Probably the FBI has found something on Trump re the Russians.

That should have read SACKED the FBI Director

I find it amusing that you're blaming Obama for Trump's pick not filling in his Security clearance forms properly.

As soon as the Trump administration were informed of the issue, by Sally Yates, they started to investigate. Sally Yates was less than clear and had to be contacted again. Investigation makes sense rather than relying on the word of a less than enthusiastic Trump supporter. It seems to me that the process was correctly followed.


It still seems strange to me, that given Obama's reservations, that interim status was allowed. I know Obama doesn't get involved, but as a President with doubts he could have had an input if he was so concerned.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

James Comey fired latest: Donald Trump dismisses FBI Director

Quote:
FBI Director James Comey - who was leading an investigation into alleged links between Donald Trump's team and Russia - has been fired by the US President.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement that Mr Comey has been "terminated and removed from office." Mr Trump acted on "clear recommendations" from Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
However, Democratic Senators were quick to point out the constitutional crisis that has been created by Mr Trump removing a man in charge of investigating him. Senator Dick Durbin said on the Senate floor that the firing of Mr Comey raises questions "as to whether the Russian interference in the last presidential election... will also be investigated by the FBI.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

The plot thickens, Comey fired just before this is made public.

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/09/po...ry-fbi-russia/

Also worthy of note is that nine sealed indictments allegedly came down in one case with sixteen more expected in others.

Again allegedly, Comey was at the EDVA when he recived the news of his being fired. EVDA is reknowned for "Rocket Dockets"

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Rod Rosenstein's letter recommending Comey is fired.


Apparently he has previously served under both Democrats and republicans at state level.

''Insert as many reasons as required here''

Like I've said previously, it was astonishing he still had a job after the election. The amount of terrible botches he's made in his role over the past year is incredible, getting called out by both parties and rightly so. His answers to the oversight committee were absolutely embarrassing throughout as was his overall reaction, he really didn't have a clue.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

He probably deserved to be fired. The reasons given were valid although it's odd that the Trump administration is so concerned how unfair it was to Clinton and also waited until now to do it.

We'll have to wait and see who is appointed next. The FBI director does have the power to shut down the Russian investigation or, more likely, starve it of resources. If none of this happens and they appoint a proper FBI director rather than someone who is connected to his campaign/support then it was about Comey. If it does get shut down then we hit a serious crisis.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Heard a good idea yesterday. The Democrats should make the approval of a new FBI director contingent on the hiring a special prosecutor to handle the Russia investigation. Someone who doesn't have to answer to Trump or Congress, Republican or Democrat, just take all the politics out of it.

But you're not taking the politics out of it at all, with that as your saying the Democrats should be the ones to do the approval, don't think so, those sour face idiots are not to be trusted, they say one thing, like some of them have been saying prior to the firing, Comey should be fired, now he is fired, they are still whinging.
