11 days before the election??? Obama must fire this fuck Comey on

[KingCharlemagne]

Nov. 9, no matter who wins the GE.

This is total fucking bullshit. Comey must go if respect for the rule of law is to be maintained.

[JoePhilly]

1. yup

[Cooley Hurd]

2. Maybe on a Saturday Night?

8. Not an appropriate analogy, as the FBI Director serves at the pleasure of POTUS, unlike

a Special Prosecutor. After Nov. 8, no one can accuse President Obama of obstructing justice with the decision to fire Comey.

[Cooley Hurd]

11. No, it's very appropriate.

Comey's already said that there's no chance this new thing can be resolved before 11/8. Firing him "after" Nov. 8 would be a serious blotch on President Obama's legacy.

[KingCharlemagne]

12. The reason it was a "Saturday Night Massacre" is that Tricky Dick had to find

someone at DoJ to fire Cox. Richardson and Ruckleshaus refused. And it fell to Robert Bork to do the deed.

Obama can simply fire Comey. The investigation will continue but without the serpent at its head.

[Cooley Hurd]

13. What a great way to end his admin...

Comey's firing would look like a political move and would stain President Obama's legacy.

I don't want to see this, and neither should you.

Besides... why freak out over the unknown (which is where we're at with this "new" email thing)?

[KingCharlemagne]

17. Comey has just politicized the administration of justice. Some things are more

important than a president's legacy. Historians would look very kindly on Obama's showing Comey the door.

3. The fucker is a damn republican/alt-right mole

it seems.

[sunonmars]

4. Fire him today for partisanship in an election.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Nope. That would be a Nixon move.

Hillary will replace him next year; no need for Obama to damage his legacy by committing an act of political revenge.

[Cooley Hurd]

7. Yep. Just as I said upthread...

GTMA

[Jason1961]

6. Agreed

He knew this would be hard for us and did it anyway. He could have easily waited until after the Election to announce this.

Unless they find something worthwhile that needed to be addressed immediately he needs to be fired immediately for using his position to influence this election.

9. Democrats in Congress praised Comey talking

About his career and how honorable he is. He proved he was a hack when he gave a statement about her being careless.

[workinclasszero]

10. This is a political hit job on Hillary and the democratic party

No doubt about that, check the timing for FFS!

Don't even tell me that Comey didn't coldly calculate the effects when he pulled this BS!

I have to agree though that the President should do nothing to the snake in the grass Comey. That would just do more harm then good.

President H. Clinton needs to replace that f***in backstabber Comey ASAP after getting sworn in! FU Comey!!!!!

[KingCharlemagne]

14. Comey has just politicized the administration of justice. He should be shit-canned

today, in my opinion. But to avoid even the appearance of obstruction of justice, President Obama should wait until November 9 to fire his fascistic ass.

[workinclasszero]

16. I hope this political hit job

will stop any more democratic pols from thinking its good to put a damn republican in their administration.

I mean you are asking for republican dirty garbage like this if you do.

[Sancho]

19. Comey has just earned a promotion to the new FBI office in Antartica
