I trust the president on this.
“Comey’s ass is fireable. More so after such an arrogant statement.”
In my view, Comey needs to be charged under sedition laws.
He made a public statement, as FBI director, on an investigation that is now proved to have been approved, that he denied publicly.
He then asked another agency to further the falsehood.
Firing him is not just an option, it is the ONLY option.
How ironic.
The very next day, July 20,1993, Vince Foster would be murdered.
President Trump can indeed fire the FBI director =>

It is sometimes assumed that the President can oust an FBI director only “for cause” – that is, for some misconduct in office. But, as a Congressional Research Service study of the director’s office pointed out two years ago, “there are no statutory conditions on the President’s authority to remove the FBI director.”

I think you are right.
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

IMHO, there needs to be a constitutional amendment limiting EVERY appointed and elected office in the Federal Government to a maximum of eight years. NO EXCEPTIONS FOR ANY REASON.
