As Soon As Election Is Over Obama Should Fire Comey.

Assuming that Hillary wins and it looks like she will despite Comey's attempt to sabotage the election with a phoney email message, he should be relieved of his position immediately. He is obvious a GOP operative with no sense of independence. He is also a threat to democracy and the objectivity of the FBI.

The whole damned email is just a manufactured and libelous attack. There is no criminality or intent what soever. Bush and Romney destroyed millions of emails and administrative data. Cheney and Powell used private servers and deleted information and emails. And I am sure GOPPERS all over the place have private servers up the butt.

Democrats do not challenge the media enough and allow it to almost get away with murder. We know that the media is actually right wing and a anti US in so many ways. It is because the media serves itself over the interest of the country.

Or they might leave him where he is, to seethe in bureaucratic impotence while his party continues to implode.

8. He will if she asks for the pleasure of firing him herself

which could also happen. Personally, I would prefer it if Obama axed him on his way out of office, it would seem less like revenge and give right wingers a little less to scream about during Clinton's term.

He should PROSECUTE the slimy bastard. Firing him just means he gets more money when FOX hires him. Send his ass to prison!

It would be fitting for the clown, Comey has turned into.

The cat's already out of the bag, what have they got to lose? Firing him now would be a good move, IMO.

No need to do anything to him until after the election.

14. Has Comey been asked to resign already, after the hearings?

I suspect he has refused to resign when asked to do so.
