White House announces President Donald Trump has fired FBI Director James Comey

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What is the significance of President Trump greatly appreciating the fact Comey told him on three separate occasions that he was not under investigation???

Trump was calling Comey a brown nosing weasel.

[Meet the New Boss]

Notice that he refers to the recommendations of AG Sessions and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein.

People may be wondering why now, but I point out for those people that Rod Rosenstein has only just been confirmed by the Senate.

President Trump is even now still in the process of gaining control over the Justice Department and the rest of the executive branch.

The Senate dragged their feet on Sessions and he was all alone in the DOJ until his first appointee Rosenstein was just confirmed.

Why has the Senate been so slow? Because the Justice Department is ground zero of government control.

People like McCain and Graham and the Neocons and the assorted NeverTrumpers were hoping to somehow impeach and remove Trump from office before he and Sessions could take full control over the vast and supremely important federal government investigatory, intelligence and prosecutorial power.

The window for a contrived impeachment and removal of President Donald J. Trump is now over.

Would they have done it if they could have? Of course. The Neocons in particular have no particular attachment to or love for our American institutions, history and traditions.

Now hire a special prosecutor, gather the evidence, Impanel a Grand Jury, indicate his butt, bring him to trial, convict him and IMPRISON Comey for a VERY LONG TIME, indicate his butt.

You had them out of order:)

Yeah, the media whining about “why now”? Trying to make dirt.

—

They seem to personally resent the fact that Trump didn’t phone them up and explain to them, step by step, exactly why Comey was fired. Krauthammer just keeps whining and whining about this.

Coming up next... Little Lindsay gives us his $0.02.

Big media is doing the big chicken over this.

Exactly. Purge the agencies of the leftover Clinton and Obama hacks.

[Sam Gamgee]

Saw this on Facebook but thought it was fake news.

Awesome!

But I have to ask what took him so long!?

[HombreSecreto]

LOL

[tennmountainman]

His deputy is dirtier than Comey.

I don’t think they have GP at gitmo maybe they do?

[fatima]

Bump.

[VanShuyten]

I can’t wait to see the attached memo from the Ass’t Attorney General outlining the reasons for getting rid of Comey.

[Enterprise]

Man oh man. That was a rabbit punch to the solar plexus. Nothing gentle about it. I think he has a few more like that he’s going to sign.

[Bodleian_Girl]

By the end of the week the NYT will declare that Comey was Jesus and Trump personally nailed him to the cross.

Post of the year.

[Sam Gamgee]

Hoping Clapper is next.

[Pravious]

Someone posted it earlier in the thread... you don’t have to wait :-)

[Cboldt]

Memos are linked in this thread, post 134

Session’s letter of recommendation for removal, left no doubt he considered Comey a dirty cop.
