Any guesses?

I had suspected Comey’s days were numbered.

I don’t have anyone else in mind at the moment.

Schumer is to make a statement shortly.

I suppose we might as well hear from the party in charge.

Something that is all too often ignored in this whole fiasco

It was NOT Comeys job to decide what a prosecutor should or shouldn’t do with the info they gathered.

So does anyone have a link to Rosenstein’s brief about the firing?

Howie Carr is reading from it now.

Of course Comey mishandled it.

Under direct orders from his boss, AG Lynch. Who was paid off by Bill Clinton on a tarmac in Phoenix.

All of whom operated under the direct approval of B. Hussein Obama.

Bastards (and bitches) All. Indict them all.

Most of the 'hundreds and thousands' of emails, Brower wrote, were there as a result of backups of other devices – and not manually sent by Abedin.

When I back up my computer it does not go to Anthony Weiner's laptop. I am confused. Perhaps some computer savey techs can explain.

Howerver I am most pleased this culebra is gone. He was a snake.

Trump is savvy. Many thought he would be a bull in a China cabinet. But he hasn’t. He has been quite restrained. He especially seems to allow people enough roope to hang hemselves as he did with Comey. He is doing the same with NK. He is more patient than some believed.

The not-so-subtext is that Comey broke the rules and went outside accepted procedures. Hmm...

The letter from Rosenstein lays it out straight and correct. Comey had no business conducting the "Clinton email" presser, especially usurping the role of prosecutor, but also for "airing Clinton;s dirty laundry" if the FBI wsa not going to recommend charges.

"Comey fired for costing Hillary the election!" Woot!!!

Where have you been? You might want to occasionally see what mainstream “news” outlets are claiming, just to know what the other side is saying. The lefties have been claiming almost non-stop that Comey in his previous testimony before Congress indicated that Trump has been under investigation for ties to Russia since last July (he actually never said Trump himself, but the leftists don’t let facts get in their way).

Trump is trying to make it clear that what Comey told him directly contradicts what the left is claiming that Comey and the FBI were doing (investigating Trump himself). Trump’s smart enough to know exactly how the anti-democratic propaganda “press” will spin this firing and wanted to get his side out first.
