He still has clearance. But that's irrelevant because he can't publicly disclose anything that would require clearance anyway, whether he's the director or not.

It's almost as if Snowden is less of an agent provacateur super-spy and more of a hipster douchebag who has no idea what's actually going on and just parrots whatever the edgy kids on his feed say.

2018, and 2020 are becoming more monumentally important.
Doing any kind of house or Senate driven investigation will ruin the Republican brand for an election or two.

He literally cannot, legally. So, no, he's not.
It was hand delivered to aides in his office that then went on to tell their boss he was just fired.
Do american protesters only do it near their homes? that's just lazy as fuck.
Can't they concentrate in the capital or one of Trump's properties at least?

There's certainly not backlash from republican voters, they are wondering what took so long to fire someone who protected killary.
So, it was Sessions that made the recommendation. This is unbelievable.
At this point, I'm only like 70% sure we'll still be allowed to hold elections in 2018.
Haha, this

The kicker is Republicans could have continued more subtle paths of obstruction and there was always a chance the FBI would have been unable to find any definitive proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives.
With the president abruptly, aggressively firing the head of the FBI during this investigation, they're effectively etching all suspicion about said collusion into stone.

Any Trump supporters stop by for a comment? Are there even any left?
Like they give a shit. His public opinion's been in the toilet since he was sworn into office.

Last polls had his GOP support at around 76%
There's just enough competitive seats to take back the House. The Senate, though, is super unlikely. Lots of Governor seats up too
america is a big country

Expand on this, why can't he.
There are reports saying that Sessions was tasked with finding reasons to get rid of Comey.
What are you talking about? He absolutely can testify and he will.
My use of the word assault was intentional.

Inb4 the GOP blames the Democrats for wanting this.
His base won't care. I really do think he could kill someone in broad daylight and still have people defending him at this point.

They are basically throwing 2020 and maybe 2018 in the trash. It's like a desperation Hail Mary to avoid jail time.
There's basically nothing he can do to improve his approval rating much over where it is. And I bet it drops precipitously within a week or two. No matter what 50% or so of the population will think he's a traitor.
What a silly thing to randomly bring up.
lol of couuuursee. Stop looking at me and Russia, go look over there at my bullshit Clinton circus instead. FUCK TRUMP.

Yep. That's about as dumb as anyone could be, and he's supposed to be the voice of wisdom. It was common knowledge for anyone with any sense that Trump would replace political elite in Washington with economic elite.
Oh no! then don't bother. Enjoy 4 years of Trump, America.

Actually, A recent investigation from Jacobin confirms that KG did not endorse Bernie in the womb. Thus, she should be purged from the party forever. Only Tulsi Gabbard can save us now.

It was already said earlier that he was. Him being fired doesn't make it illegal for him to testify at the committee. Yates was fired as well.
Oh boy.

I'm taking the day off of work, this is can't miss television.
Why is that on an iPad lol
My dream is that if Trump is impeached, or loses running for re-election in 2020, people will gather at the White House, Trump Tower, etc. and start chanting "You're fired"
