White House press secretary Sean Spicer. (The Post) On Tuesday, in the pre-James-Comey-firing world, Sean Spicer was asked why the president didn’t fire Michael T.

But the revelation intensified the pressur..>> view originalThese Republicans could set the Comey disaster right
Mitch McConnell is no Howard Baker. Baker, the late Republican senator from Tennessee and GOP Senate leader in the 1970s and 1980s, became a profile in courage when he put country above party during the Watergate investigation, famously asking,“What did the president know, and when did he know it?” McConnell, who now occupies the high office Baker once held, had a chance Wednesday for his Baker moment.
