President Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said.

"The president has accepted the recommendation of the Attorney General and the deputy Attorney General regarding the dismissal of the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," Sean Spicer told reporters in the briefing room.

The firing came just after the FBI confirmed Comey provided erroneous testimony to a Senate panel about how Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin handled classified emails.

FBI's Comey: It makes me 'mildly nauseous' to think I may have affected election


FBI Director James Comey told a Senate committee Wednesday he stands behind his letter that shook up the final days of last year's presidential election — and he would do it again.

Still, he said his decision to tell Congress that the FBI had found new emails that could be relevant to Hillary Clinton's private email server was not an easy one.

"This was terrible. It makes me mildly nauseous to think we might have had some impact on the election," Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I would make the same decision."

At the panel's routine hearing on oversight, the FBI director was grilled about the investigations into alleged Russian meddling in the election and into Clinton's use of a private email server at the State Department. Some Republicans defended Comey's actions and pressed him to reveal what evidence underpins accusations of Trump campaign contacts with Russia.

While the campaign was still ongoing, Comey did not reveal the existence of the Russia probe, but he did tell Congress that the FBI discovered thousands of messages from the Clinton email domain on the computer of disgraced politician Anthony Weiner, who was married to Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Democrats repeatedly questioned the FBI director about his decision-making process when he sent the letter on Oct. 28, just days before the election.

McMaster has been violating security protocols by leaking classified info to Petraeus who previously had his security clearance pulled. McMaster will be gone in time.

Paul Ryan will be gone too, it will take a little longer than I had hoped though.

What investigation? What law was broken? Looking at former campaign affiliates is not an investigation into the Trump admin. Trump himself is not under investigation as confirmed by Comey and has been confirmed multiple times already there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and a Russian influence campaign.

Good thing Comey is out. This guy is slimy.

I hope Hillary to be on trial soon so The Count can go to hell. Where is the rule of law in this country? Everybody should ask Trump about that.

The emotional faction of the libertarians lurking here really think the Russians are behind it all.
