this is horrible, but lol @ Comey's letter resulting in Trump's election being the thing that results in his firing

I can't wait to see how CNN has Trump supporters arguing how this is a bold, decisive decision by Trump. Instead of reporting facts.
He could still attend as long as the senate asks him to. They got Yates after she was "fired"I can't even.

also wow @ the rationale letter from Rosenstein.
Is Trump really going to go after Hillary for the e-mails? what the fuck

The Comey Firing is going to be the real test of whether reflexive Republican partisanship has reached the point of no return

Apparently the administration gives the Hillary email press conference during the campaign as the reason for the firing?
Yup. See the DAG letter here:

It has. Senate Republicans will fully support this.

Strong leadership.
He ran on draining the swamp.
A bipartisan gesture to unite the country after this tough fought election.

Graham has already supported it. If he's not even offering some token bullshit immediately then nobody is going to say anything about it.
Exactly.
FBI director will be installed who can shield Trump.
Maybe he will nominate Guilliani.

Pres. Trump has now fired his first NSA, the Acting AG, and now his FBI Director.
Comey was less than 4 years into a 10-year term.

On one hand, I'm kind of sick about this.
On the other hand, it's a blatant admission of guilt, and I have faith the IC will do this on their own--even by going over the head of the new sycophant.

Nothing is happening.
Trump will install a loyalist.
Senate will go along because 4 years of a Russian compromised President is better than a Democrat.
You're missing the part of the equation where the IC goes on an epic leak spree. The pressure will not let up.

So, who wants to be on when the mother of all leaks is going to hit? 2-1 by Friday, those are good odds.
Yea considering the word is that the FBI was caught completely off guard by this I can imagine some pissed off Comey loyalist leaking some serious shit.

Oh yeah, the IC are gonna go crazy.
This seems like the opposite.Trump is tightening his grip on power and purging potential enemies. This is exactly how Putin started when Russia still was a democracy.

Senior officials legitimately have no idea where Comey is.

MSNBC is reporting nobody knows where Comey is at this time.

CNN Justice Correspondent on-air now saying his phone currently blowing up with texts from FBI sources asking him if the Comey news is true
He and the GOP are gonna install a puppet and the russia investigation will be never ending until people have other problems.This seems like the opposite.
This is the problem if you don't have independent investigations.

He skipped a critical step where you typically butter up and make nice with key figures and then purge everyone else before moving on the power players. Dude has no friends.

I hope Comey goes full nuclear.
Or maybe his little birds at the FBI will.

Also:
MSNBC has Greta defending Trump's decision.
So the only fear that has somewhat taken root in me is the fact that Ted Cruz hesitated on making a statement while the more moderate Lindsey Graham came out in approval of the firing.
All that indicates to me is that the senate GOP are okay with rubberstamping whoever Trump decides to push across their desks. Moreover it tacitly confirms the fact that they would have been okay with jailing political dissenters as that letter to Comey basically marked Clinton to be.
I wonder what happens to investigations in limbo and shudder to think that the GOP in office could just let this slide without any regard for optics. This is nuts.

"Spoke with Sr. Officials and they do not know where the FBI Director is but he is not in his office today."
That's from MSNBC--nobody knows where Comey is. Not like a conspiracy thing--they just don't know where he's at.
Senior officials had zero idea this was happening.
