Trump fires FBI Director James Comey - POLITICO

I guess Donny really doesn't want to be investigated?

[2MuchMark]

Everything around Trump is crumbling...

[Axeman]

Comey was a mess. Misspeaking and misstating things all the time. Plus the whole handling of the emails of Clinton from start to finish. Get someone competent in there.

I very much agree with competent - but i'd like also add "independent".

But when i hear that McMaster is about to get fired for being too independent, i dont have much hope for the FBI either

Agreed on independent too.

[Busty2]

Maybe he was getting too close to the truth about Russia ?

[beerptrol]

The list of reasons they give for his firing warrant that he should have been fired 90 days ago.
For them to do it now looks fishy! Like a reaction to his recent testimony and investigation


How much you want to bet the new director reopens the Hillary email investigation

[Sly]

This can't be the same Comey that the world wanted fired when he was after Hillary...

[Rochard]

This isn't going to make a difference really. They will just put the next guy in the hot seat and call him into testify.

I hope the new guy picks up the investigation. Just with more confidence in his abilities, unlike Comey.

You mean getting on with the "important" stuff like who leaks stuff to the press and keeps getting Trump & co in trouble.. Not this pesky Russian non-sense...

You can bet your ass that Democrats in congress will now stone wall Republicans on everything until there is a special independent prosecutor for the Russian investigation. Good luck getting Trumpcare through the Senate much less Tax reform.. Not gonna happen..

Totally not guilty guys.. see I fired him just like on my TV show!!!!

[bronco67]

This is just another transparent move by the biggest slimeball ever to occupy the oval office.

Why was he incompetent? Because he wasn't investigating Trump hard enough?

Because he didn't prosecute Clinton.. That's literally Trump's excuse here.. The srawman has started his self-immolation..

Keep in mind the guy heading the DOJ who recommended he be fired is Jeff Sessions who is also a potential target of the investigation with the Russians. Red flags people red flags waving from the White House and they have little sickles & hammers on them..

[TampaToker]

So wait a minute according to Democrats Comey costed Hillary the election. According to Democrats Comey was working to protect Trump. Now Trump fires Comey and Democrats are pissed lol

[OldJeff]

He should have been fired for his comments about Clinton at the time. Way beyond his scope. This however is a pretty transparent move by Drumpf.

^^^
100% percent correct

Trump fired Comey the day after Yates & Clapper testified that the Trump investigation is still open and there's evidence of collusion. Think about that.

In Trumps letter about firing Comey he states that he was told by Comey 3 times that he's no longer under investigation. Do you think Trump is going to hire a new director that contradicts Trumps statement of being cleared? Think about that.

Obama couldn't fire Comey after the Clinton fiasco because he knew the depths of the Trump / Russia FBI investigation, that we've only recently found out about, and changing horses at that point could hinder the investigation.

Trump would have ridden out the investigation if he was innocent, then Comey after being cleared. Trump fired the FBI director the day after the incriminating Yates / Clapper testimony. Think about that.

Did you see the vidclip where Trump praises Comey ?

If Trump was not happy, he should have been fired the day after innauguration . He wasnèt , just praised again .... till he got to close to Trump/Russia with his investigation ...

It is SO OBVIOUS that only brain dead red hats can do such a comment .

It was the Yates & Clapper testimony yesterday that caused Trump to fire Comey today.

The implication from both officials' testimonies was that there may, indeed, be evidence of collusion -- this after months of the White House arguing that Clapper was clear there is no evidence.

Nixon is the only president to fire the FBI director while being investigated , and he did it right before he was charged.

First off Obama should of fired Comey with what he did in making a announcement about the Hillary email servers. Obama should of also fired Comey when he came out on tv and publicly stated Hillary broke the law but he made the decision no reasonable prosecutor would file charges. That is not his job. This is what we know for a fact.

Now did Trump fire Comey because he didn't prosecute Hillary could be.
Did Trump fire Comey after testimony yesterday could be.

Anyways this whole election cycle is political laughing gold. Watching the dems and repubs go back and forth at each other. The dems are crooked as shit and so are the repubs.


Only 3 things i want any president to do is lower taxes, keep economy going and protect our country. I have not seen the dems even remotely mention any game plan they have but to resist Trump. Looks like Trump will be severing another 4 years if dems dont step there game up

Blaming Obama

Trump has fired his staff because of their lies about Russia.

Trumps attorney General recused himself because of his lies about Russia.

Trumps son has confirmed that Trump has lied about his financial ties with Russia.

And you only care about lower taxes, keeping the economy going and protecting our country.

And you blame Obama

Dude Comey has no one to blame but himself. You trying to tell me Obama should of not fired Comey for what he did in outing the Hillary investigation right before the election but failed to mention the Trump investigation? He pissed off both side and now he payed the price.

I already commented on Obama a couple posts back "Obama couldn't fire Comey after the Clinton fiasco because he knew the depths of the Trump / Russia FBI investigation, that we've only recently found out about, and changing horses at that point could hinder the investigation."

Trumps kept Comey for months into his presidency and praising Comey, shaking his hand on TV etc. etc.

Trump fired Comey the day after Yates & Clappers televised testimony under oath indicating collusion has been found & Trump is still under investigation. Today Trump fires Comey, and in his announcement states he was told 3 times by Comey that he's cleared and not under investigation.

Trump fired Comey the same day Grand jury subpoenas are issued in FBI's Russia investigation

Think about that

Lets say you are 100% correct why Trump let him go i will give you that. We really do not honestly know why Trump fired him but i will play along and say its for all the reasons you posted above. Still does not change the fact what Comey did to Hillary was wrong and he deciding to not recommend charges which was not his job. Not to mention he said there will be no investigation on the classified leaks. I am really surprised the left is pissed at his firing since this is the man that put Trump in the white house. Also can you show me where its posted that Trump is being investigated.

So now the FBI just closes shop and cancels all the grand jury subpoenas sent out? Of course not. Investigation continues first thing tomorrow morning.

And put Hillary Clinton in Trumps place today firing the FBI director while being under investigation, after firing staff who lied about their ties to Russia and the attorney general recusing himself for doing the same.

I actually had to go look into this by people post on social media they all made it sound like the investigation is dead lol Now who ever Trump puts in place will be there to protect Trump i can see the chatter already lol

Yep, that's why Dems lose touch with the masses. They take a gift, then way over blow it with hyperbole and make themselves seem unhinged. Lots of issues with the way the firing was done today. The letter to the office, but not bringing him in for a meeting or even a phone call to let him know beforehand. Take him to task for firing someone like that. Mention that the perception looks bad because of the ongoing investigations, and leave it at that. Let people take that and soak it in themselves. But they just can't help themselves.

As for Clinton firing him when she got into office, I'd have no issue with that at all. He bungled the past year up many times and was not fit for the job. I'd hope she'd fire him in person or at least on the phone.

Now if either of them started firing anyone that even remotely worked on the investigations and made it known if you do one iota of work to look into the emails or Russia that they would be fired immediately, then I would have a massive problem with either. And so would the law I'd imagine.

There is nothing to investigate. The Democrats merely need open investigations to help shift the blame for their defeat in November.

Now the real investigations begin. We will have an FBI that takes a close look at Hillary, Lynch and hopefully Obama also. Those are where the real crimes are at. Crimes with real evidence that extends beyond the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrats are pulling Trump down into.

This sets the stage for high profile Democrats going to prison.

Ray Dalio didn't think he was competent to run the bridgewater hedge fund, so he was dismissed.

McConnel is an old school Republican and not a big fan of Trump.

Paul Ryan is trying to stay close to the political center so that more people like him when he runs for president. He also has a lot of Democrat tendencies.

The best quote over on Reddit about the "Russian thing"..

It's hard for me to see any U.S. ties to Russia…except for the Flynn thing and the Manafort thing and the Tillerson thing and the Sessions thing and the Kushner thing and the Carter Page thing and the Roger Stone thing and the Felix Sater thing and the Boris Ephsteyn thing and the Rosneft thing and the Gazprom thing and the Sergey Gorkov banker thing and the Azerbajain thing and the “I love Putin” thing and the Donald Trump, Jr. thing and the Sergey Kislyak thing and the Russian Affiliated Interests thing and the Russian Business Interests thing and the Emoluments Clause thing and the Alex Schnaider thing and the hack of the DNC thing and the Guccifer 2.0 thing and the Mike Pence “I don’t know anything” thing and the Russians mysteriously dying thing and Trump’s public request to Russia to hack Hillary’s email thing and the Trump house sale for $100 million at the bottom of the housing bust to the Russian fertilizer king thing and the Russian fertilizer king’s plane showing up in Concord, NC during Trump rally campaign thing and the Nunes sudden flight to the White House in the night thing and the Nunes personal investments in the Russian winery thing and the Cyprus bank thing and Trump not releasing his tax returns thing and the Republican Party’s rejection of an amendment to require Trump to show his taxes thing and the election hacking thing and the GOP platform change to the Ukraine thing and the Steele Dossier thing and the Leninist Bannon thing and the Sally Yates can’t testify thing and the intelligence community’s investigative reports thing and the Trump reassurance that the Russian connection is all “fake news” thing and the Spicer’s Russian Dressing “nothing’s wrong” thing and the Chaffetz not willing to start an investigation thing and the Chaffetz suddenly deciding to go back to private life in the middle of an investigation thing and the The Lead DOJ Investigator Mary McCord SUDDENLY in the middle of the investigation decides to resign thing and the appointment of Pam Bondi who was bribed by trump in the trump university scandal appointed to head the investigation thing and the The White House going into full-on cover-up mode, refusing to turn over the documents related to the hiring and subsequent firing of Flynn thing and the Chaffetz and White House blaming the poor vetting of Flynn on Obama thing and the Poland and British intelligence gave information regarding the hacking back in 2015 to Paul Ryan and he didn't do anything thing and the Agent M16 following the money thing And now the trump team KNEW about Flynn's involvement but hired him anyway thing and The Corey Lewendowski thing and the Preet Bharara firing thing but before he left he transferred evidence against trump to a state level Schneiderman thing And the Betsy Devos' Brother thing And the Sebastian Gorka thing And the Greg Gianforte from Montana thing And the pence actually was warned about Flynn before he was hired thing and the Pence and Manafort connection thing And the 7 Allies coming forward with audio where trump was picked up in incidental wire tapping thing and the carter Page defying the Senate's order to hand over his Russian contact list AND NOW the trump wants to VETO Sally Yates' testimony thing!!!

SO yeah there’s probably nothing there!

BTW, there was only 1 other FBI directer who has ever been fired our history. That firing resulted in a 6 month investigation as to why he was fired, concluding with a 161 page report.. Not even Nixon was dumb enough to fire the FBI director.. Not to mention a director who was in the middle of an investigation that has serious implications about our country's security..

Trump is fucking dumber than even I could imagine him being.. He's now finally pissed Republicans off enough to do their jobs. The Senate investigation panel today has requested all financial information about the Trump team from the treasury's criminal investigation unit. This includes Trump and will mean his tax returns... Trump has a long history of being investigated and fined by the treasury dept criminal investigation dept so they will have lots to hand over on him..

Also many Republicans are now finally agreeing we need a independent special prosecutor.

Also Mat26z aka JoushaMo.... you look like a fucking idiot trying to make excuses at this point..

And he has been that for quite awhile, however it didn't bug Trump until two days before he was going to testify in front of congress.

This will all blow up soon into the biggest political bomb in our history. It will make Watergate look like jaywalking, and hopefully there will be a firing squad or public hanging for all of them from Trump right down to Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

This is going to be difficult to prove one way or the other, but is probably a total fabrication on Chumps part knowing Comey will be unable to refute this in public, due to the classified nature of the topic ?

Its obvious from the fallout that Chump and his team of monkeys grossly underestimated the reaction from Comey's firing. Now he has to do something more outlandish to take attention away from this fuck up. Im afraid to think what that may be.
