"President Trump on Thursday cited the FBI’s investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election in explaining his decision to fire Director James Comey.

“Regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey,” Trump said during an interview on "NBC Nightly News," insisting "there was no good time to do it."

“And in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story,’” Trump continued."

Obstruction. Of. Justice.

Active investigation, and you get rid of the guy in charge. Definitely obstruction of justice. That in and of itself is a crime.

The problem is that the Acting Director has since testified that firing Comey will not impede the investigation.

I hope you're right, but if political appointees didn't control the direction and finances of agencies, we wouldn't have political appointees.

WASHINGTON—In the weeks before President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, a federal investigation into potential collusion between Trump associates and the Russian government was heating up, as Mr. Comey became increasingly occupied with the probe.

Mr. Comey started receiving daily instead of weekly updates on the investigation, beginning at least three weeks ago, according to people with knowledge of the matter and the progress of the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe. Mr. Comey was concerned by information showing possible evidence of collusion, according to these people.

Yeah, that's - ahem - kind of a bombshell. Seriously. But how would it have traveled to Trump? It's not like Comey was keeping Trump apprised of these activities.

I'm sure there was some Trump loyalist in the FBI more than willing to leak info to the President.

And surely Trump and Co were plugging their ears because LEAKS ARE ILLEGAL AND BAD!

Trump invited Comey to dinner one day after the Acting AG approached WH Counsel McGahn. He then queried Comey about his "loyalty." Huckabee-Sanders is lying out of her Mississippi ass about the "countless" agents she claims to have spoken with. It would be wholly inappropriate for an advisor to the campaign such as herself to discuss this with anyone at the Bureau and FBI personnel would be required to report the contact. FBI agents are now replacing their FB profile photos with one of Comey. Trump's "shock event" is backfiring bigly. Sad!

It feels like the train of justice is accelerating.

And it's on the same track as the Trump Train. The two are on a collision course.

Rank and file FBI agents respected Comey. This has hit most hard.

And you know that by how, pulling it out of your arse?

The rank and file FBI agents are spread throughout the country. If you are judging locally, the skew may be a little different. Many were extremely upset last summer with his actions. That doesn't mean they dislike him, but it does mean they lost respect for him. They take pride in their role.

But, Bill Maher has said it best--this is Bill Clinton's fault. He started this fiasco. Not Donald Trump.

Oh please. Like the Trump train would have respected Loretta Lynch's ruling on HRC even if she had been able to make one.

Nope. That would have been political, as well. If it weren't, she would have recused herself. Please remember, it was just luck that we even heard about the airplane visit. It was not supposed to be public information.

As far as the FBI investigation into Clinton, Comey summed up the infractions--but, there was not much new in what he revealed. It had mostly been in the papers. Destroying evidence after it had been subpoenaed--and, yet, no charges? Pretty sure that there would have been an outcry.

I know that you want to believe there is collusion with the Russians--but there is no evidence. Clapper said so. Feinstein said so. I believe that Flynn broke some laws, but I think it unlikely that there was collusion there, either. So, where is the crime?

I don't think there was collusion by Trump. But all those dear Russians. Something happened. And Trump is guilty of money laundering, which is a crime.

Christ almighty, seek help for your Clinton Derangement Syndrome. It's pathological. No, this one is entirely on Donald "the Grand High Dirttbag" Trump - you know, the coward who fired the director of the FBI basically on TV because he thought he could quash the investigation into his treachery.

Do tell...when did all this come out? Or has it?
