No, he's not some GS-scale Fed. He serves at the "pleasure of the President". Legally, POTUS can remove him at any time for any reason, or no reason. It would have been reasonable in January or even last week when his wrongful testimony was given. But the day after the POTUS "perma-pinned" to his account banner a misleading tweet about Clapper dismissing Russia ties is suspicious.

What's also suspicious is that people who defy him seem to have a habit of conveniently getting fired right around Russia-related stuff coming out (e.g. Yates planned meeting with WHC re: Flynn back in January)...and their learning about it from TV news. OK, the latter is just incompetence

My first thought. Giuliani is up to his eyeballs.

Apparently Andrew McCabe, who worked on the Hillary email mess, is in line as interim. Coincidence? You decide.

Right, the only crime uncovered so far is the violation of Flynn's personal liberty by illegally leaking classified information to the press.

Exactly.

Democrats, what do you really want? Many of you want Comey fired, and Trump fulfilled your wish. Now you are complaining about the timing. Comey's direct boss at the Justice department was just confirmed a week ago. If you had confirmed him sooner, Comey would have been gone earlier.

Ok, brain trust.

His direct boss didn't need to fire him. Trump could have let him go in January and the timing wouldn't be suspect due to the Russian collusion investigation.

This makes Trump look bad as does the 2nd paragraph in the firing letter.

Yates?

Trump's stated reasoning makes no sense. Why did he fire Comey?

Why was Sessions involved? He is supposed to be recused from anything touching the Russia investigation.

Ive posted this question.
