No, its that most people assume a certain level of familiarity with the impeachment of Nixon. You are demonstrating you are not familiar with it. so heres what people are discussing:

If you analyze Comey's actions under Obama and Trump he clearly wants to wield undo influence over things. The left did not like it when it hurt their cause but are perfectly fine with it when it makes Trump look bad.
Trump derangement syndrome...

Yup. The guy that excused himself from the Russian investigation recommended that the guy investigating it be fired.

Actually, trump asked for immediate resignations for lots of people, straight off. With comey's aberrent behavior, it wouldn't have been such a big deal at the get-go. Heck, I felt like obama should have fired him the minute he opened his mouth with all those details about clinton's emails because the FBI just doesn't do that sort of thing.

And, how about some backup for your allegation that the investigation is "fake"?

Seriously, Comey lost both the trust of Trump AND the public. He didn't charge Hillary and he lied about the (lack of) extent in Weinergate.

Or, I guess Comey could be super competent and on track to capture Russian spy, operative, plant Trump who is intent on turning our country into a Communist satellite of Russia.
Who knows why Comey takes one side or another? Maybe he likes the feeling of power over people.

He's caused damage to both sides--guess he enjoys that for some reason.

But Trump sure liked him when he interfered with the election even though it's illegal for an FBI director to interfere with an election. The Hatch Act had to be invoked to make him stop. Trump had to fire him when he was going to reveal Trump's Russian connections. Great timing--not obvious or anything.

Nothing fishy at all about Sessions who recused himself from the Russian probe recommending Comey's firing. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

The guy was a CLOWN who got himself fired. I find it amazing the screams and screeching from one side after the Hillary mess DEMANDING his termination and now when it happens the opposite is being voiced by those same people?

Talk about looney...
Who's voicing the opposite? I don't care that he was fired but anyone who isn't an idiot knows why he was fired now. It's as obvious as the giant nose on your face.

Kill two birds with one stone - stall the investigation into Russian collusion and resurrect the prosecution of Hillary.

It's coming.
The Clintons will never be prosecuted, you can take that to the bank.

Yes I know, the Russian conspircy theory against Trump is straight out of some banana Republic.


I can't understand all the whining from the dems here, they wanted Trump to fire Comey months ago.

You dems got what you wanted, Comey got fired, so why are you whining?

Trump's letter firing FBI Director James Comey - CNNPolitics.com
I read that as either someone in the DOJ or FBI improperly conveyed the status of the investigation to the White House or Trump is making stuff up again. Not good in either case.
