None of that matters. The FBI director is appointed by the POTUS which means he can also be fired for any reason or no reason. That's just the way it works and always will.
A good president does not do things simply becasue he can.
If all men are created equal - why then do those inside the DC beltway get to live by their own rules? don't you want to know the truth ? or can't liberals handle it.
I couldn't answer that as it is a leading question.
Suffice it to say that is a false dichotomy. Being loyal to the constitution is automatically being loyal to the president. It can not be otherwise.
All pledge to support and defendthe constitution, and whomever does not do that is out of step with their responsibility. There can be no conflict if everyone is loyal to the constitution and carries out their own duties with that in mind.
NO-NO-NO-NO absolutely not true--I could be in the right and EL boss be in the wrong- side f the constitution- I follow my oath first -- MY boss could be mentally ill- plumb crazy or a traitor--
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

I don't have to vote, I said it in my post, or did you miss that part?
There were much more important things for Trump to worry about, like I don't know, like getting his cabinet members in place, and worrying about policy. Comey got what he had coming, everybody wanted Comey gone, but the dems who wanted Comey out most of all, are now whining. Oh well, par for the course from the deranged Trump haters.
Or answering a months old tweet from Rosie O'Donnell.
I don't understand where you are coming from this with Comey. Comey lost the respect of his co-workers and many, many American citizens with his debacle with Clinton's mess. It was almost like he had lost any sense of the law.
Comey was a "leftover" and it was time for him to go. I am sure that Trumpm was being told that. Comey should have been loyal to the Constitution and not the Clintons, maybe that is the real question.
Trump will do fine for those that aren't intent on spewing sour grapes. Isn't that what the poll and post is all about in the first place?
FBI directors serve 10 year terms. Every president gets a "leftover". Only one saw cause to fire the one they got leftover. And Clinton does not count since William Sessions he was actually stealing money from the government.
A good president does not do things simply becasue he can.
You know what really jumps out at me is when Trump's Communication voiceobox keeps repeating and misleading that "Even Legal Pundits" said he didn't do anything improper! That a bunch of malarkey! They actually have been saying across the board " While it isn't illegal".. There is the optic's of trying to compromise the Investigation into his team and Russian connections appears like a coverup/intimidation! It is non-proforma and unseemly and surely his Legal rep. would have pointed that out too!
But nope.. Trump attempting to get some loyalty oath from the FBI Director, like he did when hiring a Trump Employee speaks volumes to his level of understanding the difference between Private Business functions and the Leader of the Free World and what's expected! As for Trump trying to suggest that Comey was soliciting to keep his job.. Bu$$ Hockey!! He was appointed as you said for a 10 year term.. and had no need to solicit the POTUS for his job!! Sure Trump has legal right to fire.. BUT best he have a damn good reason to do so.
As for Trumpette's continuous suggestion the Libs were screaming for Comey's head, to fire or resign. Guess what!! Obama did NOT fire him. Then of course, FBI is in upheaval and dtysfunctioning because of Comey is yet another BIG fat lie spun by the Alternative Info folks!! If anything, what Trump did was fired the FBI agents to such a level.. Trump is front and centre on the menu right now along with his corrupt buddies that were in his Campaign, Transition Team!!
Okay.. I feel better now.. Boy, I just had to let it out!! Trump is the unhinged one and "Doth Protest Too MUCH!!

I guess I should have added a third opinion to the poll, "I choose not to answer this question."
