Comey fired - Page 6 - Politics and Economics

The sad truth is the Senate Intelligence Committee is the best investigation left into Trump-Russia. Yeah, the same committee that spent half a hearing yelling about Hillary's emails and getting curbstomped in Constitutional Law by Sally Yates.

Yates testified before the Judiciary Committee, not Intelligence. Not that it matters.

What percentage of news outlets paint Comey as a hero of the people tonight and tomorrow, undeserving of ouster by the tyrant?

Bonus points: Of those, what percentage were calling for his immediate removal back in November 2016 due to being literally Hitler?

Cite someone calling comey hitler, dolt.

Sessions gave political cover to Comey at the time. He said he had to make the announcements

Actually, the last President to fire an FBI Director was subsequently impeached.

so.... Jeffrey Lord is not on CNN because:

A. Even CNN has some sense of shame.
B. He's being vetted.

Trump supporters I know claiming the timing isn't suspicious at all because Trump has been under investigation for more than a year.

One of the problems with living in a bubble of extremely stupid people telling each other that they are smart is that the White House got high on the same double standard argument and Inso and awval made

What did we learn in the last 2 days that would freak Trump out?

Flynn/Yates stuff
FBI probably has direct evidence of collusion
Trump financials (taxes?) under investigation
2 grand juries open

What else?
