Basically, Trump fired the FBI director who is leading an investigation into Trump's ties with Russia, right after Comey reportedly asked for more funds for the investigation. The White House explained this action by saying that Trump fired him based on the advice of Jeff Sessions (who had to previously recuse himself of any dealings with the Russia investigation because he lied under oath about not meeting with Russian officials), and Rosenstein, with the reasoning that Comey was too mean to Hillary in 2016 in how he handled the case with her emails. Something both Trump and Sessions praised Comey for multiple times. |
Sorry, but my "left leading CNN viewing" points were trying to say that but obviously not as well. :)
What basically happened yesterday was the hand was just used as a significant source of "credibility" to fire the arm(Comey, head of FBI).
Then the fingers(Vice pres, various secretaries, press secretaries) got involved and all said the same thing which was that the hand and the thumb(Jeff Sessions(Attourney General)who's under investigation of the same investigation that people increasingly closer and closer to the (shoulder)president Trump and the assistant attourney general(Rod Rosenstein) had the "right" to fire the arm even though the arm was in charge of an EXTREMELY serious investigation to the AG(Sessions) AND the Shoulder(Trump).
THEN the Shoulder(Trump) said he fired the Arm(Comey) on his own(completely going against and making all the fingers BIG.FAT.LIARS).
What this amounts to? Trump owns the Attourney General's office with Sessions and Rosenstein(Obviously). Sessions should have absolutely no right to even discuss Comey as he's part of a serious FBI investigation. I
think Trump finally (or someone less senile)realized how absolutely dumb that would sound if he said that Sessions fired the guy investigating him but the memo went out to all the mouth pieces(Vice President, press secretaries etc etc) late so they all told the truth about Sessions and Rosenthal being used to fire Comey.
Trump, being the mans man he thinks he is then changed the story to him hating Comey since day one which was a LIE unless his previous comments of his respect and liking Comey were lies.
Sorry I know this is all convoluted but what happened(beside Trump lying after the fact) is that a guy was sort of fired by people who had no right to fire him(Sessions shouldn't even be within a country mile of this and Rosenthal being in a position of being too weak of an opinion to use).
Since Trumps two sources of "advice" were weak or tainted, one of Trumps deep thinkers said (too late) "Uhhh, Donald, you umm can't use Sessions(tainted)and Rosenthal(like using the fry guy at mcdonald's opinion to fire the general manager). You need to come out, say you're like like...ummm...The Duke...yes you're like John Wayne and went all cowboy on this decision to dump Comey DESPITE all the kiss kiss hug hug lovya you've done since before you were even the president or you're going to look corrupt!
People need to remember something. Comey doesn't actually investigate anything. All he did was LEAD the FBI in an administrative role. The information he passed to congress was generated bu the MASSIVE number of investigators under him.
That said, it is EXTREMLY improper for there to be Russia stamped all over this and the director is canned for what amounts to something that got Trump his job.(the 10 day "we're back to investigating her" bullshit.
For the love of god, just look at how every single underling of Trump gave the same story which was COMPLETELY different than his. Either his whole party is lying or he is. Sorry but I'm going with the past. The President of the United States just lied about him being the one to decide Comey's fate.
