President Donald Trump weighed firing his FBI director for more than a week. When he finally pulled the trigger Tuesday afternoon, he didn't call James Comey. He sent his longtime private security guard to deliver the termination letter in a manila folder to FBI headquarters.
He had grown enraged by the Russia investigation, two advisers said, frustrated by his inability to control the mushrooming narrative around Russia. He repeatedly asked aides why the Russia investigation wouldnt disappear and demanded they speak out for him. He would sometimes scream at television clips about the probe, one adviser said.

(12,448 posts)He thinks he can control the FBI by firing its director. The FBI doesn't work that way; neither, BTW, does the DOJ, whose career employees don't necessarily share the Secretary's outlook and beliefs.

They will be willing to pull the country down to save their own skins.

(128,746 posts)He had every GOP Senator at the Yates/Clapper Hearings "speak(ing) out for him" by completely going off topic with bullshit about "leaks", "immigration E.O. legalities", and "Hillary's emails". He had Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Sanders dismissively waving away the entire affair and instead focusing on how many Senators had confirmed Deputy AG Rosenstein and demanding that everyone "move on" to something else.
His entire party has thrown itself into the water like ants forming a bridge to protect him from drowning in his own malfeasance - their sacrifice to have his back.
