Trump "fired" the Director of the FBI! How much shit will the USA allow?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

Like ALL FBI Directors, Comey had a ten year appointment. Trump fired him for requesting more money for an investigation of the Demander In Thief's (AKA Donald Trump) contacts with enemies of the United States of America.

How the Hell, does ANYONE get away with firing the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, because he is investigating them?


Take a look at this crap:

Trump threatens ex-FBI head Comey with possible 'tapes' of conversations

President’s tweet suggests he had been secretly taping White House meetings, after the New York Times reported that he demanded ‘loyalty’ from Comey

Sean Spicer refuses to deny that Trump is taping White House visitors
Donald Trump threatened former FBI director James Comey on Twitter on Friday morning.
James Comey's firing puts Trump's vexed relationship with the media in focus

Trump tweeted: “James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”

The tweet, which if taken at face value would suggest Trump has been secretly taping White House meetings, came after the New York Times reported that he demanded “loyalty” from Comey in a private dinner held shortly after Trump took office.

At the White House press briefing on Friday afternoon, press secretary Sean Spicer repeatedly refused to deny that Trump was taping visitors to the White House.

1. Here is the kicker! Comey was prominent in the Bush (aka "W") administration...

My earlier criticism of Comey was that he was too right-wing: However, he still subscribes to rules of law.

2. I m betting that Trump is lying about any secret tapes

This is part of his con game. Lie, Lie, Lie so nobody knows when you may be telling the truth.
Confusion is all that matters according to that Russian asshole behind half of this shit. When a nation is confused, it becomes more vulnerable.
Just accept everything Trump says as a lie.

3. Oh, please . . .

Like all FBI directors, Comey served "at the pleasure of the President." Any president has the right to fire an FBI director at any time, and for any reason. In fact, if I recall correctly, there were many, many people here who thought President Obama should have canned Comey last summer for shooting off his big mouth about HRC's "carelessness," and then again in October, when he announced he was re-opening the investigation.

The problem with Hair Fuehrer firing Comey wasn't that he canned him, it was the reason behind it. If it really was to quash an investigation, as it appears to be, that is obstruction of justice, and clearly an impeachable offense.
