It would be nice if the corrupt media and the kooky Dems like Schumer actually read the letter.

The timing was near perfect.
The dems stonewalled the approval of many of Trumps nominations for various positions, one important until just 2 weeks ago.

The backing that Trump has by taking this action at this time builds a great wall around the decision so that the alt-left/dems/leftists/MSN/liberals/pro Obama-Clintons’ complaints will show that the miscreants don't believe in the instating of the necessary Rule of Law which keeps the USA on the right path.

That path is the path of a Constitutional Republic.

Making America Great Again!

It is possible he was forced to pull the July and Oct stunts by his President. Think about that. And who has control of the Dem mafia today? The lady born in Iran to Communist parents. Here is what I believed at the time: Comey looked like there was a gun to his head in both July and Oct but his conscience made him decide to warn Americans about the hidden Communist mafia (Holder, Clinton, Obama, Valjar) in the only way he could.

After all, who really believes their mafia thugs weren't telling Comey the consequences of starting an investigation of the treasonous Clinton mafia? Thugs in power like to hire compromised men who can easily be controlled.

Maybe, but...Holder said nothing that either the Clinton or Obama mafia would dislike. It was Holder, himself, who planned, coordinated, consulted on every nefarious thing both mafias did. Loretta Lynch is simply the pawn who will ultimately be the fall guy. She is not as evil a mind as Holder.

The firing of Comedy took away a protector and a weapon for their side.

According to Section 404 under Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968

(b) In the exercise of the functions, powers, and duties established under this section the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall be under the general authority of the Attorney General.

Who stated that the Deputy was his immediate in the chain of command?

I ask you the question because I am being challenged by a bunch of liberals on this. Can you help me out on this?

I could be wrong but I have a habit of taking what I read on Free Republic as pretty close to gospel truth, I have that much confidence in Jim’s vision for our country.

Not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but here’s the Left’s official notes:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/top-gop-lawmaker-calls-on-sessions-to-recuse-himself-from-russia-investigation/2017/03/02/148c07ac-ff46-11e6-8ebe-6e0dbe4f2bca_story.html

...Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Thursday that he will recuse himself from investigations related to the 2016 presidential campaign, which would include any Russian interference in the electoral process...

...The responsibility to oversee the FBI’s Russia investigation will now be handled by Sessions’s deputy attorney general, the department’s second-highest-ranking official. The acting deputy attorney general is Dana Boente, a longtime federal prosecutor and former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who stepped in when Trump fired Sally Yates in January.

Trump’s nominee for deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, is scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing on March 7...

Actually, the only person that reports to the AG is the Deputy AG. Most of the agencies report to the Deputy AG. Also, in the case of the Russian investigation, Session recused himself, so the Deputy AG doesn't even report to him on that. Sessions is out of the loop. Here is the organization chart of the DOJ :
