Statement from the Press Secretary

 

Today, President Donald J. Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office.  President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“The FBI is one of our Nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement,” said President Trump.

A search for a new permanent FBI Director will begin immediately.

Don’t forget Comey recommended Fitzgerald as prosecutor in the last Democratic Party coup plot to take down Dick Cheney; all they got was Scooter but they tried..

I'm shocked. At first I thought it was some kind of joke fake report but this is really fantastic.

When Comey last apologized for "the letter," he basically provided prima facia evidence of negligence in his failure to arrest Hillary for acts that would have put anyone of the rest of us not IN the jail but under it.

Comey should have been dismissed in March 2004 for the stunt where he blocked everyone but family from speaking with AG Ashcroft.

Rudy may be okay but lets look for someone that isn’t in their 70s.

It won’t be real soon. These cases require enormous preparation. Since it will be beyond a reasonable doubt the “Are We There, Yet” Caucus will be in full howl.

Just watched “The Story” on FOX...They were saying Trump was wrong in the way he did this and it should not have been done...

Then on comes Tucker Carlson and says it was about time this was done...

Except for Carlson and Hannity, FOX has gone to the dark side....

Which is why that guy Maddow from MSLSD is leading in the ratings. I think fox is done. Need an alternative “mass media” outlet for our point of view prior to 2018.

Rudy too old?

You're both probably right. My perspective on "too old" has probably shifted too far as I've put on the years.

I hope and pray that President Trump takes all of them down!

To the point that a special SUPERMAX prison has to be built for them!

Just gitterdone!

These are the best copies of the Comey firing documents I could find. I’m putting the PDF link up here.

If someone has found a better copy source, please let me know. I want the best copies I can get my hands on.

This can be saved to your computer.

Thank you.
