President Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

[CPUd]

This entire Russian angle was cooked up by Robbie Mook and Podesta, when they realized Hillary was going to be persona non grata. This was their way of projecting responsibility for the disaster outside the Democratic Party.

Donald brought it on himself. This could have easily been squashed on day 1, but he continues to bring it on himself by saying and doing dumb shit.

Agreed on both counts. Its been inflated by both sides, looking for a big narrative.

Get the investigation done with. Trump is making himself look AWFUL with this timing.

Well, Rand said it couldn't have come soon enough.. and he gave Comey plenty of time to investigate the Russian connections and so far they have come up totally dry. The truth is sometimes you have to make a decision that will get you flack one way or another, just ask Justin Amash.

Even if you hate Trump, you have to give him credit for this action.

They were waiting for the appointment of Rosenstein for awhile. Comey has been dead man walking for months.

First, it took a long time to get an attorney general in office. Facing Democratic opposition, Jeff Sessions, one of the president's first nominees, was not confirmed by the Senate until Feb. 8. Then, it took a long time to get a deputy attorney general in place. Rod Rosenstein, the deputy — and the man who wrote the rationale for axing Comey — faced similar Democratic delays and was not sworn in until April 26.

Only after Rosenstein was in place did the Trump team move ahead. That was true not only for chain-of-command reasons but also — probably more importantly — because Rosenstein had the bipartisan street cred to be able to be the point man in firing Comey. Even though his confirmation was delayed, Rosenstein was eventually confirmed by the Senate by a 94 to 6 vote, meaning that the vast majority of Democratic senators voted for him along with all of the Republicans.

How important was the arrival of Rosenstein to the bid to fire Comey? This, from a source in a Senate office Wednesday morning: "Many who are suggesting that there's something nefarious about the timing of the Comey firing are likely missing the fact that DAG Rosenstein was sworn in two weeks ago (April 26), and that the FBI Director reports to the DAG on the DOJ org chart. It seems completely normal that the DAG would review their top reports within the first couple weeks of starting."

Discount the part about "completely normal" — firing the FBI director, who has a ten-year term and was conducting a high-profile investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election that touches on the president, was not a routine act. The point is, it took the arrival of Rosenstein to do it.

Lock who up

And for what?

Hillary.

For the crimes that Comey was ignoring.

This may as well be an endorsement. A sniveling coward of the system like Comey ridiculing Trump as 'Crazy?' Sign me up for 'more crazy' like this overdue firing.

Is that the story they are going with today? This would be a non-issue if he had just fired him on day 1.

If they fired him on day one, they would have been back at square one with McCabe. They needed a successor in place.

Oh, right, that

He could have fired him too, because that guy is probably under investigation. But the POTUS doesn't need a reason to fire them, he can just do it.

The Orwellian Left can't keep up with all of the reversals of hate and talking points. They cheered the firing of Comey before they were instructed that they are supposed to be against it. They booed Jeff Sessions on cue, it would have been double plus ironic if they were supposed to cheer him...

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.

:o

...ugh...the republican-radio airwaves are all a-twitter with goddamned fools who spend their lives flailing at the leaves of the tree of evil...NEVER $triking the root$...

...constant circuses and chemical bread...[hint for republicrat-radio peckerheads: ...'the comey issue' is yet another circu$ distraction...merely another leaf on the tree of evil...

...republicrats have some awful, sick, twisted priorities....ugh...

Perhaps it's in response to the utter hysteria being exihibited by the leftist mainstream media.

Cernovich via Infowars via some guy. Sweet.

Thanks for reminding me. There was a headline on CNN today that said "Breaking: Sources say that some have the impression that Spicer has been put on the bench".

Wow. It's breaking news with anonymous "sources" that someone noticed that Spicer didn't do the press conference today. That's grounds for a special prosecutor!

People watch this crap?

Trump's ego may be even too big for the Deep State to massage. Chalk up this personality attribute as one for the good guys.

You would think the Deep State would quit while they have Trump relatively under control. But no, they have to try to for the knockout, instead of riding out the good days.

Why would the Deep State need to get him under control? He's been 1000% with them all along.

I used to like to keep up to date watching The Daily Show and Colbert Report every night. Once they left Comedy Central, the replacements were unbearable. Colbert became unbearable when he moved to CBS. Only Kimmel was worth watching at times, and now he has jumped the shark too. Now there is no late night that is not "60 Minutes of Leftist Hate".

Partially and mostly relegated to foreign policy. He's still adamant about building the wall and reviving the moribund job market. They still don't trust him, especially since they have a detailed psychological profile on him. If they were smart, they'd enjoy the fruits of their takeover and stop pushing him to completely rebel. This nonstop stealth operation to impeach could unleash a savage animal upon D.C., and I for one, welcome it.
