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.

That's how I read it as well, I don't know where the "unfair to Hilary" positions are coming from based on this letter. Seemed to me like they were upset he closed the investigation rather than submitting it over to prosecutors as he promised his base he would do. Madness.

Whoa.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Someone is GUILTY AF. Holy shit wtf.

 

[Crayolan]

How to get every investigator in the country on your ass immediately. lmao

 

[rokkerkory]

Comey you should not have helped Trump win dumbass

 

[slit]

During Watergate, Dems controlled Congress, they don't now so don't jump up and down just yet.

 

[KHarvey16]

Welp. We're fucked aren't we?

This is not going to work out for Trump.

 

[NullPointer]

I can't even...

This is too much.

Oh shit.

 

[Boke1879]

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

They control congress. They could literally make it happen now if they wanted.

 

[brandonh83]

Welp. We're fucked aren't we?

We have been since November.

 

[Meowster]

This is so disingenuous. If he really thought that he was being unfair to Hillary (which he was - no lie) and the electoral process, he would have gotten the boot in the first month or two. So much smoke going on right now but so many people refuse to acknowledge the fire.

 

[jmdajr]

I can't

 

[The Artisan]

Not even close.

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

Far from over

just making sure.

 

[xxracerxx]

Holy shit at their reasoning.

 

[VeryGooster]

So......

FBI Director Kid Rock or FBI Director Ted Nugent?

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Bet he's regretting interfering in the election

 

[IrishNinja]

we need the phantom thieves now more than ever

 

[pelicansurf]

This seems shady as fuck. Maybe even illegal?

 

[Kraftwerk]

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

hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa

 

[Draper]

I want to get off Donald's Wild Ride now

 

[the_firewithin]

Ok California it's time to gtfo

I'm in!

 

[RDreamer]

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

Yuuuuuup. This is exactly what's up.

 

[Giganteus]

Why are you guys acting surprised? 0 repercussions for Trump and he shuts down the only investigation with the slightest potential to get somewhere


Basically, nothing will come of this was the right position all along

Yeah, like watergate.

 

[Muffin1611]

Oh hey guys, was just playing some stuff on Steam, did something happen in the meanti-

 

[Maiden Voyage]

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

The FBI Director is appointed by the President....

 

[Sobriquet]

please no Greta please no Greta please no Greta

*turns on MSNBC*

Oh thank God

 

[brau]

I dunno about you guys, but im tired of winning.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

This russia shit is going to get swept under the rug now....

 

[SomTervo]

The Cambridge Analytica and AggregateIQ algorithms will spin this story beautifully.

The war is already lost.

 

[F0rneus]

Well this is the end. Enjoy 7 next years of Soviet USA. Probably more.

 

[Mattakuevan]

History repeats itself. Let's all hope for a similar outcome, shall we?

 

[wandering]

They control congress. They could literally make it happen now if they wanted.

Graham is already supportive of the decision. They aren't going to investigate shit.

 

[WedgeX]

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.

Indeed!

Donald Trump offered high praise for FBI Director James Comey on Monday, saying "it took a lot of guts" for him to decide the agency should review new evidence regarding Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server at the State Department.

”In all fairness, I think right now she has bigger problems than Obamacare," Trump told supporters in Grand Rapids, Michigan. ”They may finally have gotten wise to the Clintons. Perhaps they've finally gotten wise."

...

”And I have to give the FBI credit. That was so bad what happened originally," Trump said, referring to Comey's announcement in July to not recommend charges against Clinton to the Justice Department. ”And it took guts for Director Comey to make the move that he made in light of the kind of opposition he had where they're trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. You know that. It took a lot of guts."

Trump, who was highly critical of Comey, the FBI and DOJ after his summer announcement, said Monday he ”really disagreed with him" at the time.

”I was not his fan," he added, ”but I'll tell you what: What he did, he brought back his reputation. He brought it back."

The lying is just so blatant!

 

[TS-08]

I think we're going to start getting more leaks from the FBI.

 

[Jonogunn]

There has to a way to stop this madman

 

[Pastry]

Was Comey respected at the FBI? Could backfire big league

 

[Boke1879]

Doubt Comey loyalists in the FBI let this slide.

This is the story of the week. Expect leaks about why this happened all week.

 

[BrutishMrFish]

Comey you should not have helped Trump win dumbass

I hope his six months of job security were worth fucking the country over.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

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

I don't know why this made me laugh so hard. But here I am...


On subject: Fucking disgusting.

 

[strafer]

woah

 

[oti]

Comey you should not have helped Trump win dumbass

There will be entire books written about Comey in the future.

"This is a grotesque abuse of power by the President of the United States." -Jeffrey Toobin, CNN

Wow, Toobin saying that is massive. Brilliant man

 

[Fuchs]

This is absolutely terrifying. This shit makes him so god damn suspicious. Still, nothing good is going to come out of this. Enjoy the next ~8 years guys.

 

[Strike]

Dude, he's so guilty.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm guessing that means the FBI found something then. I hope that info manages to come to light.
Trump just being able to fire the director of the FBI because he feels like it is scary.

 

[GregLombardi]

This is absolutely fucking horrifying

 

[howdyjacker]

What an utter shit show.

It's sad that there isn't any organization or person that can save our country from imploding in on itself.

 

[Ray Wonder]

hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaaa

but it's definitely the opposite.


The reading comprehension in this thread is killing me! haha

Can someone read those again and tell me I'm wrong??

That's how I read it as well, I don't know where the "unfair to Hilary" positions are coming from based on this letter. Seemed to me like they were upset he closed the investigation rather than submitting it over to prosecutors as he promised his base he would do. Madness.

I really don't see how this thread is going the way it is rn tbh haha

 

[DrForester]

So......

FBI Director Kid Rock or FBI Director Ted Nugent?

Sheriff Clarke.
