The takeover starts!

In a Tuesday statement, the press secretary said the president "terminated and removed" Comey from office "based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions."

wtf?
why now?
why didn't Trumpf do it when he took office back in Jan?

The president just fired the head of the FBI while he and his associates are under investigation by the FBI for possible collusion with a hostile foreign power.

Can you imagine what conservatives would have done if Clinton fired the head of the FBI while he was investigating her email server or the Clinton Foundation?

No matter what, the optics of this are unbelievably bad. If this doesn't motivate congressional republicans to do their jobs then I don't know what will.

What a frigging joke this is. Filibuster any candidate Trump puts up and grill the shit out of them.

 

[JSt0rm]

i hope trump nukes the human race.

 

[Thebobo]

Third world stuff here, scary actually.

Wow.

Looks horrible for Trump and his people too, way to validate all the comparisons to Nixon.

Him being fired won't deter the investigation from happening, him testifying, or him being indicted if the evidence points that way. Whether it's a smart or stupid political move I don't care.

/puts popcorn in the microwave, heads over to "Indictments coming" thread....

Well people didn't like Comey and I just replied to someone who said so. Time to go, and so Trump decided to be sympathetic to Hillary and toss him. I'm sure you will be thrilled with the replacement. Rejoyce Hillarites!

What, you guys didn't want Comey fired? Given how he blew his testimony before Congress and everything else?

One of the complaints made was that Hillary was let off.

lol. Most incompetent administration in history.

You care enough to post this shit.

Who appoints the Director of the FBI? Do you know?

 

[UNCjigga]

I wonder how they'll pin Comey's failures on Obama this time?

I wonder if Rudy Giuliani has jizzed his pants yet.

So your argument is that the director of the FBI cannot influence the investigations of the FBI?

Interesting. Tell me more.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Translation: You said you weren't investigating me but I don't trust you. Yer fired!

of course you dont. Russian sympathizer. How would your grandfather who served in ww2 feel about you being a traitor to the nation?

No true patriot would ever think like you.

This makes little sense to me unless he's hiding something. Firing the guy who is in charge of investigating your administration makes you look super guilty. If you aren't guilty why endure the horrible optics?
