GOP senators on Comey firing: Where they stand
President Trumps decision to fire FBI Director James Comey is splitting Senate Republicans.
Several prominent GOP lawmakers have raised concerns about the timing of the decision, which comes as the FBI is investigating the 2016 election and any contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Others, however, have offered support for Trump, arguing the president was well within his authority.
ADVERTISEMENT Trump scored his most prominent defender on Wednesday when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) noted that Democrats had previously criticized Comey and supported Rod Rosensteins deputy attorney general nomination.

they stand in line receiving paychecks from businesses they pass laws for, as they ignore what the constituents that elected them want. They stand in line for pizza too.
To summarize:
TAKIN’ DOWN THIS BIOTCH!
These people should be scared for their lives.
Freaking corrupt coverin their own ass !!
UGH
Democrats were hating on Comey for supposedly torpedoing the Hildebeast.
Republicans (the good ones) hated on Comey for botching the Clinton investigation.
Hating Comey was a bi-partisan thing. So when Trump fires him, you get some of the same people calling for Comey's scalp doing a freak-out.
