He can be dismissed but no cause is needed. He is allowed one term of no more than 10 years, but it is not a “term”. It is a -maximum limit- designed to prevent a future J. Edgar staying for life.
But he is not granted a term under law. He can be fired at will. But 10 years is the max he can serve.
Could that be in reference to the guys who were the subject of the Slate article about the server in Florida?
remember when the Clintons MAGICALLY had possession of all those FBI files?
According to a 2014 report by the Congressional Research Service, “there are no statutory conditions on the President’s authority to remove the FBI Director.” In other words, the President can indeed fire the FBI director. An FBI director can also be removed by congress, through the impeachment process.
They can be fired like any other minor Bureau leader. He isn’t even cabinet level and they can be fired at will.
Thank you. Can’t trust MSM.

Trump would not be the first president to fire an FBI Director before the end of the 10-year term. In 1993, then-President Bill Clinton fired FBI Director William Sessions after a Justice Department ethics investigation found that he abused his office by failing to pay taxes on his use of an FBI vehicle and for billing the government for work done on his private home.
Well, I didn’t know that he could only be dismissed under the circumstances you describe. I thought he was like every other political appointeee...that he served at the pleasure of, and could be dumped when a new administration came into office. Thanks for the info.
This creep needs to be water boarded.
That made my day ... Hillary was clued into the wiretap... makes sense but it’s nice to have confirmation from the horses mouth.
I heard that... I had to spit out my drink.
Assuming President Trump was wire tapped, then Hillary has some questions to answer.
Where did she get this information she tweeted about that indicates Trump was spied on?
See post #25.
How do these people keep track about who’s got the goods on who else...???
Are the 900 FBI files HilLiARy illegally obtained still paying dividends? MOST Of those same dirtbags are still around in office, I bet...
Thank you!
The cover up is always the worst....leads to people being caught and tried
This is awesome. Comey is going to be publicly fired and disgraced.
This is going to be written in the history books and in his obituary. Ignominy for the ages.
Great stuff, thanks! That’s TRULY a smoking gun.
Interesting theory.
Well, she was worried about everyone hanging from nooses if Trump got elected.
“Well, she was worried about everyone hanging from nooses if Trump got elected.”
That was an interesting phrase, wasn’t it? Why would she say that?
