Forums - Politics Discussion - Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

SpokenTruth said:
You know that meeting that Trump had today at the White House with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov?

Oh, you didn't? Perhaps that's because the US press was banned from the meeting. BUT Russian media was allowed in.

Are you pissed off yet?

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Let's just say for the sake of a thought experience that this is an honest firing with no implications, allusions to collusion, etc...I cannot fathom a more poorly handled and suspiciously timed moment to take this action.

Trump loves using the word 'disaster' and that is precisely what this is. An unmitigated, abject disaster.

You just have to love this part.  Comey ask the Justice department for more resources to investigate the Russian interference to Rod J Rosenstein and the same person then ask the president to fire him.  It just keeps getting better and better.

Mr. Comey asked for the resources last week from Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, who also wrote the Justice Department’s memo that was used to justify the firing of Mr. Comey this week, the officials said.

If this doesn't look like obstruction of Justice then nothing does.  Even as you state if Trump is actually totally innocent, his actions and timing make him look so bad it cannot even be questioned by his most staunched supporters.  I am calling it, we will bomb someone or some huge deflection will come within weeks to turn the heat off Trump and this firing.

Fox News is spinning it... apparently they cant see what everyone else does.

Isn't that already happening?

The White House told the press they fired Comey before actually telling Comey.

Comey found out while in a meeting in LA. The news flash on the TV in the room and he thought it was a practical joke until he was pull aside into another room and informed of the action by Trump.

That's just pathetic and weak.

I know he could have at least tweeted it first.

Well shit, they fired the man investigating themselves and can't figure out why people suspect they're in Putin's pocket.



Suddenly its a big deal, because of RUSSIA! RUSSIA! PUTIN SAID SO! TRUMP IS CONTROLLED!!! #ORANGEMANISCONTROLLED

The Hillary supporters wanted this fucker fired for "losing" her the election; but now that Trump has done it, suddenly its RUSSIA! RUSSIA!! RUSSA!!

 

Even though no proof has shown Trump colaberated with the Russians... 

 

ITS STILL THE RUSSIANS!

 

He was incompetent, we can all agree on that.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

There's no proof because he just fired the guy leading the investigation in whether he collaborated with the Russians. How can it be that hard to see? Now I'm not saying there could have been, or will be, any proof, or that he did collaborate with Russia, but if he did, this sure is a good move to hide it. He's brought this on himself, collaboration with Russia or not.

His days were numbered either way, especially with how he handled the email thing. And investigations have already been put into Russian collaboration since the election - nothing has shown a direct connection with Trump so far. Its been 7 months, yet nothing has come up. Its a story that the leftist media has been dragging on because they want to find something to destroy his presidency, but the simple fact is that the Russian's did not "rig" the election...

Oh, so they're investigating nothing, just to make it look bad for Trump, after basically giving Trump the election victory? Investigations can take a lot of time, especially when there's powerful people involved. This isn't a routine investigation. Also, it'd be foolish to think Russia had nothing to do with the election for sure. Maybe it didn't, or maybe the effect was quite small, but I doubt you have access to the information necessary to make any kind of conclusions about the situation. Neither do I, but I'm not claiming anything to be certain about the situation.
