AG Sessions reccomendation:

So the pretext is that HE TURNED THE ELECTION FOR TRUMP AND SO CANNOT GO ON SERVING

Hilariously twisted.

 

[so1337]

And how was it, Comey?

I hope it was fucking good because it's useless now, isn't it?

 

[LotusHD]

I never could have imagined that he would be this stupid.

It's fucking Trump tho lol

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Jesus

Crazy times, history in the making I think

 

[Angry Grimace]

Did he not learn anything from Nixon?

 

[samoscratch]

 

[GreyWind]

Nixon dejavu?

 

[gabbo]

So aside from looking guilty, what actual implications does this actually have? It's not like Sessions is going to push to keep the investigation going

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

You're literally just saying shit. He just fired Comey and now you think NOTHING will happen?

Genuine question as a non American. Who's left to enforce anything on them?

 

[Freshmaker]

Is it legal for Trump to disclose that Comey told him he wasn't being specifically investigated?

Pretty sure the FBI's not supposed to disclose that information in the first place.

 

[Team Filler]

...

I really need to stop procrastinating on buying a gun.

 

[Felix Lighter]

This is terrifying.

 

[wandering]

The FBI investigation was what we were riding on

 

[Xando]

Lol according to CNN they cite comeys handling of hilarys emails as a reason of firing

 

[oti]

Not gonna lie...

Those checks-and-balances seem pretty non-existent right about now.

This guy seems to be able to do whatever he wants :/

Greatest Democracy on Earth

 

[hydragonwarrior]

So Trump could have fired him the entire time? WTF?

I guess they were just waiting to see how much information he was holding before it was time to let him go.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

That doesn't make Cheetobutt look suspicious at all.

 

[Kinsei]

so does this mean the whole russia thing is done for good?

Did Nixon abolishing the Watergate task force cause it to just go away?

 

[Jotaka]

Are you kidding me... seriously?

The amount of articles saying its because Clinton's email is massive

 

[balladofwindfishes]

so does this mean the whole russia thing is done for good?

Far from over

 

[NotLiquid]

Future generations are going to be looking back at these years as great source of theatrical comedy.

 

[rokkerkory]

feeling mildly nauseous still Comey?

 

[cameron]

Holy shit.

 

[Ernest]

Wonder who's gonna take the job.

There is a strong pro-Trump contingent within the FBI, but after this, who knows?

 

[TS-08]

Trump is claiming he fired Comey for getting Trump elected.

Yeah it looks to me they are trying to frame this in a way that will appeal to Trump and Hillary voters. But none of this makes sense because he could have been fired months ago for this.

 

[BrutishMrFish]

Trump is claiming he fired Comey for getting Trump elected.

"I hate this fucking job. Why didn't you tell me it would be so hard?!"

 

[slit]

"It can't happen here/to us" - a statement never once followed by anything less than it happening here/to us

It's happened before to us in the 70's so that statement is stupid to begin with.

 

[Fast Forward]

Trump supporters won't give a crap.

Yep.

At this point, I'm convinced Trump could literally come on TV and say "yeah, I stole the election and I did so with Russia's help," and Trump supporters would defend him saying he did it for America to protect us from the criminals, and terrorists.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Call Russian connection fake news in tweets

Change your Twitter banner to be a quote from your Russia tweets

Fire the head of the FBI during Russia investigations, using the AG who recused himself from said investigation

Say it was because he was too mean to Hillary

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

So they are trying to frame it that he got fired for mishandling the clinton investigation and holding that press conference.

If that was the reason, why did it take nearly five months?

 

[rpg_fan]

You're literally just saying shit. He just fired Comey and now you think NOTHING will happen?

That's exactly what's going to happen, so.... yeah? A lot of noise, but the same party controls all branches, and there is no out with the courts on this one.

 

[ebullientprism]

Are those letters real? It makes him look (if possible) even more guilty.

This is unbelievable. If you dont march on Washington for this, you deserve whatever Trump does.

 

[RustyNails]

These assholes are seriously saying they fired Comey because of his actions during the election, which made Hillary look bad?

Jesus fookin' Christ...

YUP

AG memorandum: "We do not hold press conferences to release derogatory information about the subject of a declined criminal investigation. Derogatory information is disclosed in the course of criminal investigation s and prosecutions, but we never release it gratuitously."

YOU FUCKS

 

[Netherscourge]

Richard Nixon fired his own AG when he was under investigation for Watergate.

So, this sure is pretty damning stuff.

 

[Amir0x]

Future generations are going to be looking back at these years as great source of theatrical comedy.

"Comedy" in its original Ancient Greece sense of the word.

 

[Mrbob]

Lol according to CNN they cite comeys handling of hilarys emails as a reason of firing

He did it for the Democrats lol.

 

[daveo42]

Holy fuck. Just heard this on NPR. Olympus is burning.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

This really reeks of desperation and it's going to backfire. If it's anything like with what happened to Nixon, it's going to come back and bite him in the ass HARD.

 

[MIMIC]

So he fired Comey because of the emails letter? LOL OK.

 

[Lunar15]

Sessions reccomended his termination due to the way he handled the investigation into Hillary's emails?

And they do it now??????

 

[firehawk12]

Wow, using Hilary as a reason to fire Comey. Amazing.

 

[J-Rzez]

Well after how things were handled during the election, how the FBI staff was broken down into cliqs, and the stuff going on now this shouldn't come as a surprise. Poor mismanagement and leadership. It was inevitable.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Knowing these fuckers could this bomb drop be a way to focus attention from something else that happened today?

I mean, what could be bigger than this lol

 

[RDreamer]

If that was the reason, why did it take nearly five months?

They realized they could use his sworn testimony explanation against him and after this long it doesn't look quite as suspicious, I guess.

 

[davepoobond]

If that was the reason, why did it take nearly five months?

because he only just talked about how there is an investigation into the Trump/Russia connection in the past few weeks.

 

[infi]

Wow this seemed to come out of nowhere.

So who do we think will replace him? I can't see the Reps in the senate standing up to Trump so they'll probably go along with whoever he wants.

If its someone like Giuliani who was part of the Trump campaign what would happen to the investigation? would both the AG and FBI director recuse themselves from one of the biggest FBI investigations at the moment?

 

[Envelope]

Enjoy the next 7.6 years of this guy

 

[Guy.brush]

I also have the feeling the streets is where this will be fought and won.
The pillars are crumbling on the hill.
Dangerous times for the US, the danger to stumble over the rubble and slip into Erdoganistan is very real.

 

[Kickz]

LMAO what is happening..

 

[Indicate]

HOLY.
