Warren on Comey firing: We need a special prosecutor who Trump 'can't fire'
The Hill ^ | May 9, 2017 | Brooke Seipel

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) hit President Trump for his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday, calling on Congress to "get their heads out of the sand" and use a special prosecutor to investigate Trump.

Trump made the bombshell announcement on Tuesday afternoon, saying it was based on the recommendation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, according to White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

Trump argued in a letter to Comey that the FBI needs a new leader so it can restore "pubic trust and confidence."

Warren responded to the news, saying, "we need a real, independent prosecutor who [Trump] can't fire, Sessions can't intimidate and Congress can't muzzle."

(TWEETS-AT-LINK)

Clinton used a private email server as secretary of State and was investigated over her handling of classified information by the FBI under Comey, who announced last July that he would not recommend any charges be brought against the then-Democratic presidential nominee.

The FBI is now investigating possible ties between Trump's campaign and Russia, which the intelligence community concluded had meddled in the presidential election to help Trump win.

FAKE NEWS.

There is no such conclusion. There is a DESIRE on the part of the whining losers. If such a conclusion had been reached, EVERYONE would know.

the extent of the Indian genocide wrought by
her great grandpa.

The Talking Points are declared, and the Dems will obey their orders, (but...)

Warren is so stupid/delusional that she actually said, “we need a real, independent prosecutor who [Trump] can’t fire, Sessions can’t intimidate and Congress can’t muzzle.”

If that should happen, Dumbass Liz would certainly be indicted! HA!

The Left wanted Comey fired AND they wanted to choose his replacement. Say Hitlery Clinton, since she needs a job.

If the left is baying at the moon, freaking out over Trump making a huge mistake then we all know he’s doing the right thing.

Does Crockajawea ever leave the warpath?

Is it wrong to wonder that the day she left for Congress to fight for the little guy (snort, guffaw) was the best day in her husband’s life?

The one common point between FR and the DUmp has been mutual hatred of Comey. But they hate Trump more and we hate Pocohontas more, so now who will be the common enemy?

“Trump argued in a letter to Comey that...”

ARGUED? No, he didn’t “argue.” He stated. Why would The Hill say he ‘argued?’
