Half this fight is in the justice system. The other half is in the media. It shouldn’t be like that, but the MSM is a major part of the problem. We must come at them sideways, and disturb the narrative they try so hard to spin to their agenda. They need to be held accountable, and their malfeasance aired in public.

Am I the only one here that thinks is another major mistake by Trump? Trump should done this within the first 100 hours of his presidency!!! Now looks like Trump is going full Nixon and making it look like his administration has something to hide real or not....

Why should we care about what the loser left, including the media, thinks???

The democrats and the left have already failed America. It's time we start treating them like the losers they are instead of cowering in fear of what they think.

Screw them and their lies, corruption, and failed agenda!!!

President Donald Trump has sensationally fired FBI Director James Comey, days after he provided false testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee about classified emails from Huma Abedin found on Anthony Weiner's computer.

I hope it all proves to be that simple. DC is looking forward to finding an impeachable offense, or some offense they can shape into one.

Any, and all words that I can convey to the offices of Flake and McCain would be greatly appreciated.

Another graphic re the pipeline business. Hillary's pipeline in blue. Now we know why Putin is in Syria. You didn't know Hillary was in the oil business, did you? : )

Here's the other graphic with the explanation.

I Thank God every day that Hillary did't get elected and President Trump did. I still think God had a hand in this.

Both pipelines go through Syria, so am not sure how it makes a difference.

If one pipeline —didn’t— go through Syria, then that would be different.

I think, IMO, your going to see a lot of Congress people hitting the ‘mattresses’ right suddenly...

There is dirt on every one of them...and now that Comey is gone, there is ‘no cover’ for them...

McCain and the dossier, Linda Graham, Pigolsi, Di=Fi, Schumer, McCabe is already under investigation for the money problem with his wife and Hillary...

Poop is going to run downhill now...people are going to start to talk, the media, talking heads and radio show hosts are going to turn into pretzels trying to turn this against President Trump and it just isn't going to work...

The Dems can try to do whatever, they are NOT in power, and the RINO’s and the GOPe and the United States Chamber of Commerce, the super pacs, lobbyists are all going to be ‘unavailable’ for a while...

McCain’s access to the Taxpayer checkbook is on the skids, so he is angry

I took it as an excellent one sentence summation of Comey’s standing (or lack thereof).

They can’t stop Trump if the Reps in the Senate vote to confirm him or her. It only takes 51 votes.

Both pipelines go through Syria but imho, Hillary wanted Assad toppled so she could beat Putin to the punch so to speak. Get rid of Assad, install a Hillary (assuming she was President) friendly puppet and it's off we go with the pipeline.

No, this is much much better than that. Comey has embarrassed himself with inaccurate Congressional testimony this week and the Deputy Attorney General (who was confirmed well after Sessions) had time to assemble an ironclad case of statements and analysis. This was the perfect way to handle it.

Deputy AG said Comey mishandled the investigation of Clinton’s use of private email...

Perhaps, but the whole “history” of Watergate - including the part about Nixon “throwing his underlings under the bus” - is tainted by the full court press of lies that have been repeated ad nauseum for 45 years.

The Watergate story is what I call “fake history” - it’s what you get when fake news goes unrebutted for too long.

You may or may not be correct about the limited choices that Nixon faced. However, I simply don’t trust any of the “facts” surrounding that story.

To put it in a modern day perspective, just imagine what history would say about this afternoon’s events if the Democrats and leftist media were able to succeed in framing Comey’s termination as a Saturday Massacre? What if the Senate impanels a grand jury and a special prosecutor and “proves” that Trump fired him to derail an investigation against him? What if Trump was unable to deter efforts to impeach him and succumbs, finally resigning as Nixon did?

If that were to happen, history would be written by his enemies and would be record his “guilt”, regardless of his innocence.

Politics is like war: “to the victors go the spoils”. In this case, the spoils are that you get to write the history.

This is my my pet peeve; everyone concedes that much of the consensus news regarding current events is politically motivated “fake news”, but hardly anyone questions the consensus history of past events. Why would so-called history be any less fake than so-called news?

The Democrat vermin and their media scum are getting their “panties” twisted into a dither. The swamp is being cleaned and “Comey” is headed for life in the obscurity cesspool of history!!!

Now is the time...to lock Hillary Clinton up......to lock Bill Clinton up....to lock Barack Hussein Obama up for eternity, for the criminals and traitors they all are.

Americans....politically destroy the entire Democrat Party in the upcoming Mid-Term elections of 2018!!! Go Donald Trump, Go Jeff Sessions, Go Ron Rosenstein!!! Bravo!!!

The Left will yell “ Trump fired Comey because of th FBI investigation into Trump Russia connection. Comey was on to something so Trump shut him down”
 
Yeppers - already seeing that around the internet - crowing about comparisons to Nixon. Sheesh.
