| BTW, Trump is lashing out on Twitter. He is acting like a cornered animal |

He made you notice. Ha. |

He had no idea that there would be a backlash. Trump called some members of Congress before the firing, to get them on his side. Schumer told him it would be a mistake. Trump was surprised and obviously didn't listen. |

Notice what? That he is a moron who got in way over his head and sees no way out now? Sure |

He can't function until Jarod has his security clearance. Wonder if this will make Jarod's lies irrelevant |

| Is it possible that Trump is just so incompetent and ignorant of history that he just didn't understand how bad this would look? |

I didn't read through all 32 pages, so sorry if something similar has been posted before, but here's my theory on Comey:
A. After investigstimg Hillary's multiple felonies (regarding both her blatant disregard of rules involving national security and the pay-for-play donations to the CF), he was mortified that someone with such little regard for the country - and only for herself - could be president. He wanted to "follow the evidence" as they say and refer her for prosecution. The deal would be that Lynch would fall her on sword and save Hillary, per Obama's instructions. B. Once the secret rendezvous between Lynch and the FBI's target's wife (who happened to be a former president), Lynch could no longer allow the referral to even be made to her, since deciding against prosecution would clearly demonstrate that the fix was in. Comey was strong-armed into doing it for her. C. Comey was sick about it, so he decided that while he could not formally refer the case, he would lay out all of Hillary's wrongdoings, and let the voters decide. He was certain that once people knew how Hillary put her own ambitions ahead of national security, then wouldn't vote for her. D. Then, right before the election, when polls showed she was in the lead, he was sick again. He single-handledy had earlier paved the way for a person deserving of jail to become president. That, combined with the fact that he had told Congress that the investigation was over, led him to disclose that they were looking into additional emails they discovered. |

Yes, this seems likely to me. |

Yes. Reports suggest exactly this. Wh was not prepared for blowback. |

The only that shocked me was that Trump didn't fire Comey in January for letting Hillary off the hook. |

Sure, anything is possible. And Trump fired Comey for being too hard on her. Or too easy on her, I'm getting those reasons mixed up. |

Well, he didn't. So why did he fire him now? |

| He definitely thought because Dems had issues with Comeys Oct 28 letter that they would be happy with this. Failing of course to grasp the bigger picture which is that though he may have done things neither side can fully explain or comprehend, Comey was leading an investigation of great magnitude and import on the man who fired him. The president fired the guy running oversight on him. This is a 10 year appointment specifically to avoid politics interfering with continuity of justice. It's nothing to celebrate. There would have been assasination attempts on Hillary already had she won and done this. |

You honestly think Her Royal Highness wouldn't have fired Comey, after he almost killed her victory with the October surprise and was overseeing an investigstion into her dubious CF donations? History suggests that the Clintons don't hesitate to fire people and replace them with their own loyal army. |
