Notice how POTUS manages to clear his name while firing Comey?

Yes he did, but he had to, in this overly politicized environment. Probably won't stop the Dems from claiming he did it to stop Comey from investigating the Russia thing, anyway.

Somehow it immediately feels like a late Friday afternoon—and it is only Tuesday.

But the timing was right with the MSM blathering on about Comey’s errors in his statements about Huma and the emails.

Go, President Trump!

....... the timing of the Comy firing was right..... with the MSM blathering on about Comey’s errors in his statements about Huma and Hillary's classified emails.......

You got that right.

Huma Abedin — Clinton's top deputy — testified she made “a regular practice” of forwarding “hundreds and thousands” of Clinton messages to her perv husband, “some of which contain classified information.

But Comey blithely testified to Congress that Abedin had done this so that the disgraced former congressman could print them out for Hillary.

This is so blatantly untrue----doesnt the trillion dollar US govt have copying machines? And office staff to do this?

Did it ever occur to Comey that Huma and her husband wire-transferred the classified intel out of the country---
to America's enemies? Huma has global Muslim contacts --- people who'd pay large sums for US intel.

==========================================

This'll give you nightmares, people.....counting up Huma's cousins w/ their greedy Muslim hands in the State Dept cookie jar.

UNDER HOUSE ARREST---This smirking creep is Huma's first cousin AKA a serial swindler
He subsidized businesses w/ our tax dollars looted from Hillary's State Dept. Six million dollars is missing.

EXCERPT--“Thanks for getting in touch. Would love to arrange a meeting,” Huma Abedin replied in a June 23, 2009, email to her cousin Omar Amanat and Shamil Idriss, who heads New York-based Soliya Inc.

In May 2010, then-Secy Clinton helped Soliya get access to U.N. funding by making the U.S. a participant in a U.N. high-tech media initiative called the Alliance of Civilizations. Then in October 2010, the State Department directly awarded Soliya $1.25 million for a media technology project. “Huma helped Omar make KIT appear more valuable because of its association with the Alliance of Civilizations, which was approved by Hillary and funded in part by U.S. grants (tax dollars),” said an attorney familiar with the case.

“This helped Omar raise money for KIT, which he and his brother misappropriated for other purposes. Approximately $6 million has vanished.”

Amanat took KIT Digital public in August 2009. At the time, Amanat, known as a “serial swindler,” was in personal bankruptcy and being sued by other investors. Despite his reputation, he still managed to gain special access to US government tax dollars thanks to his ties to his well-positioned cousin and the Clinton Foundation.

THE MONEY LAUNDRY Records show that Amanat and several other family members and related charities have together donated as much as $1.2 million to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative, as well as the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Amanat, who personally contributed as much as $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation, was appointed to the Council on Foreign Relations during the time that Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of state.

While the FBI has apparently closed its espionage investigation into Clinton’s unsecured private email server (the House has reopened it), its public corruption investigation into the Clinton Foundation remains open.

It’s not clear if this still-active probe overlaps with the Amanat fraud investigation. However, investigators reportedly continue to look into alleged “pay-for-play” schemes involving the Clinton State Department and the Clinton Foundation and its wealthy donors, as well as entities that paid the Clintons millions of dollars in speaking fees.

Judicial Watch and other government watchdog groups have charged that the Clinton Foundation was a pay-for-play operation that rewarded its benefactors with State Department favors.....and cash.

Except Clinton fired the FBI director his first year as well. Amazing how short memories the left has.

Comey was manic and out of control in his Congressional testimony this week. Trump and Sessions gave him a chance to pull it together...and he failed.

Buh Bye, Comey.

Per Catherine Herridge, Comey and the agency were blind-sided.

Herridge is saying that there is much concern about Assistant Director McCabe. He will be passed over and the nod will go to the next in line.

As evidenced on CNN and Twitter, the left is going into a FULL-blown meltdown over this. Comey and his deputy were the firewall keepng Democrats out of prison...
