Trump fires James Comey
- Thread starter tlwwake
- Start date
We'll have to agree to disagree. He calls out everyone, even Republicans, and I don't think that's being old school DC political. He wasn't a politician, but yes, he had to be political in his strategy to get elected. But he's far from what we're used to.
Again, I do understand where you're coming from.
And this is his political MO. That is what he sells politically and wants people to believe.
Finally you may get your #Pizzagate investigation... Interesting the things you buy into v. the things you dismiss out of hand. Flynn v. Flynn Jr....
vs Hillary's non-existent classified emails on not only her unsecured server, but a pedophile's laptop...
Just saying.
You posted at different times in this thread that he made bad political decisions. My take is he did this because he doesn't care about "political" ramifications, if there are any. Again, I understand your angle, but disagree.
Real estate magnet fires professional law enforcement agent looking into potential bad real estate deals.
It would look bad had Obama or Bush done it.
If there wasn't an open investigation into the Trump campaign and/or Russian espionage during the election it would be fine.
I'll bet you a bag of ginger snaps trump has open investigations against him until he dies.
I just think this political move (firing Comey) by him is strange given the ramifications of it at this time.
I have plenty of respect though for Trump's political skills (though not his policies).
Actually, more like this...
Hey Charlie Brown, not sure you are going to get to kick this football.
Perhaps. But if Obama or Clinton had an opened investigation against them by the FBI and fired the FBI Director, what would you have said?
I think it was public knowledge Trump had bad real estate deals, Hillary made that clear during the campaign.
If there was espionage during the election, how does that fall on Trump?
What ramifications? Trump gets it. This will be Cecil the lion our kony 2012 in 72 hours. It doesn't matter what the reasons. Sure it looks bad.
Of obama did it you would have hannity, fox and breitbart freaking out. Since trump did it the entire other 97% of the media and the liberal demographics that spit and scratch on social media going bananas.
He should have been fired immediately, and maybe there was something they needed from him first. If you are team Russia scandal, this is nixonesque. If you are not, this is just a Tuesday.
The guy indicted himself when he explained everything Hillary did and then said it wasn't a prosecutable offense. Corrupt.

Right back at ya... any new pedophile conspiracies to promote?
Be interesting to see where it all lands. Unfortunately it looks like another partisan he said she said speculative cluster.
If Clinton touches her nose in public I assume it is a secret sign for someone to be murdered. Maybe I'm not the best person to ask.
The exact same thing it would have been had Hillary been elected and fired Comey after his less than advantageous (for her) political timing on the announcement of reopening the investigation into her e-mail issues.
Hopefully it goes no further than simply looking like this...
Actually, he just did his job there. It didn't make the right happy, but what he did a couple of weeks before the election didn't make the left happy either.
If Trump did fire Comey simply because he didn't prosecute Clinton, I think that is troublesome as well. Presidents shouldn't be firing FBI Directors when they fail to do what one political party or politician wants them to do in regards to an investigation.
Like, that's not even possible and anyone with a pulse knows it. They'd both have been in prison before their terms were up if that was a remote possibility.
That's like somebody who is actually a real football professional acknowledging you were actually a "player performance specialist" on Twitter and not completely full of your own made up bullshit to creepily stalk teen football players so you could act like you had some insider info on a message board to get some "cred." Yep, just like that.
I'm not saying it does.
If it happened he is the most likely to have benefited, and that's true whether he or his advocates were involved or knew nothing at all.
No she didn't. Read the laws.
No doubt she was careless and make a bad mistake. She screwed up. However, that doesn't mean she broke the law.
The fake news today is that Hillary has anything to do with Comey losing his job.
Unless the Trump White House is just really slow about fixing things.

Give me a break. You are clueless. Careless is misplacing your keys not setting up a private server and having classified info on it which she lied about. I don't want to discuss intent either because I have no intention of giving your opinion on this topic an ounce of consideration.
You have no clue what's been going on between trump and the FBI in relation to Hillary the last 100 days. You don't know if it's slow or not.
