I don't believe Colodny has a college degree. He's just a guy who wanted to know the truth and possessed no desire to protect the reputations of journalistic/academic sacred cows like Bob Woodard.
He's a actually a liberal democrat, but one who respects the rule of law.
On March 3, 2017, he appeared on Infowars, in a segment hosted by Roger Stone, with some advice for Trump supporters.
Did Trump watch the Infowars segment? Or was it possibly a coordinated effort with Roger Stone?
One of the lessons of Watergate is Nixon didn't fight back.
It's not difficult to convince Donald Trump he should fight. That's his default mode.
Expect more firings and dismissals in the days and weeks to come.
