President Trump Fires James Comey

Im not done reading this report from the inspector generals office however it contradicts several things you said so far.

That's not very specific. Does it say that Clinton should be locked up?

CONCLUSION
Longstanding, systemic weaknesses related to electronic records and communications have existed within the Office of the Secretary that go well beyond the tenure of any one Secretary of State. OIG recognizes that technology and Department policy have evolved considerably since Secretary Albright’s tenure began in 1997. Nevertheless, the Department generally and the Office of the Secretary in particular have been slow to recognize and to manage effectively the legal requirements and cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications, particularly as those risks pertain to its most senior leadership. OIG expects that its recommendations will move the Department steps closer to meaningfully addressing these risks.

Phage is playing obtuse right now because there's not much else you can do when you're just wrong.

I mean, afterall, bill clinton had to pardon his CIA director (Deutch) for having a laptop at his home with classified information on it, a few days after he left his post.

You have not demonstrated that I am wrong.

Comey was a clinton lap dog. Her strategy involved being the underdog, comey made that happen. Too bad she was easily seen as a lying bitch...her underdog got too deep. Strategy worked well for bill, but hillery flamed out at senator; just couldn't hike that presidential hill: 0 vs obama and 0 vs trump. She lacked the charisma bill had in abundance. Underdogs have to be liked/loved, she was neither likable nor lovable.

My view is that Comey is a good guy (but a terrible director). He knew Lynch wasn't going to do a damn thing about Hilary and she had that meeting with billy boy. So he tried to keep confidence in the DoJ by taking one for the team and not recommending prosecution while laying out that she (at very least) warranted an indictment.

the appearance of incompetence is better than corruption, 100% of the time.

Then when the election neared and hillary looked like she was possibly vulnerable, he reopened the investigation in hopes of denying a corrupt criminal into the whitehouse (plus it was likely he'd be fired regardless of who won, but he had a slight chance of keeping his job with Trump).

Comey played judge and jury. That's a very bad thing for the director of the FBI to do, but a reasonable thing for a person to do and for a good cause in his view.

Sure I have. You just don't accept the reasonable person standard, but the law does.

Everyone is innocent until proven in court of law.

I seem to remember a press conference that Comey gave where he stated that Clinton violated the law.

Now we have his supporters (formerly detractors) saying that we can't believe what he said?

So why does Trump mention himself in the letter that states he is fired? Seems strange, other than ego.

The morning after the firing, i have to say this is the best trolling of Democrats by Trump yet.

He has forced them all out to cry about Comey being fired, just after months of they themselves calling for him to be fired.

Great to watch.

This also makes the likelihood of any evidence of Russian collision even lower - and it was very low anyway. If Comey had something, Trump would not be firing him in such a humiliating way for Comey.

I think that he is trolling the Democrats... and the never Trumpers.

From Vince Foster to Monica Lewinsky to Comey, the clintons seem to ruin lives everywhere they go.

Comey was stuck in the middle between Republicans who wanted Hillary prosecuted for the private server and the mishandling of classified information, and the democrats who refused to tolerate even a word of criticism of her.

this is Hillary Clinton's fault. She is the villain here.

The way you're grasping at straws here is just hilarious if not laughable. Just sayin'.

New liberal phrase-of-the-week; "BUT THE TIMING!!"

At this point the left would make an uproar if Trump fired Hitler or even Satan himself too.

It is not just one political side that is questioning the timing. Bye Trump.

She signed a document saying she knew the rules.

This is the problem with many commenting on the Clinton e-mail issue. They've never worked for the government, never held a security clearance, and have no clue of the training, documents signed, and annual recurring remedial training on the rules that takes place...let alone the documents you have to sign when employment ends. Those of us who lived this know better and know why she should be prosecuted...

Comey goes to work for Wikileaks, while Julian Assange becomes CIA new Director! #Ahahahahahah
