I think this is just a trial balloon.

Obama/Jarrett keenly want to fire Comey, but are floating the idea to see how the Commentariat reacts.

It's their m.o., finger-to-the-wind first (then finger to the nation).

I am a Trump guy but I doubt that he can and will drain the swamp unless he wants to end up like JFK (who did not even try to change Wash.DC) My greatest hope is that he keeps his promise of keeping out the muzzie refugees.

Comey has a ten-year appointment. Can’t be fired until 2023.

There are so many things he needs to do to fix what ails us. I want him to ban the terrorists and imprison the murderous ones and deport the non killers if they exist.

I also want him to fix the Supreme Court as he promised. Give us at least two or three that can claim credibly to have read the Constitution at least once.

Finally, he can start to repair the military.

These are tall orders.

Pollsters tell us there is a Brexit Effect. I pray that is so.

Well, for once Obama will be doing something I agree with, albeit NOT for the same reasons that I would have.

If Trump wins, Ovomit fires him.

If the witch wins, Ovomit praises him.

Just watch.

There would be a time in which gross incompetence and corruption from a public official would see them before a firing squad.

At the very least Comey desevres jail

We still don’t know for sure that there was dissension within FBI ranks except from what Rudy Giuliani claims. If it were true, we shall hear from one of the agents of what really transpired inside the FBI.


This is an easy one to guess. Most folks in law enforcement recognize that Comey’s bizarre statement met all the elements of numerous crimes (the standard for recommending prosecution), but it concluded (without authority and outside of normal practice) that charges were not warranted. He made the case from a legal standard and reinforced it with his congressional testimony, but he (without authority and outside of the normal role of an investigator) concluded that charges were not warranted. He also ignored several other statutes that were clearly violated.

I am certain many of them were just as perplexed and frustrated as we were.

It was not Comey’s job and he NEVER should have given a statement beyond “the investigation is concluded and we are forwarding it to main Justice for their review and action.”

On top of that, this was not a thorough and vigorous investigation as he described. Without subpoena’s and search warrants and the ability to compel testimony through a Grand Jury it was nothing more than what she called it... a review. I would argue that the FBI had their hands tied behind their back from day one and she knew it. They had no tools. The fact that ANY government employee who forwarded classified emails to her, Huma, Mills, or anyone else still have their government jobs is a complete mystery and shreds the rule of law. There should have been multiple firings and revocations of security clearances within the State Department over this.

If your supervisor gives you an order you know is illegal (like send classified mail to my private email address) you don’t do it. You are breaking the law. There is, by Comey’s own admission, evidence that this took place.

For the love of God they did not even charge the private contractor who (had access in violation of the law) deleted her server AFTER he was told he was to preserve the data!

My rant would continue..... who gave the immunity agreements and on the order of who?

Comey is simply the fall guy for a mess that Clinton created. He should have done the right thing, but he succumbed to pressure and now everybody is mad at him.... everybody - FBI, GOP, DNC, media, etc etc. He is simply another in a long line of Clinton casualties because as we have seen over and over that they don’t believe laws apply to them. Guess what America..... they are right.

The president was furious with Comey for reopening the FBI's investigation of Hillary's emails But he was reluctant to move against Comey for fear that it would open him to charges of obstruction of justice.
He found a good way to appease his puppet master Mr. Valerie Jarrett.

Why not add one more charge of obstruction of justice/Treason to the long list of crimes and illegal Presidential Directives/Executive Orders?

I wonder how many "secret EO's/Directives" he has declared? That would be 19
