One can be at once a critic of Comey and alarmed by what Trump has done and how he has done it.

Actually no Bill, you can't. It explains why you are lumped in with all the Beltway lying filth now.

Is he in a white Bronco?

 

[Frank Cannon]

Trump made him ride in a Mini? How humiliating.

Comey isn’t fired = outrage.

Comey fired = outrage.

Outrage = outrage.

WikiLeaks would be happy to consider hiring James Comey to help lead its DC office should he like to properly investigate the US government.

Andy is a card. Hilarious.

Yes....but it only has been around since 1935 and Hoover ran it all the way to the Nixon administration.

Can someone put together all the zillions of negative news concerning the first firing of an FBI Director by Bill Clinton so we can compare the 2nd firing stories with it?

This is what I found so far

I disagree.  Trump has every reason to be ticked at Comey.  The former head of the FBI has done more with his bumbling to call Trump's legitimacy into question than anybody else.  Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Lol, that one's hilarious.

DT did not have the decency to speak directly to the FBI director.  The man found out when the rest of the world found out...........on TV.
Did no one surrounding the orange buffoon explain simply courtesy to him?

I do have a problem with this...Trump should have called him,

[Rivergirl]

The irony.
DT used HRC emails to club her to political death and now those very same emails will be used to club the orange buffoon to political death.
And hopefully, take Pence, Sessions, Nunez, and assorted other traitors out with him.

[anubias]

If you admit i have excellent lyrical talents! 

Indeed.  I believe Stephen Colbert discussed your talents on his show.  You are quite famous in that regard.

In my humble opinion.... Comey stopped deserving any courtesy as soon as he hauled Hillary's @ss out of the proverbial fire over her incompetence and putting our national security at risk, not to mention her involvement in the deaths of four Americans.  Screw Comey.

Rod Rosenstein has been Deputy AG two weeks. That's a pretty short time for him to have done the work to make so serious a "recommendation."

Good point.

Rosenstein's letter is pretty aggressive for a two-week guy!

[jmyrlefuller]

The only issue here is that, like I've said before, these kind of decisions could have been made on Day One. Doing it now makes it look like retaliation. Heck, knowing Trump, it probably is.

[bolobaby]

Here we go.

I nominate Ted Cruz....he'd be a bulldog, relentless but fair and impartial when applying the law.

Won't happen, but would be fantastic.

@Mesaclone

But but but... Lyin' Ted in charge of the FBI? What about his father's ties to Oswald???

Please, Mesaclone, don't make us laugh with your patronizing "approval" of Ted Cruz now. We know where you stand with him.

It took 18 days and a leak before Flynn was fired for lying to VP on Russia. Comey was out in a flash, upon receipt of Rosenstein meno.

As opposed to doing it on day one?

@SenSchumer

If we don't get a special prosecutor, every American will rightfully suspect that the decision to fire #Comey was part of a cover-up.

[bolobaby]

Glad to see Comey go.

Elections have consequences.

Now, please, let the Dems SQUEEEEEEEL like stuck pigs for days and days and days. Grant no hearings and tell them, too bad, so sad. You lost.

Buuuuuut... knowing the spineless GOP, they're probably drooling over an opportunity to collude, uniparty style, with the Dems again.

Blow me. The cover up was the Hillary emails, you partisan hack.
