President Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

[AuH20]

Stupid fuckers pissed off a POTUS who was relatively disinterested and under their thumb. Now there will be hell to pay:

Who holds the bigger stick with the DoJ under his control?

Well one thing is clear...Trump will go out on his own terms, sink or swim. He danced to "My Way" by Sinatra at the inauguration..and actually sang along. He's Kim Jon Il with checks and balances in the way. This is what got him here and he is going to keep doing it. Don't like being investigated- just fire the investigators. Don't like media coverage, fire the media. If there's an impeachment hearing he'd call it off and declare himself dictator. If it sounds crazy or impossible, so did his campaign.

Was Sessions in the middle of investigating Clinton?

Vince Foster was dead the day after Sessions was fired by Clinton. And yes, Clinton was under investigation for Whitewater.

Ya...fire the guy who refuses to investigate the Clintons and their foundation.

Good. Fuck the investigation, fuck the FBI letting Clinton get away with deleting 33,000 emails and claiming she had no "intent" and fuck the media.

P.S. so much rep for 284 posts in 4 years. Either you say some real Mark Twain shit every time (doubtful), or you are in the zippy shill club.

Watching parts of the government fight each other is a dream come true. I hope Trump uses the Leviathan to crush these bugs. Maybe they'll get a clue, but I doubt it.

Funny, 2 people I know that work at the FBI said everybody was happy about it.

I wonder if that was upper management or the field agents. The field agents generally despise their politically connected bosses.

Not upper management.

This is par for the course though. The government has been fighting itself for decades.

I forgot that only one person voted against Comey's confirmation

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/senate-confirms-comey-fbi-director-93-1-vote-f6C10790754

The Senate on Monday confirmed James Comey as the seventh director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with a 93-1 vote.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted "no," becoming the first senator to vote against an FBI director since the death of J. Edgar Hoover in 1972.

Two senators — Oregon Democrats Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden — voted "present."

All other confirmed FBI directors were approved by the Senate either by unanimous consent or with no dissenting votes. Two nominees were withdrawn by the presidents who picked them — L. Patrick Gray, nominated by President Richard Nixon, was implicated in the Watergate scandal, while Frank M. Johnson, selected by President Jimmy Carter, withdrew because of a health problem.

Paul opposed Comey's nomination because of concerns about the FBI's use of drone surveillance over U.S. soil. He received a letter from the FBI on Monday, a second round of correspondence that prompted him to drop his objections to Comey's nomination and allow the Senate to vote to confirm him.

The FBI responded to his initial query with details of the drone program, saying earlier this month that they had used drones over American soil a total of 10 times.

Paul wrote back asking about whether or not the FBI needed a warrant to conduct such surveillance.

On Monday, Paul received a second letter back from the FBI. In that letter, the FBI said that while the Supreme Court has never directly considered drone use in this context, there are cases that say there's no reasonable expectation of privacy because the areas observed were open to public view.

The FBI also argued that using drones does not represent physical trespass.

The law enforcement agency also said that long term surveillance of a person in public space could amount to a search as defined by the Fourth Amendment and indicated they do not use drones to surveil Americans in the long term. "We do not use UAVs to conduct such surveillance," they said.

Paul said he disagreed with this interpretation but lifted the hold because they responded.

In a statement after Comey's confirmation, President Obama said he "applaud[ed] the overwhelming, bipartisan majority of Senators who today confirmed Jim Comey to be the next director of the FBI," but he noted that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has also not had a confirmed director for years.

"I urge the Senate to swiftly confirm Todd Jones, my nominee to lead the ATF, so that he and his team can do their part to keep American families safe," Obama said.

Holy shit! Did you send this to C-PUD?

 

[Dr.No.]

Was he under investigation?

Did the OPR complain about Comey, as well?

Hello fellow Libertarianites and Paul Ron fans, I too am a big fan Of Paul Ron! Isn't Russia so anti-freedom and liberty? I think the Russian owning of Trump the Tyrant is something Paul Ron would be against, in fact, I remember him saying so somewhere. I think we as Paul Ron fans need to look into this Russia thing some more.

The Left is suffering from self-induced long-term amnesia by being unwilling to recognize why they got trounced. No one likes their hypocritical two faced platform that makes even the RINO party look good comparably.

Do you ever feel the left is just trolling mercilessly?
