Cummings wants ‘emergency hearings’ over Comey firing
The Hill ^ | 9 May 17 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 05/09/2017 5:39:34 PM PDT by SkyPilot

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Tuesday demanded “immediate emergency hearings” over President Trump’s 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 Sessions’s involvement in Comey’s 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.”

They were screaming for this to happen back in October. That’s when doofus was the Pres. Now Trump fires him and they go ape. Typical hypocritical libs. Cummings reminds me of a kind of candy I ate as a kid. Part of the name is apropos for him- Dud (if you know what I mean).

I really am praying for him to stroke out. Preferably on camera.

Or even better, have one of our scanners explode his head on live tv.

LOLLLL So who is coordinating the liberal talking points? Probably H Clinton operatives and Media operatives. There is obvious coordination by the Left and that is the story that needs to be exposed. Are Hillary Clinton operatives asking for her to not be called to testify about any criminal investigation now that they know Comey is gone?

This is definitely coordinated by H Clinton and O staff and appears to be from the shadow government of O trying to still pull the strings against Trump. Fortunately, Trump is 4 steps ahead of them.

Someone please expose the liberals who are coordinating this false narrative that the Russians fixed the election in order to get Trump elected. HA Everyone knows this is a lie. Most likely Clinton’s team along with O’s shadow govt are grasping at straws trying to change the subject back to Russia. They scared now that Comey i.e. liberal gatekeeper is gone. HA!

That’s why I want Sheriff David Clarke. SOME of the suspects are black. We need someone who is less likely to be open for accusation of being raciss.

Many are scared as all hell over the Comey firing.

He was protecting all the wrong doing by inventing an intention requirement that never existed.

It is frightening for the establishment and especially Democrats regarding what happened. They are at risk now of prosecution for already transpired things that were criminal that Comey was blocking from prosecution.

Time to plow the road.
