I really don't care that Trump fired him, but I find it strange that he would say Comey told him he was cleared of the Russian probe. I'm a Trump voter but these statements he makes is crazy from his letter it sounds like he is firing Comey because Trump is trying to interfere in the Russian investigation it's possible something has been uncovered.

It's not about defending Comey. The name of the person in that office is irrelevant to the argument. It's about the President firing the very person that is investigating him and his campaign.

Don't know why that's so hard to understand.

This time Trump's lack of historical understanding of the office and of the country has bit him in the rear. The kind of move only a true narcissist would make.

Trump complained to his inner circle that Comey was "his own man". In other words he was running the FBI the way that America's most important law enforcement agency should be run. The FBI directors responsibility is to the law and the constitution not the president.

Let's not forget that Trump was praising Comey for his toughness in dealing with the Clinton investigation, Trump said he had "guts" and was a good man. Now Trump fires him for the way Comey treated Clinton, you can't make this stuff up. Also I should add that Comey had asked the justice dept for more resources to help with his investigation into the Trump election team's connections with the Russians.

Trump said that he fired Comey based on a memo sent to him from deputy AG Rosenstein that suggested Comey should be fired, Rosenstein has since denied this and has threatened to resign.

The one thing that most people in Washington seem to agree on is that the timing of this stinks to high heaven, and that Trump is trying to disrupt the investigation on his and his election team's connections with Russia. I don't think Trump will last a single term based on his behaviour as president, he obviously has serious personality issues.

Really?!! He's threatening Trump with his resignation?! It figures we elect a reality tv president and we get a reality tv drama to boot. Crazy ass ****!

Ummm..NO

It is not the PERSON investigating..its the office. The FBI does not consist of one man. Firing Comey does not end the witch hunt. We all know this, so the fact that you are trying to push some buthurt narrative just shows your partisanship.

You talk of Trump's lack of historical understanding..how many people did Obummer fire during his reign? How about Bill Clinton? Didnt he fire an FBI director while he was being investigated?

So you think the entire FBI is involved in a witch hunt? I'd say they are involved in the upholding of our constitution and rule of law.

Lying under oath (perjury), obstructing justice and witness tampering are crimes... it doesn't matter what it was about.
