Comey fired

[hello]

Oh, he fired the Deputy Director and a bunch of Agents? I didn't see that part.

This is particularly damning, he just cleaned house. The director is a political position appointed by a political appointee(POTUS). Firing low level career government personel (who ARE investigating him) is fucking shady as hell , this is like firing the SecDef then going ahead and firing 20 Seargents/grunts.Stop defending the indefensible!

You're being willfully obtuse.

In other words: "Even though I just got finished saying this is the exact same thing as Nixon, and you pointed out I was wrong, stop pointing out where I'm wrong and just fall in line!"

Presidents cannot be allowed to fire the people investigating them. This isn't okay. This is what Dictators do.

I think dictators do more than just "fire" the head person in charge of a federal agency.

Also stop acting like Comey is out there in the field asking questions and gathering evidence or some shit. He has a fucking desk job.

You have to worry that whoever takes over for comey will undermine the investigations. Not sure if you're trolling, but comey was in charge of any investigation by the FBI.

This will lead to an independent investigation. Also, the reason for firing comey is asinine. He was basically fired for the way he treated Clinton.

Trump also had his personal bodyguard deliver the letter. It's crazy.

I hope this is trump's version of Nixon/cox. The beginning of the end.

He can't do that. They are all Civil Service Employees and have the rights of appeal and several other protections. I was being sarcastic.

He is incharge of it the way that he is incharge of every investigation. He isn't investigating anything, information is just being given to him. The people actually doing the work were not touched. If you're worried about "interfering" with investigations... The FBI is under the DoJ... Who is incharge of the DoJ?

The Deputy Director exists precisely so that politics can't muck up the FBI too much. He is a career Civil Service Employee who actually runs shit and doesn't have to sit infront of congress all the time.

It's comedy now. I'm certain that we're being bamboozled and this is all secretly a crazy reality TV show orchestrated by the mass media for ratings.

Um, it's clear that she thinks Comey is Fox Mulder.

You're right. Absolutely. He's overseeing the whole thing. The people doing the actual investigation are likely STILL working on the investigation now.

But, if a new director comes in with intentions of delaying or undermining these Russia investigations, we may never get to the bottom of the whole thing. Which is why a special independent investigation needs to occur.

Would you agree?

I wouldn't mind if the investigators themselves were before Congress with their findings at the conclusion of their investigation, that is fine with me (not that it matters if it is fine with me or not.) If that was to be a known condition, no new Director would be able to influence them. Something at this high a level, I think anyone appointed to Director would know that is a likelihood. Infact, it'd be a guarantee if they find something on Trump himself. The onus is on Congress. They can subpeona investigators. If they decide that the newly appointed Director, or anyoen else, influenced the investigation... You have problems and that leads to impeachments.

[Parkbandit]

The President just fired someone investigating him. He did it, in part, on the recommendation of someone else potentially being investigated.

This has happened exactly one other time. Nixon.

If you can't see the problem here, you're selling out your country.
Don't normalize this. This is not what happens in healthy democracies.

Leave it to time4fun to really bring the stupidity here.
