Remember that the FBI is currently investigating Trump's ties with Russia.JUST IN: White House fires James Comey as FBI director, Press Sec. Sean Spicer confirms to @MajorCBS.— CBS News (@CBSNews) May 9, 2017
Clearly time to assign that special prosecutor.
Update: Here is more from Politico:
President Donald Trump has fired FBI Director James Comey – a move that comes as the FBI is probing potential contacts between Trump’s campaign aides and Russian officials ahead of the election.
"The president has accepted the recommendation of the Attorney General and the deputy Attorney General regarding the dismissal of the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters.
It was not immediately clear exactly why Comey was ousted.
Remember Trump's AG, Jeff Sessions, also has ties to Russia.
So was Comey getting a little too close to the truth for Trump's comfort?
Maybe.
Update 2: Trump's letter to Comey.

Claude Taylor and Louise Mensch say Olga Lautman know everything about Dump and his Russian collusion bullshit. I started following her, she says he and his kids are going DOWN. Please make it soon before Trump appoints Scott Baio or DOg the Bounty Hunter as FBI director. I hate them, we need a coup to get rid of the damn traitors running this country!!! Someone do something now!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh wait until Comey is summoned to speak to the Senate Investigation.
ReplyDeleteTrump's next FBI director will re-open the investigation into Hillary's emails and Bill's meeting with Loretta Lynch.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first step in Trump's plan to LOCK HER UP.
Count on it.
It's time to recall what the rightwingers are fond of saying: The Second Amendment is not about squirrel hunting!!

DeleteMake it Hillary's fault and make all those who voted for him think he's doing a great job.
All while he sells us out and destroys all that makes us a great country.
Woa, so fire him now?
DeleteOk, so nullify the election and lets have a do over.
The mechanisms of our Government have not changed since the last hundred times you posted such nonsense 3:22 lol.
DeleteAre you actually STILL thinking that can happen?
No nullification, no do-overs.

DeleteThis is uncharted territory so ALL bets are off. Rewrite the fucking constitution.
Lol 4:31. Now you want to re-write the Constitution hahahaaa!
DeleteThe wheels have come off the proverbial bus that is your brain.
There are no bets to be on or off. It is over. The election is over. There are no do-overs. Trump is President. If for some reason he doesn't finish his term, there is a replacement, and so on down the line.
Yep. Nixon was just gettign HIMSELF power. In this case, there was collusion with a foregin power to take over, or seriously undermine American interests. You DON'T just let those traitors stay in power. Pence is tainted. PERIOD.
Delete"Trump's next FBI director will re-open the investigation into Hillary's emails and Bill's meeting with Loretta Lynch."

My God, "new election" , what a larf!
"While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I'm not under investigation...."
ReplyDeleteBefore I fire you, I need to tell the public you haven't got nothing on me. You're close but you ain't gonna get me copper.
Great point. Even when firing someone, trump made it all about him. That paragraph was not necessary and I'm betting it's a lie. Comey wouldn't talk about an ongoing investigation unless it involved Hillary clinton
DeleteAnderson Cooper called that sentence "gratuitous" when talking to Kellyanne Conway.
DeleteANd that was a lie. He may not have been "wiretapped" by the Obama administration, but you NEVER tell the target of your invesitagation that they are the target of an investigation. NOT EVEN IF THE TARGET IS THE (illegitimate) POTUS.
DeleteBesides, T.Rump only hears and sees what he wants to.
Tiny Hands is only trying to cover his own a$$, and as usual, makes matters only worse for himself.
DeleteIs there anybody out there who didn't see this termination coming? Comey overstepped his boundary and Trump stomped on him.
ReplyDeleteTrump thinks the firing will end any investigations, and trump is wrong.
DeleteYea right, little donnie was so upset that Comey overstepped his boundaries that he had him fired immediately after the inauguration.
DeleteMore like Comey is still investigating little donnie and his band of traitors.
So is he bringing Comrade trump’s marching orders, who to fire next right to the W.H. ?
=======================================
Official: Trump may meet top Russian diplomat in White House
By JULIE PACE and VIVIAN SALAMA - The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump could meet with Vladimir Putin's top diplomat at the White House on Wednesday, a U.S. official and a person with knowledge of the plans said, describing what would be the highest level, face-to-face contact with Russia of the American leader's young presidency. It would also signal that the two countries have improved ties that Trump recently described as being at an "all-time low."....
Comey was toast the minute he told the media he regretted the letter and that it cost Hillary the election.
DeleteHow long before he starts having people assassinated like Putin does?
ReplyDeleteComey better watch his back bigly!
DeleteI'm worried that his plane is going to crash on his way home tonight. Seriously.
DeleteSenator Gr@$$hole's statement!:
ReplyDeletehttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/grassley-reaction-comey-firing
“Over the course of the last several months, Director Comey’s decisions on controversial matters have prompted concern from across the political spectrum and from career law enforcement experts.
“The handling of the Clinton email investigation is a clear example of how Comey’s decisions have called into question the trust and political independence of the FBI. In my efforts to get answers, the FBI, under Comey’s leadership, has been slow or failed to provide information that Comey himself pledged to provide.
“The effectiveness of the FBI depends upon the public trust and confidence. Unfortunately, this has clearly been lost.
“The FBI Director serves at the pleasure of the president. Under these circumstances, President Trump accepted the recommendation of the Justice Department that the Director lacked the confidence needed to carry out his important duties.”
So Senator Grasshole says we are supposed to believe it is still all about Hillary;'s emails. Fox News is on it like flies on a fresh turd!
All righty then! It's a good thing Comey didn't do this BEFORE Trump decided to keep him on!~ Ooops!
"“The handling of the Clinton email investigation is a clear example of how Comey’s decisions have called into question the trust and political independence of the FBI."
Delete--------------------
In other words: "Now we can serve the American people by getting a good FBI Director who will do a real investigation of Clinton's emails and not be distracted by fake news about Russia."
How come the rethugs didn't have a problem with Comey when he came out with his letter a few days before the election? All of a sudden he is the bad guy.
DeleteMy bet is he has all the info on traitor trump and little donnie is egotistical enough to think firing him will make it all go away.
Shades of Nixon. Didn't that start with the firing of Archibald Cox?
ReplyDeleteSenator John (Juicy for vice president) McStain!
ReplyDelete"Sen. John McCain on Comey firing: "I regret that that took place. The president does have that authority, so I respect that"
Frank Zappa had it covered!
"So I went out and bought me a leisure suit
I jingling my change but I'm still kind cute
Got a job, doing radio promo,
And none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo!
Eventually me and a friend,
Sort of drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power,
As long as I get my little golden shower"
Lets face it Gryph, if Comey was not fired you would say there was a conspiracy... if he was (is) fired, you would (are) call it a conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteComey has been under too much scrutiny from all sides to be effective anymore. Removing him from his position would be the obvious choice for any administration.
You are a fucking idiot! Don't breed!

Hey I'm pleased that something is happening, But! How the heck, why the F was nothing investigated prior to this? The moment that the fat ugly liar came down the elevator he and his friends should have been investigated, vetted and checked out completely. The moment he was nominated it should have gone into intensive extreme vetting. WHO the F is responsible for that? The same who vetted Palin? The FEC, CIA, FBI and homeland security? WHO? and WHY? was nothing done until now?. I don't get it. Average Joe and Jill taxpayer are more vetted paying their taxes, taking out a loan, getting a job. But not don john he can get away with murder, bribery, theft, extortion, lies and anything. Why did it take so long to expose the crimes, illegal mess? This must never happen again. Kick the shit out the door and lets get this right.

ReplyDeleteAG Sessions Toys With Ending Russia Investigation Completely Minutes After Firing The Guy Heading It
ReplyDelete....For those keeping score at home, this is the part in Watergate where Nixon abruptly fired the special prosecutor looking into his crimes and closed down the investigation. The attempt to quash the charges backfired spectacularly, hastening Nixon’s impeachment. Will Trump’s team make the same mistake? Only time will tell.
Trump himself made it clear in his letter to Comey that his firing was related to improperly supporting him during public hearings on the FBI investigation into Trump’s connections to Russia. Trump appears to be unable to grasp that the investigation is ongoing, despite his baffling conclusion to the contrary.

WATCH: Rachel Maddow perfectly lays out how Trump’s Comey firing is like Watergate
DeleteOn the afternoon of May 9, President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. By that evening, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow (and much of the political intelligentsia) were comparing Comey’s shocking sacking to the ‘Saturday Night Massacre’ — the Watergate firings and resignations that began the end of President Richard Nixon’s career.
While others discussed and even briefly explained the ‘Saturday Night Massacre’ and its similarities to Trump’s scandalous firing of Comey, Maddow gave viewers a history lesson, and placed it within the context of what happened with Comey — and, moreover, explained the timeline of the scandal surrounding deposed national security advisor Michael Flynn, the firing of acting Attorney General Sally Yates, and now, Comey’s termination.

White House Says It’s Releasing Hillary’s Private Concession Call To Trump In Bid To Humiliate Her
ReplyDeleteTrump’s emotionally unbalanced social media director and close friend Dan Scavino had what can only be described as a mental break and is now threatening to publish a video of the private concession call she placed to Trump (and appears to have been answered by Kellyanne Conway).
To do so would be not only a major ethical violation but would break with the long-standing tradition of the winners showing an ounce of graciousness towards their opponents. Trump and his team apparently have no qualms with stooping this low. If there is a point of indignity even they will not cross, they have yet to reach it.
Scavino has long relished in his role as Trump’s nastiest bulldog. His position as White House social media director was handed to him, not due to experience or expertise but because he was Trump’s golf caddie. In a White House bursting with nepotism and corruption, Scavino might be the least qualified person around – an impressive feat. He is also known for his viciousness and an unhinged streak of petty attacks on his or Trump’s perceived enemies follows wherever he goes. Clinton, who won the popular vote by several million, still irritates Trump and therefore she is an enemy Scavino feels he needs to destroy.

Trump tries to pin responsibility for firing Comey on ‘Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’
As all of the hubbub over President Donald Trump’s stunning decision to fire FBI Director James Comey began to settle down, the president popped up on Twitter and attacked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Earlier in the evening, Schumer held a press conference to call for an independent investigator to pick up where Comey began.
Tuesday night Trump shot back at Schumer, tweeting, “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer stated recently, “I do not have confidence in him (James Comey) any longer.” Then acts so indignant. #draintheswamp.”
Trump pointedly said nothing about GOP Sen. Richard Burr (NC) who is chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and said he is “troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey’s termination”
Cryin’ Chuck Schumer stated recently, “I do not have confidence in him (James Comey) any longer.” Then acts so indignant. #draintheswamp

If there was any doubt of Trump's guilt and that of everyone he surrounds himself with, this should remove it.
He's dirty. He's beyond dirty.

Oh the records go back a long long way back. The bad actors have over 500 lawsuits pending. Investigators have been on it for years. Its Huge. Big. Gigantic. There is no way out.
