Completely agree.

He's clearly on the run and panicking. The Morning Joe hosts, who know him well, say he's not well mentally and that it's getting worse and worse.

Trump doesn't even realize that all this is doing is helping Democrats take back Congress in 2018.

Yes you do fire the head of the FBI if he is incompetent and possibly corrupt. This is not unprecedented -- look up the name "William Sessions."

How about Trump wasn't afraid to fire Comey because no one has anything on Trump. But you all keep dreaming...like you did on November 7th.

hahahahahahahhaa

What a mature response, Trump isn't afraid to fire the head of an FBI investigation that may implicate him or his administration, great headline. Great for the country.

We don't love Comey. Comey did this to himself. And Trump is sealing his own fate.

We love that 2 birds are being killed with 1 stone. This is like Christmas!

When did this admin start caring about Clinton being treated badly?

LOL.

Exactly. They didn't and they do not.

That is not why Comey got fired. Am I a fan of his? Nope.

But, this is absolutely something done to keep the Trump admin's ass out of the fire.

I don't know why the left is crying about this. It's not like they had any faith in Comey:

Are you disagreeing with Schumer? Or is this simply because it was something that Trump did, therefore it is default, "OMG!!!!!!!" worthy to the left?

Not to mention, isn't this the kind of overreach of power the Right would go crazy over if Obama did it? But they defend dear leader, that's for sure.
