hayes leads with it.
“Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!”, shouted Admiral Trump at the helm.
God I fucking hope putin dies laughing his ass off.
Holy shit! Look at Richard Burr’s Twitter stream! He’s been tasked by McConnell with impeding and burying the investigation. He was the perfect man for the job because, being an opportunistic chameleon who rode Trump’s coattails to reelection, he’s safe for another six years. But this has him scrambling and gauging the speed of approaching buses.
A public servant of the highest order. And Trump gave him the kiss of death after he won the election.
I imagine a lot of compromised republicans must be fricking scared to death right now.
