[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Within the Justice Department and the FBI, the firing of Comey has left raw anger, and some fear, according to multiple officials. Thomas O’Connor, the president of the FBI Agents Association, called Comey’s firing “a gut punch. We didn’t see it coming, and we don’t think Director Comey did anything that would lead to this.’’
Many employees said they were furious about the firing, saying the circumstances of his dismissal did more damage to the FBI’s independence than anything Comey did in his three-plus years in the job.
One intelligence official who works on Russian espionage matters said they were more determined than ever to pursue such cases. Another said Comey’s firing and the subsequent comments from the White House are attacks that won’t soon be forgotten. Trump had “essentially declared war on a lot of people at the FBI,” one official said. “I think there will be a concerted effort to respond over time in kind.”

Didn't do anything? Please. Since when does intent to commit a crime matter, except for in the length of the sentence? And clearly, if Comey leaned on intent, then there WAS a crime committed. We have soldiers in jail for less. He showed his partisanship then and his firing was long overdue.[/quote]

I've read this three times and it still doesn't make any sense.[/quote]

Because you are clearly not understanding that when Comey goes through a list of the ways Hillary broke the law, then says "well, she didn't show intent", that doesn't mean she didn't' break the law and shouldn't have been charged. Intent simply changes what she's charged with and sentencing, i.e. murder vs manslaughter for example.  We have soldiers in jail for violating classification laws who also didn't have intent to do so.

The law should be applied equally to all individuals. Comey did not do so, and his firing was long overdue.[/quote]

Aha, I see why you're not making any sense - because you're STILL TALKING ABOUT HILLARY. Please keep up.

P.S. Also realize that the rules are different for soldiers and civilians.[/quote]

We are talking about why Comey was fired. The reason DOES relate to the way he handled Hillary Clinton - there was no equal application under the law. This is why liberals like yourself are so quick to dismiss anyone talking about Hillary Clinton. Speaking about how she was provided special treatment completely destroys your argument.

Different 'rules'? Really? So what you are saying is that Hillary Clinton is so special, that she can violate the law and get away with it. Yes, I agree. Politicians are being given special rules, and should NOT be. [/quote]

You quoted a post containing an article with 30 sources reporting that the firing was not at all about Hillary, to talk more about Hillary. That's why I didn't understand. If you actually think that Trump fired Comey because of anything to do with Hillary, you're dumber than I can possibly imagine. Perhaps there's an oceanfront condo in West Palm that Trump can sell you as well.[/quote]
