You know what's amusing, Joey? The very same liberals that were calling for Comey's head following the election...now seem to believe he was the best thing since sliced bread and how DARE Donald Trump fire him!
The thing is, it wasn't Trump's place to fire him. The FBI director has a 10 year term for a reason, and if you are going to fire him, then you'd damned well better have made a good case. (Bill Clinton did exactly that when he fired Sessions in 1993.)
Now, there were probably a lot of good reasons to fire Comey or convince him it was time to retire... but that's a case you build and get bipartisan support for. You don't have some underling make up something, and then say, "Naw, I was going to fire him anyway because of that Russia thing I am implicated in!"
The FBI Director serves at the President's will.
No, it's a ten year term for a reason.
Comey was an idiot. Anyone listening to his painfully convoluted explanation about how Hillary Clinton broke the law but didn't break the law knew that.
Actually, it was convoluted because he was trying to please everyone.
Now if he had said, "Yup, Mrs. Clinton didn't follow the archiac rules, just like 90% of people who handle these documents don't follow these rules, but if I got this case in front of a grand jury of 12 DC voters, they'd laugh me out of court for wasting their time!" THAT would have been honest.
Obama should have fired him long before the election and probably would have if the "fix" wasn't in with Loretta Lynch and Hillary.
Or not. Here's the thing, and without sounding like a Libertarian Loon, but because we have so many freakin' laws in this country, I promise you, you give me an unlimited budget to turn your life upside down, I WILL find some law you broke. Probably unintentionally. And the Clintons have had to put up with this shit for 25 years now. Sweet Evil Jesus, I wouldn't want someone spending 70 million investigating my sex life, would you? But that's what Ken Starr did when he couldn't find the Clintons did anything wrong in Whitewater but make a bad investment.
If the FBI investigates Biff with the same fervor they investigated the Clintons, the guy is going to be in serious trouble.
