I would have fired him after negotiating with Hillary over taking the email server with classified material on it. You don't negotiate, you confiscate it immediately, no questions asked.

Do you really think that Lynch ever intended to prosecute Hillary--she couldn't even tolerate an "investigation".......she wouldn't recuse herself.

So, do I like Trump's behavior? NO. Is it any different from Hillary's behavior? It's not any worse.



This is what I've been saying about HRC, too, and I'm not a fan. I'm a former R; couldn't stand the Clintons in the 90's. But, to Trumpsters, Trump gets a pass for cheating, lying, etc.., but her? She's called every name in the book, and Trumpsters wanted to "lock her up". Maybe she was right. Maybe those who voted for Trump because they thought HRC was a cheat and liar are sexist.

Only Trump could beat Hillary. The rest didn't know how to play half as dirty as Hillary.


Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the dirtiest of them all? 45!

It's all about Trump wanting loyalists to protect him. Comey was not beholden to Trump, so Trump can't guarantee his loyalty. Trump sees that as a threat.

This so-called POTUS is truly frightening. He becomes more of a threat to this country everyday he is in office. He truly wants to run that office like his personal family owned business. God help us all. You Trumpsters have truly screwed us.


It is what happens when we give the American voters a choice between two unpalatable choices. Hillary should never have been the nominee of the Democratic party. I don't blame just the Trump voters ....... I think we bear some responsibility for nominating a disastrous candidate.

? Nope. Every one needs to take ownership of their own choices, not the choices of others.


With every day that passes, each bringing its own set of "holy sh!t" news items about Trump, Hillary, as "disastrous" as she'd been portrayed, keeps looking nowhere near as bad.

Isn't it a possibility that Trump wanted to get rid of Comey, then Rosenstein said he wasn't pleased with Comey and didn't see how working with him was going to work smoothly, so Trump said "that's all I needed to hear. Let's do it." Likely Trump's enormous ego didn't want to give up credit for having the idea on his own so when questioned today, he twisted it a bit.

I think both things can be true.

Well, also, a key difference between Trump and Hillary is that one of them is POTUS and the other one isn't. Also, one of them just fired the FBI Director.

Go eff yourself. No, we're not doing this. We have the Republican candidate who WORKED WITH RUSSIA TO GET ELECTED. Game over. The GOP sucks. It is the treason party.


Go eff YOURself. That's what you should be doing for nominating a person who lost to this guy! Keep on spouting assumptions as facts. It's a good excuse in the meantime. Add it to the pile of 'em. The thinking amongst us will wait until there is proof.


You're still a quisling, GOPtard.

He's lying. He didn't need a ginned-up paper trail to fire Comey. He thinks this new spin makes him appear "decisive." He forgets what Pence and Huckabee-Sanders were told to spin. Trump was fully supportive of Comey until his recent testimony.


Alzheimer's will do that.

Or, when one lies a lot, one tends to forget what they said and the lies start to fall apart.

It contradicts what Mike Pence and Sarah Huckabee Sanders said with regard to the firing.


Maybe the people around him should stop trying to make things more palatable and start speaking the truth. It's so much easier. Comey was fired because he hurt the president's feelings and couldn't be trusted to protect him.

What have they got to lose?


Maybe they didn't know that until they heard the President say it. How can anyone make anything more palatable when they don't know what he's going to say? Kudos to them for trying to get a consistent message out but...President Trump is Freebird. "...And this bird you can not chain."
