YES!!!


Yeah, I don't think so. He knew there would be blowback. He doesn't care. His tweets reach the American people without liberal bias through media. I'm happy he does.

And don't you know that Bill Clinton also fired the FBI director? It's not like it hasn't been done before.


This argument is tired. Clinton's FBI director was defrauding the government (using private jet for personal use, using FBI funds to make home upgrades) and was rightly fired. Stop with the tangents.

No balls. No class. Not a real man anyone can respect. A whiny tantumming baby.

No it had to be more calculated than that. He's making an example of Comey. He allowed Flynn to resign, despite the fact that he had lied to the FBI. But Comey is being asked to leave because he's lost the confidence of the American public, but no specific charges of wrongdoing, and he gets publicly fired without any chance to resign and save face?!

Trump's a showman, but even he's not that dumb.



Agreed, he is sending a strong message to prevent something bigger from happening.

Defund the investigation, re-allocate resources, etc... hence the reason for firing the FBI lead

Not the PP but I agree - of the 30+ pages about 5 of them have real on topic points, the rest are deflecting the blame away from Trump... by paid trolls


Also, people with jobs (mostly smart people) do not have time to look through all 30+ pages if they clicked on the thread late

I guess that's the liberal's way of saying you disagree with my theory. (Never miss a chance to insult someone wih a differing opinion!) Would you care to rebut with anything of significance?

And no, IQ in top 5%.

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.


MIGHT she have? Maybe. She didn't win so we won't ever know. She wouldnt have been under investigation for russian ties so I'm inclined to think she would have had no reason to and would have respected the 10 year appointment. And if not, she would have done the firing the first working day after inauguration, not balls deep into an investigation into her campaign.

Comey deserves to be fired. No one who uses lack of "criminal intent" as an excuse to not prosecute deserves to lead the investigative agency of the federal government.

No one who openly admits that the DOJ had acted in a way that betrayed the trust of the people yet did not recommend prosecution should be allowed to stay. He bragged about this in the context of how he navigated the turbulent currents that is Hillary's email investigation.

I doubt Comey has done the vast majority of work on the Russia stuff.

The Clinton email server was first brought up be low level tech govt employees in 2010 and they were shut down. Now if State, Justice, FBI had simply followed through on that there would have been zero issue. ie Sorry my dear you just can't do that...

The whole thing is just silly. Lots of Comey's career has been spent on Clintons.

Anonymous wrote: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.



I can actually find this somewhat believable. AndI might have even been a little impressed if Trump had fired him in January saying "even though his actions helped me, I value the rule of law and the importance of following deparment procedures, so I'm firing the guy who helped put me in office"

Now, it sure seems like he's firing Comey because he is leading an investigation into the Trump team. That's reprehensible.
