Hillary Clinton was 'ecstatic' when Trump fired Comey, new book says
Fox News ^ | May 29, 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has opposed virtually everything President Trump has done since he took office, but she apparently cheered at his firing of FBI Director James Comey according to a new book.

In the volume, "We’ve Got People: From Jesse Jackson to AOC, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement," author Ryan Grim, the Washington bureau chief of The Intercept, interviewed people in Clinton's inner circle, including former spokesman Brian Fallon.

Grim said Clinton was "ecstatic" when news of the Comey move broke.

“She had spent the winter and spring poring over survey and turnout data, calling friends and former aides relentlessly, analyzing and re-analyzing,” Grim writes. “It was, her friends believed, both part of her grieving process, but also holding her back from moving on. When she learned that Comey had been fired by Trump, she was ecstatic. Comey had finally gotten what he had coming.”

Interesting...but sounds like gossip.

We're pretty sure Comey was working FOR Clinton...and still is.

Not buying it for a second. This is part of her alibi that they weren’t in cahoots all along.

At least she accepted defeat well :)

Obsessing over loss. JUST what you want in a president.

That’s what they said about her after Benghazi.

They wouldn’t lie, would they?

I've lost track.

Is Comey a hero or a villain to Democrats?

A book that had the title of “the end of big money” and interviews Clinton, is 100% on the level.

I still believe it was Divine Providence that moved Trump to run and win.

Divine Providence pretty much calls the shots on all things, good and bad.

Even the devil only gets to do what God allows him to.

But yeah, millions of praying voices in the U.S. were heard, it seems.

There still ARE many good, God fearing people in this country.

Funny for me to say God Fearing, because I have never used that term.

But I do. If there’s someone to fear the best choice would be God!! And love and revere.

I suspect that Comey was prepared to blackmail whoever became President into reappointing him, as he was originally expecting Hillary to win.

Who wrote that?!?

Man has this board had an impact on me.

Nephews and nieces had bets going on if I’d see 50. The consensus was NO due to insanity.

Here I am, 51.

Cut down drinking by about 90 percent. No more gambling. Losing a good amount of weight with more to go though.

No more taking insane chances. No more death wishes.

And letting God into my life.

You can not spend as much time on this board as I have the past few years without it changing you if your heart is open to it.

And Jim goes about his life never knowing the impact he has had on people.

It’s amazing, though more and more common to me now that I see it, that the people we touch the most are people we may never know that we did.

Crazy.

Bingo! They are setting the stage as you noted:

Neither. He is expendable to them.

Good for you dp......I love stories about how lives have changed through lifestyle changes and most importantly letting God take over.......what’s a saying I’ve only heard recently?........Let Go and Let God......I think that’s it. Anyhoo, I wish you nothing but the best in your life and by the looks of it, you’re well on your way.......;)

She thought she had gotten a twofer. Comey gone and DJT a target for obstruction (when the insurance plan went into effect).
