Sources say James Comey furious at his treatment by Donald Trump.

Courtesy of ABC News: 

Former FBI Director James Comey was furious at the lack of respect the White House showed him in the way he was fired, sources have told ABC News. 

Associates say he is simmering at some of the comments directed at him by White House staffers, who have used words like "atrocities" to describe his actions as director. 

One person close to the former director said that President Trump calling Comey a "showboat" and suggesting he is not "competent" has required Comey to show considerable restraint.

(No no, don't show restraint, speak man speak!)

A source said they expect that at some point Comey will respond to Trump -- but it is uncertain when that would be. For now, Comey has taken a few days to gather himself, particularly given how caught off guard he was by the timing of the firing.

So perhaps he will speak..I don't know....next Tuesday to that Senate Intelligence Committee?

As for Trump's attempts to threaten Comey, consider that bluff called:
Oh man, I think we are ALL hoping there are tapes.

There are also reports that FBI agents are scrambling to make progress on the Russian investigation for fear the Trump Administration will "kneecap" it before it reaches a conclusion.

Courtesy of the Daily Beast:

Two well-connected former FBI employees told The Daily Beast that counterintelligence agents working on the Russian counterintelligence program out of FBI headquarters in downtown Washington met for drinks in the hours after their boss’s firing and shared their concerns: that they would be reassigned elsewhere, and their work on the Russian-Trump associates investigation would come to a grinding halt.

There are also Right Wing operatives, including our own Sarah Palin, who argue that Comey was not popular among FBI agents.

However that was refuted by Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe who said that Comey had "broad support" within the agency.

And it is also refuted by this:

The Daily Beast said at least a dozen agents posted images on their private Facebook pages of themselves with Mr Comey, or else of Mr Comey alone.

The gesture is apparently usually reserved for a colleague who dies in the line of duty.

I think it is pretty clear that Trump has kicked a hornet's nest.

Let the stinging begin.

      The tapes or records of the conversations, whether digital or not, will simply be destroyed. Trump has precedent for that in what Bush and CO. did in the first weeks of 2009. It's a bit like destroying embassy files as the enemy invades the building.

      I would never have believed the man's reputation in the eyes of Democrats could be salvaged so quickly. As one pundit said, the charitable interpretation of Comey's actions last October is -- has always been -- that he is a true Dudley Do-Right type who takes very seriously his responsibility to crusade for truth, justice, and the American way. Some of the stuff that's come out recently seems to support this, e.g., his comment about being "mildly nauseated," and his refusal to give tRump the loyalty oath he asked for. As a Federal employee myself, I am also impressed by what we heard last week about his leadership of the agency: going the extra mile to support the troops, etc. I've been around the gov't for a while, and some directors were better than others. But none deserved to find out they were fired by seeing a headline pop up on a television.
      But, to summarize, tRump has not only pissed off the (now former) Director of the FBI by treating him with a total lack of respect, and not only left him with no concerns about losing his present position, he has also pissed off most if not all of the law enforcement agency Comey used to lead. A winning move if ever there was one.

      The Bush II White House was not the least bit concerned about destroying records. They knew that no one would do anything.

      What they did was one of the reasons that President Obama insisted on keeping such meticulous records, including the visitor log. White House records actually belong to the American people. They're a resource for future historians. I guess Republicans do not want future historians to tell the country's story with any accuracy.

    There is absolutely too much ridiculousness in this administration for it to be able to survive. From the nepotism to the actual dereliction of duties of the POTUS, the meeting photographed with the Russian delegation without POTUS knowledge and now this possible illegal taping of the Comey meetings, which were very strange to begin with, I can't imagine that this guy is going to have to resign before shit gets really real for him.

    Not even to mention the "Trump lawyers saying there was no indication of Russian income in his last 10 years of tax returns". As if the media or the public should take this at face value? It's not so much the income we're concerned with, it's the loans and having a POTUS that is financially "on the hook" to Russian lenders.

    FFS, could any of this get any more ridiculous?

      As nice as that may sound, 12:13, without a court order - which is HIGHLY unlikely - NONE of the info on the recordings would be admissible and might also go a long way toward making legitimate information inadmissible as well.

      Besides, it is probably illegal in and of itself.

      Nice dream, though, if it could happen legally.

    I know the NSA is listening to all of us, but isn't it still illegal to tape a private conversation without all parties' consent? I would expect that all conversations in the white house are recorded. Wouldn't Comey know that? Wouldn't Trump know that too? So why would Trump think this is a threat with teeth? And does he really think he doesn't live in a fish bowl now?
