President Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

FBI-director Comey was fired on the recommendation of Jeff Sessions.
Hillary Clinton and Anthony Weiner must be terrified by now...

Looking at the track record of Donald Trump, we can expect him to appoint an even bigger scumbag; see the following quotes from another thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?499034-Boycott-the-elections/page4

ALEX ACOSTA
Most people thought Donald Trump couldn’t do it. But against all odds he picks an even bigger scumbag than Andrew Puzder for Secretary of Labor - Alexander Acosta
In 2008 no other than Alexander Acosta as US Attorney made the sweet deal with Jeffrey Epstein. Here is the deal in all glory: http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/palmbeachpost/news/S60BW-109091810400.pdf

Not only did Epstein receive a very mild sentence, but it also immunised several of the paedophiles that used the “services” of Epstein’s sex ring.
In 2011, Acosta wrote a letter in which he defended this decision:
"Our judgment in this case, based on the evidence that was known at the time, was that it was better to have a billionaire serve time in jail, register as a sex offender and pay his victims restitution than risk a trial with a reduced likelihood of success. I supported that judgment then, and based on the state of the law as it then stood and the evidence known at the time, I would support that judgment again".
In the 2011 letter, Acosta agreed that the work release seemed "highly unusual treatment" that "undermined the purpose of a jail sentence".

At his senate confirmation hearing, Alexander Acosta was supposedly “grilled” by the Democrooks; where he described the secret non-prosecution deal with Jeffrey Epstein as “a good thing”.
According to Acosta, the state had been outmatched by Epstein, whose attorneys launched "a year-long assault" on prosecutors “more aggressive” than any Acosta had previously encountered. Including following witnesses and discrediting victims by offering their social media profiles: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article136073328.html

Any idea what would happen if some small time drug dealer would harass witnesses or law enforcement agents?
Acosta’s office didn’t file a pair of obstruction of justice charges against Epstein. The first for harassing 2 of his personal assistants to thwart FBI agents from serving investigation subpoenas. The second for dissuading a female victim from talking with agents.
But of course for billionaire pervert Epstein and his friends the laws do not apply.
Kent Frank, 50, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Alex Acosta declared in a news release that society “cannot permit such individuals to seek sanctuary in our community (…)
We will prosecute sexual abuse of children aggressively, both when the targets are children in our community and when the defendants travel to target children abroad”.
Kent Frank 40 years, Jeffrey Epstein 56 days…

Acosta was head of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice during the Bush administration. Between 2003 and 2005, the Department of Justice Inspector General let Bradley Schlozman do the hiring. Under Acosta’s watch, Schlozman illegally purged “liberal” attorneys in favour of hiring more conservative, “real Americans” (Schlozman’s words).
Acosta agreed this “conduct should have never happened, I deeply regret it”: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...re-pedo-jeffrey-epstein-was-a-good-thing.html

Acosta also oversaw the settlement with UBS, a bank from Switzerland which helped 20,000 Americans with assets of about $20 billion evade taxes.
The bank paid $780 million and agreed to hand over the names of “some of their clients”: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/18/AR2009021802541.html

US attorney general Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions III is another lawyer, who is under scrutiny because he blatantly lied about his ties to Russia.
At the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing in January, Senator Al Franken asked Sessions what he would do as Attorney General "if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign".
Sessions replied: that he was “not aware of any of those activities” and “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it".
On January 17, Session repeated in reply to written questions from Senator Pat Leahy, that he had no contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government regarding the 2016 election.
On March 1, Sessions came under scrutiny after it became public knowledge public that he did have contact with the Russian government officials. Apparently Sessions had met the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, twice during Trump’s campaign (the ambassador that repeatedly discussed with Michael Flynn), once at the Republican National Convention in July, and again in his Senate office in September.
On March 1, Sessions replied to this (false?) news with "I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false".
Yeah sure - they weren’t talking about “the campaign”...
Sessions had already started a nice “investigation” of the alleged interference of Russia in the presidential election, but on March 2, announced that he would “recuse” himself from these investigations: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/opinion/jeff-sessions-had-no-choice.html?_r=0

There is more dirt on Jeff Sessions, he has been accused of being racist, violating human rights and using his office to attack Democrats, opponents for political reasons (including revenge).
When I look at recent stories about Sessions’ racism, they look sugar coated, but older articles are much harsher.
In 1986, Sessions was nominated by Reagan as judge of the US District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, but his nomination failed due to criticism of his record on civil rights and racism.
In March 1986 the widow of Martin Luther King, Loretta Scott King, sent a letter opposing the appointment of Sessions as Judge on the District Court, because “Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters”.
The most damaging statements came from the black Thomas Figures that had worked for Sessions, who testified that Sessions repeatedly called him “boy” and told him to “be careful what you say to white folks”.
Figures also told about an instance when Sessions was discussing the civil Hodge case with Figures and told him that “I wish I could decline on all of them". Figures understood that Sessions wanted to decline civil rights cases in general.
J. Gerald Hebert, a senior civil rights attorney at the Department of Justice, testified that Sessions had described a white attorney as a “disgrace to his race” for working with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Hebert also claimed, that Sessions had called various civil rights organisations, including the National Council of Churches and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference: “un-American”.

Hebert was threatened by Alabama senator Jeremiah Denton, a close ally to Sessions, to help him get appointed as US District Court: “He said that I’d better get out there and straighten up this nomination, or else I might find myself packing my bags when I got back to the justice department”.

In 1990, after departing Sessions’ office and returning to private practice, Figures was defending a civil rights activist accused of dealing crack cocaine. A drug dealer, John Christopher, was expected to testify against Figures’ client. Figures went to see Christopher in jail, unaware that Christopher was offered a deal to set Figures up, and was wearing a wire. Christopher asked Figures to pay him $50,000 to stop him from testifying. Figures didn´t decline this offer. Figures later testified at his trial that he did this so he could have Christopher charged with attempted bribery.
In 1992, Figures was charged with attempting to bribe Christopher by offering $50,000. Figures faced a potential 15-year prison sentence and $250,000 fine if convicted, but was acquitted in March 1993.
Douglas Wicks, a former Mobile County commissioner, spent more than 5 years in prison after being convicted on charges that were brought against him by Sessions a few months after he had accused Sessions of calling him a “******”. According to Wicks: “[I]Sessions decided to go after me because he didn’t get the federal judgeship[/I]”.
A businessman was sent into Wicks’ office by the FBI, wearing a wire, and recorded Wicks saying that he welcomed campaign contributions. The businessman was seeking a waste haulage contract from the county. Sessions accused Wicks of taking $3,000 in cash that the businessman had left in an envelope on his desk. Wicks denied that he ever saw this envelope: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ion-donald-trump-douglas-wicks-thomas-figures

Another interesting case is that in 1985, Sessions accused 3 black civil rights activists, known as the Marion Three, for voter fraud. This included Martin Luther King’s former aide Albert Turner. The defendants were accused of tampering with absentee ballots in the 1984 primary election. They charged them with violations of federal mail fraud statutes.
What makes this affair seem racist is that in 1982, Sessions was asked by then-District Attorney Roy L. Johnson to investigate voting irregularities including interference with absentee ballots in Perry County. In 1983, a majority-black state grand jury found that the right of black Perry County citizens to vote had been tampered with — and asked the federal government to intervene. But Sessions did not investigate that case.
The Marion Three were acquitted of all charges: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...s-bid-for-a-judgeship/?utm_term=.c4ca08c074a0

There are other accusations against Sessions. The following story accuses Session of charging Democrats for political reasons, including: Lambert Mims, Bob Gulledge, and Gary Greenough.
Gurney Owens alleged that after he had been caught on tape soliciting a bribe from a local businessman he was offered a deal if he would frame some Democrats. Owens didn’t play along and was sentenced to 10 years in prison: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ons-legal-past-democrats-trump-administration
In my opinion this last story doesn’t prove that all of these “Democrats” were innocent, but it does show how corrupt lawyers (like Sessions) use their position to help their “friends”.

Comey is lucky. If I were head of the organized crime syndicate, he'd be sleeping with the fishes. You can't operate a gang effectively with people you can't trust.

Only retards actually buy the fake news Russian narrative.. I'm actually all for an investigation too, just like Justin Amash, so that people will realize how full of $#@! the mainstream media is. But I'm guessing his motivation for this is to appease his leftist constituents. So the fact you support him on this is hardly surprising.

I agree I think that there is an effort to demonize Russia by associating them with Trump. Emotional voters are going to instantly attach their negative emotions against Trump towards Russia and by proxy Putin. I bet the amount of emotional voters who hate Russia by proxy of hating Trump has tripled since last November.

Russia doesn't need further demonization for anyone to realize the Russian government is corrupt to the gills. It doesn't mean you should buy all the negativity you read, but the constant defense and obfuscating in defense of their government is pathetic.

The "Russians" funded a news outlet that was not controlled by the leftist establishment. They actually allowed opposing and dissenting opinion. It's an outrage!

So this is all about/over RT? This is a serious question. I haven't really been paying attention as it sounded like a crock of shit to me.
