Among the swirling parts of the controversy over President Trump’s firing of FBI director James Comey, there’s one that matters most. It stands in the way of the naming of a special prosecutor, the creation of a bipartisan, joint House-Senate committee to investigate the Trump-Russia connection, or the impeachment of the president.
It’s the lack of any known evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia in a plot to defeat Hillary Clinton in last year’s election. Unless such evidence—incriminating evidence—comes to light, Trump is likely to be off the hook, at least for now, and the uproar over canning Comey will begin to fade.
