Yeah, and the Clinton Email scandel came out during an investigation on Benghazi. So what's your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to the ongoing Russian/Trump Admin collusion or whatever it is called now. Hillary and dems where exposed regardless of the info source.And yes, he should have have been fired by Obama after his input. That was funny!

homersapien 11,385 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Comey firing threatens Senate probe into Trump’s Russia ties The FBI director had been cooperating with the intelligence committee investigation, talking with lawmakers and sharing material. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/05/09/comey-firing-trump-russia-senate-238187 ..........Comey, who had led the FBI since 2013, confirmed publicly in March that the bureau was investigating potential ties between Trump associates and the Russian government. He was unexpectedly cooperative with the intelligence committee as it conducted its own probe into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. His removal left the intelligence panel, which did not appear to have received a heads-up, stunned on Tuesday night. “Director Comey has been more forthcoming with information than any FBI Director I can recall in my tenure on the congressional intelligence committees,” Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr said in a statement. The North Carolina Republican added he was “troubled” by the firing. “His dismissal, I believe, is a loss for the Bureau and the nation.” The intelligence panel’s investigation has been held up as perhaps the last hope for the public to understand the full scope of how the Russian government worked to undermine the 2016 election, including any potential Russian efforts to compromise members of Trump’s campaign team......

They were fired while investigating Trump. Sally Yates Wasn't she fired for arguing against Trump's immigration ban? Preet Blarara Wasn't he fired when a new regime was elected as usual and he was one of many? I must have missed what his investigation was all about. James Comey I could have swore up till now its people in the Trump Administration being investigated? Maybe CNN has the scoop.. Maybe we can play the game CNN loves to play. Truth or not true!

Now that he's holding Trump's feet a little too close to the fire, he needed to go. Hypocrisy is not a partisan issue. Never said it was but in this case the Dems are way and above the winners IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I am amazed at the number of people who have jumped to Comey's defense. The guy screwed up every where he turned for the past year...and yet that was good enough for him to be our top law enforcement officials.? Really? JMO but he made Barney Fire look competent. But some seem to be saying that he was doing a good job and should not have been fired. Is that the counter argument ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have have pasted and copied countless BS articles.Tell us when, why, how and I will help you attempt to oust Trump. Sorry but I am not following your logic. Among other things, I have been posting evidence that indicate a serious investigation into Trump's ties to Russia should be investigated. (Of course, there are many other things Trump has done that could merit impeachment, but for the sake of argument let's stick with the Russian ties.) All I want is for the truth to be known and that will take an investigation that is not yet occuring. (The congressional committee investigations are a joke - understaffed and underfunded.) While I - and many others - think there's something there, I don't know there is. That's why the investigation is needed. You - on the other - declare there is nothing there. As if you know. P.S.: If you are going to call a referenced article BS, you need to cite the article in question and explain why. Otherwise, you just come across as a Trumpbot, who believes everything that comes out of his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was refereeing a fight between the two dirtiest humans to ever seek the same office. Firing him is not a huge deal to me. But Trump shouldn't get to choose his replacement. That should be a congressional process and require 2/3s approval. You can't choose who investigates you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
