this is just the case of the media creating hysteria again
I don't have to read it, I trust our great President to do the right thing although I questioned why it took so long to reach this obvious conclusion.

I'm still bewildered by why Trump didn't call Comey to the oval office and offer him the option to resign before firing him.

When firing someone over not following proper protocol...

If that doesn't work he simply declares martial law while he "gets things back on track after a horrible, reckless, impeachable offense from Comey threatened to ruin the Nation."


This guy is one sneaky bastard and not to be trusted for one second. Guaranteed he declares another "win" from this deplorable act.


Who loses? Anyone not named Trump.
Yeah, amazing...a CROOK gets to run the show. He has somehow gotten away with murder for 60-some years.. he has to be caught, sometime.

Want to know why Comey was fired, read this. trump wants to shut down the judiciary. In reality, I think it is the judiciary that will save this country from trump.
CNN exclusive: Grand jury subpoenas issued in FBI's Russia investigation - CNNPolitics.com
Quote:
Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas to associates of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn seeking business records, as part of the ongoing probe of Russian meddling in last year's election, according to people familiar with the matter. CNN learned of the subpoenas hours before President Donald Trump fired FBI director James Comey.

The subpoenas represent the first sign of a significant escalation of activity in the FBI's broader investigation begun last July into possible ties between Trump campaign associates and Russia.
The subpoenas issued in recent weeks by the US Attorney's Office in Alexandria, Virginia, were received by associates who worked with Flynn on contracts after he was forced out as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, according to the people familiar with the investigation.

The fact is that Comey had no faith from either party. Hillary has repeatedly said that Comey (along with sexism and Russia) cost her the election. Other democrats have repeated such claims.

Comey should have been fired.

The only issue is that Trump needs to pick an FBI director that Democrats feel comfortable with - as the Democrats are still working on the conspiracy theory that there was collusion between Trump and Russia. Of course Democrat conspiracy theorists ignore Clapper saying that he has seen zero evidence of this and that Russia had every reason to oppose Hillary regardless of who her opponent was as Hillary was most likely to continue the Obama-Bush doctrine of creating power vacuums in Middle East and then repeatedly arming moderate rebels (read terrorists like ISIS). Russia must protect its warm water port in Syria and they can't do that with Hillary insisting Assad must go and that ISIS (err moderate rebels) must be armed.

Why is it, when Comey was going after Hillary, he was so hated by the left? But now that he is fired, the left love him? It's like Fidel Castro all over again. Left claim they despise communism, but they embrace and idolize Castro. They claim to love immigrants, whether they are documented or not, unless they are Cubans fleeing a communist country.

Never heard of "trust but verify", eh? I suspect that a lot of people will find themselves deeply, bigly disappointed due to their unseeing, blind faith in trump.

Default Invalid Poll Question

Comey himself has said over and over again that "Trump is not under investigation." And, after eight months (has it been?) there has still been ZERO evidence of any so-called "Russian connection" or collusion. That's a fact, Jack. Comey was not, nor was anyone else "closing in" on Trump.

This entire investigation was started by Obama, with no evidence whatsoever, an effort initiated (most likely) to help Hillary, who made the accusation that Trump had "Russian connections."

But who really had "Russian connections?" Can you all remember, "Tell Vladimir, I'll have more flexibility after the election." — Barack H. Obama

And how about Hillary and the "Russian reset?" Or, Hillary selling 20% of U.S. Uranium to Russia?

Zero evidence of any Trump connections to Russia. None found yet, as long as this investigation has been going on. It is a Democrat circus act. It's been laughable to watch, if you've listened to any of the testimony, if it wasn't so nauseating.

So, the Poll Question above is invalid, because Trump isn't under investigation.

Comey investigates Flynn and gets fired by Trump.

2 + 2 = 4
Obama and Clinton were warned repeatedly about Benghazi/

Yet, without any assistance whatsoever, they allowed a US Ambassador and 4 soldiers to die. Clinton told a bald face lie and said it was over a youtube video. And Obama? Yeah..not important enough to cancel a DNC fundraiser in Vegas.

So, yeah..forget that, and focus on some bogus Russian collusion nonsense...

Seriously? It looks like trump was 1. trying to avoid any facts coming out about his campaign, 2. according to trump anyone who even appears to be unbiased and fact-seeking is against him automatically (wonder why that is?), and 3. major, major, I mean really bigly major, jealousy on trump's part. Just sayin'...

How does this sound:

"there was growing frustration among President Donald Trump’s associates that the former FBI director would not tamp down questions about the president’s alleged connection to Russia.
He refused to “say those three little words: ‘There’s no ties,'”

“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation"

“Oh, and there’s James — he’s become more famous that me,” Trump said to Comey during a January reception for law enforcement."
