Trump’s Firing of Comey ‘a Big Mistake’

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York: "Earlier this afternoon President Trump called me and informed me he was firing Director Comey. I told the president, 'Mr. President with all due respect you are making a big mistake.' The first question the administration has to answer is why now? If Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein does not appoint an independent special prosecutor every American will rightly suspect that the decision to fire Director Comey was part of a coverup."’

Reaction pours in over sudden firing of FBI Director James Comey

Exactly.

The American people deserve the appointment of an independent special prosecutor so that they might learn the truth.

Neither the administration nor Congressional Republicans have any desire to search for the truth.

I'm certain Schumer is really concerned for Trump.

There is only one reasonable explanation for FBI Director James Comey to be launching a counter-intel investigation in July 2016, notifying the White House and Clapper, and keeping it under wraps from congress. Comey was a participant in the intelligence gathering for political purposes – wittingly, or unwittingly. The Final Top Tier Intel Black Hat Leaker Removed…

James Comey firing was inevitable
In Comey’s case, his power supposedly was based on his ongoing investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election, an investigation that has turned up nothing of great importance, certainly nothing to substantiate charges of Russia “hacking the election.”

In fact, Comey had been a dead man walking for some time. He was a director without a constituency. He had tried to strike a balance in a sharply divided political environment and wound up alienating both sides. He had to go.

Wow dumbasses what happened to your "Comey politically wrecked Hillary's election" and all that crap.

Astounding you can drop all that (and ignore how dangerous it is to have a politicized FBI) just to bitch at Trump lol

“The question before us now is whether Trump will get away with it. There is no question that the President has the legal authority to remove the FBI director. But there’s also no question that removing the FBI Director in the midst of a high-stakes investigation of Russian influence in the inner circle of the President’s campaign and White House is a horrifying breach of every expectation we have of the relationship between the White House and federal law enforcement.”

The Nightmare Scenario: Trump Fires Comey, the One Man Who Would Stand Up to Him

The question is rhetorical – of course Trump will get away with it; the blind, partisan right will protect and defend Trump regardless the facts and evidence.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

An independent prosecutor to investigate Hillary's and other Dems involvement in this last election would seem prudent.

*****CHUCKLE*****

 

[MarathonMike]

Pfffft. Comey doesn't stand up to anybody. He stands up to get attention for himself.

It is the final outing of the Republican party. They put their party above the country and all else. There is no higher authority to them than their party just as it was with the Communist Party in the old Soviet Union. The Republicans in government are the Politburo now.

They will even cover up Russian interference in our elections and now in the election in France. No need to guess why the world views the US as weak now, the Republicans have shown in broad daylight that they will sell out the country to anyone for political gain. You have to see these people for who they really are, they are not Americans anymore. This we must now accept. Their political party is their one and only god.

This was a no win for Comey and Trump. Comey injected himself into the political environment to the point that he was despised and lauded by both parties through out the election season. Frankly, the leader of the FBI needs to nearly anonymous. I'm not sure if Comey is a bad guy, but he definitely didn't have a clear understanding of his role.

I agree with you except for one point. Exchange Republican for Democrat. The Dems do as they're told for the party. They are the quintessential sheep. Take a look at the most recent voting for the new healthcare bill. The Dems rammed BOcare thru easily when they had the majority. Libs like you ridiculed the GOP for not being able to pass a bill because they had too many members unwilling to acquiesce for the good of the party. You missed bad on that one fig newton.

It sounds better this way...

It is the final outing of the Democratic party. They put their party above the country and all else. There is no higher authority to them than their party just as it was with the Communist party in the old Soviet Union. The Democrats in government are the Politburo now.

This is why they burn down college campuses when conservative speakers show up. This is why they supported shooting LEO's during their failed election campaign. An prime example of Democratic perfidy happened during the Democratic caucuses leading to their 'number one' candidate. Let's not forget how far 'number one' was ahead in the polls as the election progressed under the fake news media.

Perhaps we need to start a fund for progressives like the one they have for the server. You know... So we afford to pass out tissues, play doh, crayons, coloring books, pups to hug, bowls of pretzels, and the like. There might be to many microaggressions around here for some of progressives to handle reality..... I think maybe this post should be a thread in itself somewhere else like the announcement section.

*****CHUCKLE*****





We could also use the fund to provide popcorn and beer for the more conservative members.

Comey is a crooked bitch. He and the Russians stole the election from Hillary. That still doesn't excuse Trump from firing the head of the investigation into that orange fool's connections with Russia.

Can you guys make up your mind if Comey sucks or is the next incantation of Jesus H Christ? Keeping track is getting confusing

He Sucks, He Rocks, He Sucks, He Rocks, He Sucks Rocks!

Well now, you had two separate groups in the GOP dissenting. The far right, that want a Randian society where only the rich have rights. And the moderates that would like to see the American Citizen get a square deal. The far right won on the second bill. And several GOP reps are going to pay for the win of the far right of the GOP.

Any Dem voting for that bill would lose in the primary. A number of the GOP will lose exactly like that for that vote. That is why the GOP in the Senate state they are simply going to ignore that bill, and write one of their own.
