Obviously you are a serious business pro. It's an excellent idea to tell your employees you want to fire them long before the decision has been finalized, and it would never hurt morale or possible endanger national security.

Believe whatever you want to, but the bolded is in direct conflict with his numerous public statements/tweets until about last week or so. And also against all the reporting that has come out since he canned him.
Nonsense. Trump wanted to fire Comey for awhile. The DECISION to fire Comey was made after the AG's recommendation. Lie not found.
Wanting to do something and actually doing it are two different things.
President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"I was going to fire Comey," Trump told NBC News' Lester Holt in an interview. "Regardless of the recommendation I was going to fire Comey."

When did I claim this? Please quote me.
Obama made a general statement. The general statement becomes a lie if the election was rigged by the Russians. Whether or not Obama was directly referring to Russians is irrelevant.
Another lie from you.
Initial White House statement on Comey firing:

Trump statement now:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/trump-james-comey-nbc/index.html
One of those statements from the Trump administration is a lie. You are a liar for trying to hide this. Shameful.

Obama did not make a general statement, he replied to a specific question about vote integrity.
Ownage? You have an interesting perspective here. Today we just found out that Trump in fact decided to fire Comey himself despite the stories they told the last few days. And you have confidence in the guy who was the scapegoat for this LIE and chose to trash his reputation instead of coming out and telling the truth.
Honestly the shifting sands of this story give credence to the the story that Rosenstein was uncomfortable being the scapegoat and did threaten to quit.
"I was going to fire Comey," Trump told NBC News' Lester Holt in an interview. "Regardless of the recommendation I was going to fire Comey."
You understand what "regardless" means right? Are you a troll?
Also shredding the Administrations cred on this issue is that Rosenstein testified that Comey was well liked and respected, directly opposite of the WH's claim. This looks so bad it's incredible. Can we exhume Nixon and put him in the Big Chair? I'd like that better.
Wow, no wonder you're still on Team Trump...you don't know what a lie is!!!When did I claim this? Please quote me.

It seems to mean liberals are going to get completely unhinged.
I'm pretty sure it means, correctly, the president is the one who makes the final decision, and Trump was prepared to override the attorney general if he had to.
But he didn't. You are crying about a big "what if" scenario that has already passed and didn't happen. What is the big deal?
Well fuck me then Right guy wrong name.That's McCabe. The acting director.
Wow, no wonder you're still on Team Trump...you don't know what a lie is!!!
So. You believe that Russia can rig the election in favor of a candidate who shouldn't win otherwise, and that doesn't impact vote integrity?
What exactly does "vote integrity" mean for us if it doesn't even mean the election is legit?
Ummmm. Can we just go with the correction? Not that you're not an attractive man, I'm sure.....Well fuck me then Right guy wrong name.
The White House said Trump fired Comey based on the recommendation of the AG.
The White House later said Trump was going to fire Comey regardless of the recommendation of the AG.
Both of those statements cannot be true. One is a lie.
You understand what "regardless" means right? Are you a troll?
You don't need to ask me these questions, you can just look directly at the question asked of Obama and his response to it. The way you attempted to represent what he said was false. This is either because you were duped by right wing media or because you're a liar. Initially I was willing to accept that you were just duped by unscrupulous right wing media but now that you've continued to defend your statement and have tried to further distort the meaning of what Obama said the obvious conclusion is that you're a liar.
It's ironic that you followed up your claim of never lying with a huge lie but that's your problem, not ours. You got busted, time to own up to it.
Nice try at another classic fskimospy weasel diversion. But we were specifically talking about the report I posted where the DOJ denied that Rosenstein threatened to quit and you then actually deemed an unnamed source to be more credible than the DOJ in that pea-sized irrationally partisan brain of yours. And lastly, your little lecture on confirmation bias was especially delicious...your self-ownage has no bounds!DSF, you're seriously losing your mind here. Maybe you need some more time to rest and recuperate because you're now just rambling incoherently.
The Trump Administration has already given numerous accounts of the causes and circumstances behind Comey's firing that are mutually exclusive to one another, meaning he's already been caught in numerous lies on the topic. Despite this, you then went and cited another statement from the Trump administration as somehow disproving news reports.
So they lied to your face and the next statement they make you just assumed was true again. I'm glad to see you're already back to insulting people in the place that you've repeatedly whined about being too mean. As always, you never fail to shit your pants.
You seem to have an issue with linear time.
Step 1: the AG recommended firing Comey.
Step 2: on that recomendedation, Trump fired Comey.
Step 3: The White House said Trump fired Comey based on the recommendation of the AG. (BECAUSE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN OUR UNIVERSE)
No lie has occurred.
Alternate reality:
Step 1: the AG recommended against firing Comey.
Step 2: Trump fired Comey anyway.
Step 3: White House says Trump decided to fire Comey for his own reasons.

If you said you were going to fire someone regardless of whether event A occurred then you can't have fired them based on event A because you already admitted that you were going to fire them no matter if event A happened or not.
How is this even remotely difficult to understand?
You decided to trust it anyway, haha.
No, I said that you can't trust anything the Trump administration says because of its well documented series of lies about this issue.
