He became to much of a political power
he fucked over too many people
Ha! How convenient.
Trump has something to hide and this guy was getting too close to the truth. Trump has links with Russia.
It would be very interesting if these strands between Putin, Trump, Farage, Jones and Assange were proven. It sounds like a very intriguing bit of conspiracy.
“The decision by a President whose campaign associates are under investigation by the FBI for collusion with Russia to fire the man overseeing that investigation, upon the recommendation of an Attorney General who has recused himself from that investigation, raises profound questions about whether the White House is brazenly interfering in a criminal matter,”
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee

@brocktonblockbust @walrus
The pressure of all the investigations is getting to Trump. He's starting to crack up. Expect more firings along this line.
Last week Comey asked Trump for more funds to expand the Russia investigation. A week later Trump fires him ostensibly for being too unfair to Hillary Clinton during the email investigation. This despite Trump being previously on the record multiple times saying what a great job Comey did. Even GOP Senators are mocking the reason Trump gave. "Preposterous", "no possible honest explanation for it" and so on. Trump also fired the acting Attorney General, who was in ultimate charge of the Russia investigation, for being too pro-Hillary. And fired the NY State Attorney who was investigating amongst other things his New Jersey Trump casino money laundering cases/fines and his ties to Russian mafia figures. And that was after saying he wouldn't fire him because it would make Trump look like a crook trying to obstruct justice. Everybody investigating him gets fired. It's getting to be a habit. Fortunately he can't fire the New York Attorney General.
It's never the original crime that eventually nails these fuckers, it's the attempted coverup. But even Nixon didn't fire his FBI chief. That's going to create more angry people than you can imagine. If Trump thought he had problems with leaks before just wait for the next few weeks. The top GOP people need to have a rethink too. They don't even know what they're covering up.
I can only imagine the GOP/media reaction if the Kenyan tyrant had fired the Director of the FBI while he was heading an investigation into whether high crimes had been committed.
He had grown enraged by the Russia investigation, two advisers said, frustrated by his inability to control the mushrooming narrative around Russia. He repeatedly asked aides why the Russia investigation wouldn’t disappear and demanded they speak out for him. He would sometimes scream at television clips about the probe, one adviser said.

"While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation I nevertheless concur with the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau"
IT WAS THE RUSSIANS!!!!!!! RUSSIAN DRESSING!!!!! RUSSIAN VODKA!!!!!! RUSSIAN DOLLS ONE HIDDEN INSIDE THE OTHER!!!!!!
The outrageousness of the left is HILARIOUS.
Trump was told he wasn't a target of the investigation. Being the target of an investigation is a specific legal term. If the investigation progressed (subpoenas were issues for various Flynn associates yesterday) to the point where guys like Flynn were indicted and then offered a deal to tell the truth then Trump would become a target of the investigation. But these investigations take years and Trump holds the highest office in the land. It's not something that can happen overnight. I'm pretty sure nobody will roll over on him as far as Russia goes and the worst that will happen is that he just looks incompetent for letting Russia run his campaign to the extent they did. What he really needs to worry about are the money laundering investigations and his ties to various crooks. Comey getting fired will supercharge the Russia story in the media and stuff that has slipped under the radar like Trump casinos being charged/paying fines for laundering Russian money will get an airing. Lots of leaks to come the next few weeks anyway.
Trump can not keep attacking and sacking everyone that disagrees with him. Media, court and FBI have disagreed with Trump and they face his wraith. He is a dictator and maybe that is why he likes Russian and Putin so much.
@Master it's not about "disagreement" it's about neither Republicans NOR Democrats have faith in Comey running the FBI it's a FACT

That's a crowd of 100% lefties and when their puppet master breaks the news......THEY CHEER!!!! The average American citizen (something neither you or Kirkland are) celebrates this, until the left takes another crack at indoctrination on this issue
White Russian
The truth will come out eventually no matter how hard Trump suppresses it.
That's a good idea man
https://media.tenor.co/images/ab8eed...14f1/tenor.gif
You can't suppress something that's not there Master....but hey bring on the Witch trial
Sorry but this just doesn't add up.
Comey, whether anyone admits it or not, helped out Trump big time just prior to the elections by renewing the investigation into Hillary's emails. Comey was praised by Trump at the time. All of a sudden, Comey's doing a shitty job and gets fired barely 100 days into the Presidency. .... and I guess we're not to think this has anything to do with the ongoing investigation into Russia involvement or meddling in the election.
It's tough as Trump gets harder and harder to defend, I gather.
I seem to recall.....

Whataboutisms again.....uh... Uh...well Whatabout Hilary... Uh....uh...well what about Obama. It's a refusal to engage with debate.
It doesn't matter, Lyle. Dems could form a picket line from NY to LA, joining hands and chanting leftist songs... and it wouldn't matter one bit as far as Trump is concerned, which is just fine. So we're not talking Dems here. We're talking about an abrupt about-face by Trump on a guy who he very recently lavished praise onto, and who was at least partly to blame for Hillary not being elected. Which before you react, is still a good thing. I may not like nor trust Trump.... but I sure as hell didn't want Hillary either. But this latest action and the timing leaves a lot to be desired. His people are having to scramble to explain it away. The only thing that sticks out like an elephant in the room is the Russia investigation. So does this mean part of the job interview for new FBI Director may include a question about whether or not the candidate would pursue such an investigation? Smells like fish.
Pretty much. Especially as he asked for more money to investigate the Trump-Russia ties, where Trump apparently asked him to shut down the investigation. VERY convenient, especially after Trump praised him so much, as a candidate, over everything, including the "Clinton's emails gate".Quote:

And here's Donnie praising Comey a dozen times and KAC trying to divert the topic from Anderson Cooper.

If it smells like a fish, has scales like a fish and swims like a fish you have to have at least to entertain the possibility it may be a fish.
Yeh I'm not to big on a President canning the guy leading the major investigation on an enemies interference in our elections. It smells as crooked as it comes, the timing is shady and the execution was astoundingly unprofessional. People are too damn stuck on labels and towing party lines. Stop be herded sheep less you follow right over the cliff ffs.
:vd:
Andrew McCabe is now the acting director of the FBI
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_G._McCabe
Suuuuuch a hardline Republican :rolleyes:
'acting' not a permanent selection. This is a default to all I heard last night, "well lets wait to see who he appoints to replace Comey". The fact is he floated a turd of a lame excuse in the first place to terminate a man Trump has previously held praise for and I believe impeding the ongoing investigation was at the root.
Too much power he had to go.
Alright.....and your take on the Democrats who were calling for Comey to be fired long long ago? They have ended up getting what they called for and yet they are still unsatisfied....perhaps everyone would be better off if Trump said "I resign, oh and before Pence takes over I'd like to appoint Hillary as President, after all she REALLY WON SUPERSERIAL"
It's endless nonsense

Maxine Waters is asked "Had Hillary won, should she have fired James Comey?"
Her response "Well let me tell you something, if she had won the White House given what he (Comey) did to her and what he (Comey) tried to do she SHOULD have fired him."
http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-conte...mind-blown.gif
I put it right up there with the hypocrisy also shown by POTUS who massaged a message when it benefited him politically and/or personally. Many Dems had a serious case of knots in their arse when Comey appeared to jump the gun and put himself into the spotlight immediately in front of the election but in hindsight you can fault their luke warm candidate and baggage more so. I'll do 101 things today and the one that will not make the list is pretending to defend let alone listen to anything Maxine "IMPEACH NOW" Waters says. That said whatever outrage some dems had and their questions about Comey had erupted prior to this official investigation being launched. Trump has never shown respect for the wider Intelligence community, he's publically mocked and dismissed them and has been more than rabid with the FBI involving leaks. You do not remove the head of an investigation involving yourself and our election once it's underway. Especially when you crack jokes and yuk it up with the Russian foreign minister in the oval office the very next day. They are laughing right in our face from OUR house.
..ah yes because The Clintons had 0 ties to Russia and had Hillary won this would be a non-issue right?
Just for me, just do a little snooping and search out the connections between The Clintons and Russia, just try....and after that come back and tell me all about how horrible Trump is because Putin wanted him to win (supposedly)
