Why would President Trump post this as a tweet instead of discussing it directly with Comey or firing him in favor of someone who will do the job?

If you were a supporter of his from the beginning, you should get it. He's always preparing the media ground for the battle, or responding to public attacks, or resistance to his policies. It is because he recognizes the importance in his efforts of having public support. I suspect the first spade has been turned in a bruising battle with the alphabets.

McCain is one of the leakers. Go after him.

And as for this 3 dem impeachment THEY ARE NUTS, Ryan and McConnell aren’t giving up their chairs for them. Nor can a judge do it, nor petitions. They face a Trump loving public backlash. They think we won’t get violent, they think wrong. We put up with their muslim for 8 long years. Now we have a REAL President since Reagan we won’t let go easy.

I would expect the CiC to command in this situation.

I rather think he is.

It's a different style - AND we don't know what's also going on behind the scenes, but his engagement of the public is brilliant.

Good analysis. Thanks.

I have been a strong supporter of his since early in the summer of 2015.

I lived in New York in the 1970s and 1980s and have admired him since then.

I think it is unusual for a boss to write a public complaint about someone below him in the chain of command. This is the first time I believe President Trump has written a tweet like this.

I suspect that he already has, and that the wheels are already turning. This is aimed at drawing attention to the problem so that people will see it resolved. And the media will whine as their spigot of information

WINNER!

There was a report that his daughter and son in law changed the wording in some EO. Did the WH leak that or did someone else leak that?

I’ve noticed something. If an article has two or more authors it is undoubtedly going to be fake news, or news from an unlisted source.

I assume that it has previously been discussed directly. That’s what surprises me about his public criticism of the FBI. He could fire Comey in a heartbeat if he wanted to do that. Can he put more pressure on him by criticizing his agency in a public tweet than he could by calling him into the Oval Office and reaming him out? I would think a face-to-face meeting would have more impact. And if he has had that meeting (as I assume he has), then why tweet about the problem?

Just keep punking them with fake info.

Slowly erode whatever credibility these cockroaches still have

Eventually they will be caught

You may be right.

This acts as a "pep talk" to the soldiers - the American people. That is, in fact, an element of leadership.

It also very commonly has no relationship to the command actions taken outside the limelight.

Good analysis. Trump may also be laying the groundwork to retire Comey. If anyone should question that decision, Trump can point to this tweet.

Once again Trump is correct

Over the years I experienced the lax attitude that crept in with younger workers with clearances. People don’t seem to take their sworn oath very seriously

No it is a shot across the bow of the leakers. Sessions just got there

Comey is the one who should be worried

He’s right, surely the FBI can solve this crime(s) of government leaks.

I wondered why he kept/keeps Mr. Comey then?....

President Trump is not done giving Comey rope.

One excellent reason for Trump to lay it out in public is to head the MSM off at the pass. If he fires Comey in a heartbeat, out of the blue, so-called journalists will lose their minds via uncontrolled hysteria. If Trump fires Comey after a reasonable interval, following this tweet, the Leftist reporters will be confronted with the astutely laid groundwork, every time they launch into hysterical screeching.
