Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Tuesday demanded immediate emergency hearings over President Trumps firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Congress needs to have immediate emergency hearings to obtain testimony directly from Attorney General [Jeff] Sessions, the deputy attorney general and FBI Director Comey, Cummings said in a statement.
The White House was already covering up for [former national security adviser] Michael Flynn by refusing to provide a single document to Congress, and now the President fired the one independent person who was doing the most to investigate President Trump and his [2016] campaign over allegations of coordination with Russia.
Cummings added that Sessionss involvement in Comeys ouster is mindboggling, noting that Sessions stated that he would recuse himself from investigations into any ties between Trump and Russia. There is now a crisis of confidence at the Justice Department, and President Trump is not being held accountable because House Republicans refuse to work with us to do our job, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee added.
The White House announced Tuesday afternoon that Trump had fired Comey following recommendations from Sessions and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, over his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton
's handling of classified emails.
While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to lead the bureau, he wrote in a letter to Comey dated Tuesday.
It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission.

Everyone with a brain knows Hussein started the Russian lie to keep the Podesta emails off the front pages.
But you assume Elijah has a brain.
He’s probably scared of a new FBI director - IF and I mean IF the rule of law applies to elected officials. He was safe under Comie.
I expect there are several nervous persons near the Potomac today. NY also one might think.

They don’t actually say that in German. They use the word “Scheisskerl” (s—guy, not s—head, like we say in English). The American author of Catch-22 came up with “Scheisskopf,” but it isn’t real German. Just saying.
Theyz comin’ for the chillen!
I know, as a Christian it’s wrong to hate, but this jack off is EVIL, therefore...I HATE him.
Trump fired the man they wanted fired after Clinton lost the election. Just not for the reason they wanted.
Scott Adams is talking about how funny their lack of reasoning is, because their world view says they have to oppose Trump no matter what he does AND even if they agree with it, they have to oppose it because it isn’t for their reason.
