BREAKING: Trump Fires Comey

[Thomas Jackson]

Hillary Clinton or Tim Kaine would have fired Comey as well, especially after what he did on Oct. 28 and Nov. 6. So I don't see what the big deal is. Clinton-Kaine would have chosen a left wing lawyer just like how Trump would pick a right wing lawyer. It is what it is.

Except neither Hillary Clinton nor Tim Kaine would have been under investigation by the F.B.I.  Duhhhhhhhhh

Neither is Trump.

Yes he is

No he isn't. An article from March? From the frickin ATLANTIC?

HAHHAHAHAHHAH!

With text that doesn't match the headline?

You really are desperate.

You expect the FBI to complete an investigation in one month?

Once again... read slowly. You are posting an old article, from THE ATLANTIC, with a headline that doesn't match the text of the article.

I'm sure that you don't actually understand the distinction. I'll give you a cookie if you can figure out where you stepped off the tracks of reality.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

F**k Trump and all his factory working making tires in Ohio supporters

This is why you lost. What an angry, helpless, bitter little loser you are.

Go to a hospital and settle down.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

I wonder who'll be cleaning out Comey's desk today, considering he's in Los Angeles:

This seems to be massively backfiring on GOP so far in terms of hot takes and narrative

Honestly, we have heard that since... 'They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.'

[Devout Centrist]

Eh I wouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves here. Trump does erratic things all the time. So go ahead and attack me as a Trump hack when I didn't even vote for him but cmon some of you guys are foaming at the mouth.

But why? I mean, there has to be a reason

Except it's not a cookie, it's horse sh**t, you just can't tell the difference.

The Tuesday Night Massacre...

[Virginiá]

In a sense, yes. If only Bill Weld was the Libertarian nominee instead of Johnson. You think Clinton would have wanted the man who investigated her to continue leading the F.B.I.?

I don't think she would have wanted it, but I'm not entirely convinced she would have fired him either. It would have been very damning and if Republicans controlled a chamber of Congress (very likely), it would have sparked even more investigations. Everything else aside, Hillary is not an idiot.

Also, jfc people, just stop the petty insults already.

What can you expect? They're panicking; they can't help it.

No Trump supporter can answer the question: how do we have faith in Donald Trump's ability to appoint a FBI director when there are active FBI investigations into Trump's campaign with Russia? How do we have any faith that this wasn't motivated, in part, by the Russian investigation Comey led?

I keep asking that question because I believe that the Trump supporters can't answer it.

By the way I thought Comey did fine and I thought Clinton was pretty unethical so dont throw that bull at me.

FOX reporting diane feinstein was instrumental in the decision to fire him.

Yeah you're deflecting. You're just trolling at this point and trying to go for “The Democrats are onboard this.“

My questions on Russia and Trump stand. At least be honest enough to tell us you don't actually care about the investigation.

I have said THREE times in this thread that the russia stuff needs to be investigated and that there were shady people working in the campaign. I will say nothing more until evidence is presented.

Do you morons think investigators are carried out by directors?

[The_Doctor]

I like how it was all “bitter liberals screaming!” but when we get to the heart  of the matter -- the involvement with Russia the Trump people refuse to engage and deflect, hiding behind the insults.

Of course not, but a new director can stop an investigation, you moron.

[KingSweden]

A ton of FBI and IC people will leak like sieves if there's a there there and Trump tries to shut it down, frankly. Still on the fence about the merits of Comey himself, who really should have been gone a while ago

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. You were pretty EnglishPete for a while trying to dodge.

Now answer the second half of my questions: why aren't you concerned about the conflict of interest that Donald Trump would have in replacing Comey? You specifically say directors don't carry out investigations but they have considerable power over them and make the final recommendations to prosecute -- or not to.

[Yank2133]

Quick question for Trump supporters. Do you guys support having a special prosecutor lead the investigation?

I mean if Trump is clean then what does he have to hide?

[Yank2133]

Looks like they're trying to stop the investigation:

The Senate can't keeping ignoring this.

Get a special prosecutor.

[The_Doctor]

I dont care about Feinstein, I don't care about 2016, I dont care about all of that. What I want to know is simple: how you guarantee a full and fair investigation of Trump's connections to Russia with a Trump - led FBI director who has to sign off on the orders and guide the investigation.

This is what matters.

[The Dowager Mod]

Calm down people, Stop the insults or I will lock the thread.
