Trump's got to clean house. The CIA, Justice Department, EPA, Federal Reserve, FBI, IRS,INS, everybody. The brain drain has let the government go to the point of collapse and whether its by complete incompetence or deliberate treason they can't be trusted to work for us anymore. He needs to get on the Secret Service and get them back to shape, too. Obama's party atmosphere has them very lax.
The imbecile in chief will be gone in three weeks and sanity and intelligence will hopefully come back to D.C.

The article further opines that should Trump win the election ( considered a long shot then as this was dated 11-1-16), he would likely keep Comey in place as the FBI director, perhaps as a reward for helping out a fellow GOP member or some nonsense. Opinions, not facts. You DO know the difference, don't you?

To date there has been no mention by the Trump transition team, or spokepersons regarding Trump's pick for FBI director in his administration. IMO there is no reason to get one's panties in a wad over pure speculation by a biased source.
I said we will see.

Yep. They all have been shown to be willing to do the political thing as opposed to the right thing.

Are you so afraid that Trumpism might work that you will not give it a try? He campaigned on Make America Great Again - what's wrong with that if he can? What do you hold against the American people or even the Russian people? What is wrong with prosperity?

Your leader lost because she did not support the right people in the right place. She was aloof and her expensive fund raisers did not go over big with the American people. You cannot be pro-people, pro-worker and forget us.

Give Trump a chance. It will happen quick. You are not going to see him on vacation; you will see him roll up his shirt sleeves and get right down to business. Then you can come back and tell us how he negatively affected your life!

It's almost 2017 and almost time to user in our next new President - the clock is ticking. 20 more days. Happy New Year!

Questioning and searching for answers is a whole lot more productive than just blindly accepting talking points and attacking the other guy because he doesn't march in lockstep with one's own beliefs (or those he/she has been programmed to believe).

Something left wing liberals might keep in mind.

Sure, question everything except what Trump tells you, isn't that what you're saying?

You are repeating exactly what Donald Trump said which in itself is unpatriotic at the least, but should be treason coming from the President-Elect. Even if they made a mistake, no U.S. leader should denounce the men & women who die protecting our country. Do you think the military never makes a mistake? But no patriotic American would publicly criticize its country's own military for the entire world to hear.

Also, I'd like to see an official report from any U.S. Intelligence Agency about WMDs in Iraq. Bush and Cheney lied because they needed a reason to present to Congress and the American people for the Iraq invasion. What Bush and Cheney kept repeating about WMDs and the connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda was very different from what U.S. Intelligence concluded as a later investigation determined. "I think they were trying to make a stronger case for the war." Those are the words of Mike Morell, Bush's CIA briefer.

Also, do you also think the 9/11 attacks were a big surprise? George Tenet, former CIA Director, wrote that he regularly warned Bush, Cheney and Rice about an imminent attack on the U.S. by Al Qaeda that would be "spectacular." They chose to ignore it.

Maybe instead of reading right wing blogs and watching Fox News, you should use your public library.

You live in a fantasy world & have done nothing with your post but put words in my mouth. Absolute waste of my time even reading this tripe. You sound unhinged. BTW treason is letting millions of illegal aliens walk into the United States & do nothing about it like the current president. Accusing me of being unpatriotic & perhaps being treasonous shows you to be completely & utterly detached from reality. It's called "Trump derangement syndrome".
