In law, sua sponte (Latin: “of his, her, its or their own accord”) or suo motu “on its own motion” describes an act of authority taken without formal prompting from another party. The term is usually applied to actions by a judge taken without a prior motion or request from the parties.
There is a precision and clarity to that letter that makes it delightful to read. A similar cleansing wind needs to blow through the IRS, and soon. Let the guilty tremble.
Thanks for posting this here.
They could write an entire book about Comey’s horrid tenure. And they probably will.
Rosenstein was nominated Jan. 13 and confirmed April 25.
Trump fired Comey at the recommendation of his Deputy AG, who didn't take office until 2 weeks earlier.
They need to nuke the IRS. They need to be taken down hard.
Director James Comey gone! And for cause!
I have to say, however, thinking back to last July 5, I was worried.
What if Comey lands on the bitch, lobbing the hot potato into Loretta Lynch's lap?
The DoJ can refuse to prosecute. The 'Rat Convention can still nominate. That would be the best outcome: a crippled Hillary up against the Donald.
But what would actually happen? The convention, fearing a sure loss, could throw it to Crazy Bernie or even Slow Joe Biden.
At the time, I thought Hillary was a sure loser. But the other two? How would the sheeple view them?
So, when Comey coughed up his non-indictment indictment, I was actually relieved. It was going to be the Hildebeest vs the Donald, and the Hildebeest was going to lose!
In the event, she did lose, albeit not by as comfortable a margin as I had hoped.
Your comment drew my attention to the letter - it is understandable and relatively free of the bureaucratic B.S.
Libtards call Trump a NAZI because his jewish deputy attorney general recommended he fire comey.....
Let that sink in a bit....
EXACTLY !!! The FBI director reports to the Deputy AG, not the AG. It is from the recommendation of the Deputy AG, that the President makes his decision. As you said, thanks to Schumer, et al., he was only confirmed 2 weeks ago.
I imagine those are quite the high crimes and beyond misdemeanors......
Amen...Rosenstein is a beast.
Called it out like a savage :)
As though it wasn’t obvious; Comey is an owned hack. The dirt on him must be OVERWHELMING...Whitewater and HSBC to say the least...I wonder what else they have on him
There is real substance in this letter that the media will ignore in their effort to Nixonize Trump’s effort to establish honor with the FBI.
One commentator on Fox last night said that Comey saved Hillary’s candidacy with his non-indictment grandstand. I agree with that. Always have. He did Hillary a favor by clearing her right before the general campaign. She mentioned that frequently, even during the engineered debates.
That’s why Obama didn’t fire him. He was on their side. Has been all along.
But, the problem for those in the media and for the Democrats is that Comey's twisting of the law, of FBI standing principles, and of legal procedure was so twisted and corrupt that it cannot be defended. To do so is laughable.
Now that the outrageous behavior and actions of Comey to cover up for Hillary last July and AGAIN last October is being thrown back in the media's face, in Comey's face, and in the Democrat's face - they don't like it one bit.
Everyone that comes in contact with the Clinton’s is destroyed!
bump
Former FBI Director James Comey was NOT wrongly discharged by President Trump IF he was following the recommendations of both the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General AND if Comey gave the appearance of engaging in obstruction(s) of justice.
