FBI director James Comey fired

Revealed: Senior advisor at FBI-raided consulting firm also works for Paul Manafort and Roger Stone

They are closing in on the WLB.  People will be looking to cut deals to testify against the fuck.  He's not the kind that inspires loyalty.... except in the terminally stupid.

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

Totally agree, though the SD won't have any say in it.

Since Trumptards are not flocking to defend this I'll play the part for a moment

He's the president he can do whatever he wants and you must submit and obey the crow/ I mean office  (unless the president is Obama )


You liberals are just angry about the election blah blah blah blah blah .......


Then Scooby will step in with the illuminati reptilian moon men are the liberal overlords true masters ........

  
Then Alpha will chime but Colbert said something homophobic that was not he's a poo poo head


As  for Neo  actually no wait no one cares


I think that sums it up really

They are pretty easy to mock, eh?

Oddly meta, Orochi.

Back on topic. I wondered if Comey thought he could play both sides, appearing as the independent amidst all the nasty shit swirling about the Whitehouse. If so, he lost badly. First rule of blackmail is that your victim has to possess a sense of shame and respect for the rules. Nowhere in the Trump camp should have left him with that impression.

His ultimate nothingburger of an announcement in the election was a clear indicator of making bad decisions. I was not surprised by his firing.

I reckon before the election Comey, as with most other senior republitraitors thought that Trump was simply following the party's southern strategy to solidify the base for November, and would toe the line once appointed. However he quickly realised how wrong this notion was, probably through a combination of seeing Trump up close (it is clear that Trump reverse ferreted on China solely due to the bribe of his name being trademarked) and the actual Russia evidence, and decided that he needed to do his job. Hence the quick turnaround from cheerleader to adversary.

I noticed something else Trump said in his NBC about the election, he called it one that Hillary Clinton "should've won". Now this could simply be an admission by Trump that he was long odds going in, but given his narcissism and his constant crowing about him supposedly trouncing her, I'd say it's far more likely that this was an admission (likely unintentional) that he won by means most foul (combination of Russian hacks and vote stealing in the rust belt and Florida).

No, I think most of why she lost WAS Trump's own Jerry Springer act, the gerrymandering has been going on forever, but I do think Trump's behavior for the past five years, even without a direct connection, Russia was no matter what, simply piling on the division he was creating.

I think the most disturbing thing to come out of this may be that Trump requested a personal "loyalty pledge" from Comey.

Look what the moron posted on Twitter this morning, and this makes it even worse.

James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"

This is what you say after Comey says you have the right to fire him? How can you perceive that as a threat unless there is smoke you are trying to cover?

I really don't see how he recovers from this. Again, just the talk alone is simply too much. It really makes you look like you really do have something to hide.

I simply don't get it. 

What kind of tactic is that to threaten a guy who agreed you had the right to fire them? 

Forget legality and party, that has to be the most bat shit insane thing to say  AFTER you do what you want. Trump is the most politically STUPID president I have ever seen. 

I cant figure out if it is that they are really getting close, or that he is simply saying stupid shit to look for a reason to step down because he really doesn't want the job and only ran to prove he could get it.

What a fucking dumbass.
