I'll do it. Must be nearly my turn for a government job anyway.
He'd have been gone whoever became president I expect. He won't be missed. A bit late, damage done already, though...
Fake news ?

Don't think so, a number of major news agencies are reporting it.

Fake news ? on AB I can hardly believe it !
surely not surely not

If anyone can explain - he comey was apptd by Obama for ten years and with political independence
screwed Hill'ry (Obama's pal) during the election by publicly saying he was investigating her for her emails - altho he knew about Mike Flynn's ( other party - Trump's) lying about contacts with the Russians and said nothing.
.
Commentators are now saying Trump said he wouldnt pursue Clinton altho DURING the campaign I recollect "Lock her up - lock her up!" a chant which kinda ISN'T like - 'I wont pursue'. but that might be me
.

Comey the fired one then said he would investigate Russian influence on the american election - which I would have thought he was bound by Law to do ( oo-er Mrs!) - which is against Trump but what the hell - the president of the land of the free is a businessman so doesnt know what Law means which is against Trump and pro Clinton

and so Trump fires him mid speech ( comey's not Trumps!)
on the grounds of not what he did yesterday or last week,
but last summer when another president was in power.

perhaps comey doesnt know who pays his wages
( but he was appointed to be independent)

[and one commentator has said - the thing about Flynn is that he was open to bribery by the russians....
no he wasnt - as a results of his hidden contacts he was open to BLACKMAIL by the Russians. o lardy lardy what is going on there?]



I think it is an attempt to derail the investigation into the Russian influence in the Presidential election and Trump's ties to Russia and his mate Putin! The allegations are not going to go away!
Pass 'round another marshmallow please.
Is there no end to Trump's incompetence !
Question Author
text of the firing letter here
also pages 5 and 6 contian the DAG's analysis of what comey done wrong

apparently saying " we wont prosecute clinton" is a big constitutional no-no - it is not comey's job to say that but someone else's ( fed prosecutor)

[so THAT was why they kept sir cliff on the hook for so long - - - they couldnt find the right tea lady to say "you're off the hook Sir Cliff!" - and so they kept him bailed for two years as the Search went on....)
We could be seeing the beginning of the end for Trump here.

He is turning into Tricky Dicky !
And you think Hillary would not have done the same Mickey?

The only question is why it took so long. The man is clearly not competent enough for the job.

The argument that the investigation into the alleged Trump/Putin relationship will be stopped is rubbish. Do you really think Comey was the only one doing it ?
Mikey, //Is there no end to Trump's incompetence ! //

You liked him when he attacked Syria a few weeks ago.
Alas, not fake news, What a mess trump is in being POTUS,
I suspect both eddie and mikey are right.
It seems most unlikely that Comey was fired for something that happened last year and is done and dusted.

I would bet this will backfire on Trump though.
He is not in a mess though, only in the minds of the liberal elite who had their noses put out of joint.

Having said that I bet they was a small smile on Hilarys face this morning.
Comey is the third (at least) significant personality investigatiing Trump to have been fired. If it's anything to do with the Clinton investigation then my name is Geert Wilders :-)
well the democrats wanted him fired so I guess they must be supporting Trump on this!
This could make Watergate look like theft of office stationery by comparison.
I agree Chill....a little too close to home was Mr Comey....???? Pence must be a happy bunny.
