Unfortunately, some Trumpsters will chalk this up to "draining the swamp" in a desperate attempt to maintain their god-emperor bubble. Can't remember where I saw it, but someone made the comment that a Trump supporter will let Trump shit in their mouth if a liberal standing next to them has to smell it.

Again, 50 former republican law agents warned of what Trump could potentially do. Trump has more clouds hanging over him than our atmosphere has clouds. The problem isn't even that you need to prove anything illegal, sure should not surprise anyone when and if we do. NO, just his mere behavior, his language, his impetuous actions, how the hell can anyone expect him to lead? Trump may be good for a Jerry Springer episode, but no, he has managed to turn the office and congress into an Oedipus play.

He didn't have even the decency to call Comey first. If you just a few month ago are praising him, but suddenly realize he wasn't what you thought, you still notify him, THEN you let the public know. 

And if this was a long time coming then even if you don't make it public, in private you make the attempt to ask them to step down. This simply throws more suspicion on Trump. 

I think it is way past time for The Justice Department, State Department and FBI to start offering immunity.

I heard about this. Comey was investigating Trump's Russia connections, and suddenly he gets fired. This would be great for the Dems, if they actually used it. But since they don't know how to fight, they'll likely pass this opportunity up.

I'm not sure being for Comey before they were against Comey before they were for Comey before they were against Comey really confers credibility on anyone . . .

The irony is palpable.

Quote:In his first extended comments on a move that has roiled Washington, Mr. Trump castigated Mr. Comey, calling him “a showboat” and “a grandstander” who had created turmoil at the bureau. But the president’s description of his decision-making process conflicted with the account provided previously by his aides.

The biggest attention whore in the Western World fired Comey for being a showboat?  Apparently, there is only room for one.

Comey didn't cause the division, Trump's five years of demagoguery, and year of scapegoating and picking public fights with intel even when 17 agencies agreed. Trump brought this on himself. 

Now he is trying to claim Comey was unfair to Hillary after spending a year calling her Crooked? No, i think this has everything to do with Russia, but even without a connection, even as a mere witness, when you fire the person doing the investigation that is called obstruction. 

If the idiot wanted to publicly disagree with intel during his run he should have put it like this, " Let the investigation take it's course, if I were to find errors with protocol I would work with intel to patch them"

Not a year of, "They don't know what the fuck they are talking about".... He didn't put it in those words, but his tone to intel was defiant and treated them like they didn't know what they were doing. And now he is having to deal with that mess. Even without a connection, that impetuous and bombastic talk proves Trump unfit. Now that he has done this, I don't see how the intel community can trust him.

and Schumer is giving hypocrisy a bad name

Well the feeling seems to be mutual.

Quote:FBI tells Trump to cancel visit because he’s ‘unlikely to be greeted warmly’ after Comey debacle

Then again, why would a criminal ever be warmly welcomed at the FBI unless he is in handcuffs?

I heard a new theory regarding why Comey was so summarily dismissed.  It sounds nutty at first, but it does fit with what we know about Trump's psychology.

Trump is 6'2" tall.  James Comey is 6'8" tall.  Tiny Penis Syndrome all over again.

That is probably part of it, but not because of his run or win. Daddy verbally abused him growing up if not also physically when he didn't preform. Daddy taught him to be a bully. His treatment of Comey is no different than what he did to the GOP field during the primaries, except worse because he couldn't even do it to his face or over the phone.
