Perfect

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

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

They'll be too busy searching the wasteland for food and guzzoline to ever learn about this shit..

 

[Blader]

Jesus Christ.

How can anyone feel good about this? Trump will pick the next FBI director. Trump will handpicked the man who is supposed to be investigating Trump. This is scary fucking shit.

 

[Slowdive]

Wow.

 

[Palette Swap]

That Clinton justification is like an Ouroboros where the ass eats the head.
Seriously.

A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the White House

 

[ItIsOkBro]

the one and only thing comey's been trying to save all along, his job.

 

[BitStyle]

Oh shit

 

[Marz]

Lmao wow. Get this fucking clown out of the damn white house.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

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

That doesn't pass the fucking smell test at all. Not even fucking close.

Jesus Christ.

How can anyone feel good about this? Trump will pick the next FBI director. Trump will handpicked the man who is supposed to be investigating Trump. This is scary fucking shit.

Which is why this will and should lead to a massive push by both sides for an independent investigation/special prosecutor, you cannot move forward now.

 

[Dahellisdat]

Holy fuck.

I'm expecting some major leaks to drop soon.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

I wonder how Comey feels right about now.

You were used to turn the election in Trump's favor and then subsequently discarded faster than a used condom the minute you started doing your job.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Please, please, please let there be a huge portion of the FBI that is extremely loyal to Comey.

Holy shit lol. But seriously isn't a major risk that he can appoint someone that will put all his weight behind shutting any investigation that hurts trump ?

 

[WorldStar]

haha amazing

 

[Ray Wonder]

AG Sessions reccomendation:

They're not saying because "Hillary was innocent, why did he say those things"

They're saying "Comey should've never said that he thought she was innocent. It's not his job to do so"


They're firing him because Hillary Clinton isn't in jail.

Lunatics.

 

[Retro]

 

[Mighty Chin]

How many Republican Senators are needed to join the Democrats in calling for an Independent Investigation?

 

[EatinOlives]

This doesn't even make sense. Why would they wait five months to get rid of him?

They probably got a whiff of something major happening in the internal FBI investigation and want to shut it down quickly. Which, of course, is the single stupidest thing they could've possibly done.

 

[Talamius]

If Trump thought the leaks were bad before, whew.....

 

[El Topo]

Enjoy the next 7.6 years of this guy

I see that you're an optimist.

 

[Envelope]

Jesus Christ.

Seriously, what did you guys think would happen? Trump would just let it stand because it's the right thing to do?

 

[RDreamer]

@chrislhayes

My read of the DAG's letter "Comey went rogue during 2016 election,ignored chain of command." Implication: we're worried he'll do it again.

It's absolutely this.

 

[Pastry]

Let the leaks begin

 

[Dmented]

Wasn't Comey given an award by people affiliated with Trump after he announced he was "re-investigating" the emails a week or so prior to the election. Which has been shown had a impact on the election.

So fucking hilarious that in Trump's camp almost anyone is disposable. Even the guy who gave him a hand in winning the election.

 

[Boke1879]

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.

Comey being fired doesn't stop investigations with Trump or his team with Russian dealings.

 

[RinsFury]

Putin has a replacement stooge already picked out.

 

[RCSI]

I AM SCREAMING

Well, yes it is about the emails in the way he was the face of the investigation.

The direction they are dismissing Comey is not unexpected, but still gravely concerning considering the ongoing investigation. First part of the letter is bullshit, seems they were looking at procedural ground for dismissal.

 

[Netherscourge]

It's all up to the Senate now.

So, yea, it's probably a wrap.

McCain and Graham have no balls.

 

[King Tubby]

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

Usually a distraction isn't supposed to be worse than what you're trying to distract people from.

 

[the_sun_king]

Obvious cover-up attempt is obvious.

 

[Occam]

Wanna bet Trump will lie that this was the reason:

And I was right.

I'm 99.9% sure they're firing him because he announced that he believed she was innocent. Being too nice to her.

.@PeteWilliamsNBC on @MSNBC: Sr. FBI official just told him he "had no idea this was coming. They are in shock there."

 

[norinrad]

This makes sense. Donald didn't want to be president, the director's actions lead to him being voted into a position he never had the intention of being.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Dis crazy, mane.

 

[MIMIC]

The FBI better hurry up and finish their investigation. The new guy (or gal) will burn all the progress to the ground.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I have no faith in the Republicans to try to deal with this.

 

[Netherscourge]

By firing Comey, he's admitting he didn't win the election fairly.

 

[LiK]

feeling mildly nauseous still Comey?

HAHA

 

[Ashodin]

They're using Hillary's emails as an excuse

AGAIN.

yo I agree with this tweet

CNN SAYS FBI HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS COMING INTERNALLY AT ALL

 

[rpg_fan]

Comey being fired doesn't stop investigations with Trump or his team with Russian dealings.

The very first, most important qualification of the new director will be absolute loyalty to Trump.

 

[BrutishMrFish]

Seriously, what did you guys think would happen? Trump would just let it stand because it's the right thing to do?

People didn't think the people around him would be dumb enough to let him pull a Nixon.

Welp. We're fucked aren't we?

I mean, what could be bigger than this lol

Usually when a distraction isn't supposed to be worse than what you're trying to distract people from.

Yeah I know but after the last few months anything is possible lol.
