Clapper: Comey firing 'another victory' for Russia
By Louis Nelson 05/14/17 12:11 PM EDT

President Donald Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey is “another victory on the scoreboard” for a Russian government that has put the institutions of the U.S. government “under assault,” former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Sunday.

Trump’s dismissal of Comey amid the bureau’s investigation into Russian interference into last year’s presidential election and the possibility of collusion between Trump associates and the Kremlin raised alarm in Washington and beyond, but Clapper said the move would be celebrated in Moscow.

"Their first objective was to sow doubt, discord and dissension in this country. And the Russians have to be celebrating with a minimal expenditure of resources in what they have accomplished,” he told ABC’s “This Week,” one of two Sunday morning political talk shows on which he appeared.

1. Clapper has had enough of Dump

Yates and Comey firings have sealed Dump's fate I believe.

2. If anyone was under the delusion that Trump wasn't a puppet of Putin

The firing of Comey made that all to clear. And the silent approval of his damned party shows where their loyalty lies as well.
