Don’t think so . The 10 years is a term limit not a job guarantee. He can be replaced.

I doubt this occurs.

I trust the president with this matter.

I don't trust anyone who was part of the power structure before Trump was inaugurated. Some may be okay, but my gut feeling is that most are snakes, Republicans included.

Impeached for cause? Someone watching-the-watchers has a dossier on Comey.

Why do these crooked SOBs get ten year appointments to begin with? They shouldn’t get more than a two year contract and have some serious penalty clauses in there if they act in a partisan manner

Why would you wonder? The arrogant SOB might as well just come out and say it. He needs to be fired and brought up on criminal charges. I’m sure that would negate any pay he has coming on the BS contract

The position of FBI director exists as part of the executive branch therefore the President can replace the director at any time.

J Edgar Hoover served 48 years as head of the FBI. Congress established the 10 year term limit following Hoover’s tenure.

Comey serves at the will of the POTUS. He can be terminated... prior to close of business on any given day.

His comment was likely a poor attempt at humor.

We ARE NOT “stuck” with him for the next six and one half years.

His hubris might also be his downfall. Time will tell.

I want him gone yesterday.

Two mechanisms to fire comey... either will work. Impeachment by congress; firing by POTUS.

See page 18:

Indeed, President Bill Clinton exercised this removal power on July 19, 1993, by firing FBI Director William S. Sessions. In particular, upon receiving a recommendation from Attorney General Janet Reno that Sessions be removed, President Clinton informed Sessions: “I am hereby terminating your service as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, effective immediately.”

Also because he denied the truth and there was spying on Trump’s computer during an election.

"Ahh, nope. He has a six year term. He can be impeached, I guess. The whole reason for the six year term is so the President can’t fire him. There will never be 2/3 of the senate ready to convict him. So, pretty much he is here for a while.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. You should just read and leave the typing to the adults.

Sure, keep it up. You’re boss is giving you enough rope for you to hang yourself with it.

Thanks for the info. I remember what JEH was like. They shouldn’t, though get any longer contract than a house member gets from the voters in their district. Some serious head rolling needs to occur in the intelligence agencies. ALL of them

You’re very welcome. Maybe Comey found a white hat to don, since the election?
