Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday he is disappointed with President Trump's decision to fire FBI Directory James Comey, arguing such a move reinforces his calls for a special congressional panel to investigate Russias interference in the 2016 presidential election.
While the President has the legal authority to remove the Director of the FBI, I am disappointed in the President's decision to remove James Comey from office, McCain said in a statement.
Comeys firing comes in the midst of an ongoing FBI investigation into whether Moscow interfered in the 2016 election, including whether Trump transition officials worked with Russian officials. The issue is also being probed by the House and Senate Intelligences committees.
McCain said Comeys firing amid the FBI's Russia probe is all the more reason to form a special congressional committee that will independently investigate the matter. I have long called for a special congressional committee to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 election. The president's decision to remove the FBI Director only confirms the need and the urgency of such a committee, he continued.
While a number of GOP senators voiced support for Trump's decision to fire the FBI chief, McCain praised Comey as "man of honor and integrity" who "has led the FBI well in extraordinary circumstances."
Critics have questioned whether Trumps decision was an attempt to sway the FBI's Russia investigation, with many questioning the timing of Comeys dismissal.

I find McCain’s actions and utterances so despicable that his shamelessness is monumental. Can there be any wonder that the man has so few friends?
Anything that McCain is against, we know is a good move.
When are people going to acknowledge that McCain is a deep Dem operative posing as a Republican.
Comey and Brennan answered to Jarrett and O, in that order. Bout time Dem operative Comey was exposed just like Brennan.
McNuts, be disappointed in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which one fills up first! FU McNuts!
And each time that POS opens his pie hole, he again reminds us why he is irrelevant.
Too bad Hannity and Carlson do not start a new news station. Let the faggot, Sheperd Smith, run what used to be a decent news channel.
For the first time in weeks I have a smidgen of hope.
McCain is a Benedict Arnold to his country. He also doesn't toe the common sense line either. He is the epitome of whats wrong with the GOP.
Senator John McCain passed documents to the FBI director, James Comey, last month alleging secret contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow and that Russian intelligence had personally compromising material on the president-elect himself. - January 2017
The swamp is deep.
Hopefully Sinclair Broadcasting will get one started...
When is your role in arming jihadist rebels & the destruction of Libya & Syria going to be investigated, you monstrous piece of shit?
Welcome to AZ!! we need all the conservatives we can get.
Must say, you were brave to move here in August. Monsoon season will be here soon enough. What I hate are the dust storms.
I’m all for a Constitutional Amendment for Term Limits, while at the same time, repealing the 17th Amendment & restore the Senators true function.
John McCain isn't a maverick. John McCain is just in it for John McCain. Screw the people of the USA.
Not by choice to arrive in August believe me. Just the dust this weekend was making me yak.
If I gave you a wakizashi, senator, would you do the right thing?
Well John, we’re even. I am disappointed you are still breathing!
What an idiot......I’m disappointed every time he opens his mouth......
st*u, John boy.
“When hes up again, if Im still living in Arizona, Ill actively work for his primary opponent.

So did you get to vote for that looser Martha McSally? She’s just about as big a disappointment as is McLame.
