Comey fired - Page 8 - Politics and Economics

Wasn't there a pre-inauguration rally where Trump pretty much said "Wow, you guys really want me to do this? I just thought it sounded good." re: locking her up?

Ok, not a rally, but this was what I was looking for.

I am troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey’s termination. Am I going to do anything about it? Lol No.

Worth remembering this moment:

Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who said he couldn’t look his daughter in the eye if he votes for Donald Trump, is voting for Trump

Van jones saying on CNN that Democrats will block everything in the Senate (confirmations, legislation) until special prosecutor is appointed. Hoping this is true. Also hoping that doesn't end with GOP nuking the legislative filibuster.

There's nothing in the Constitution that requires that the FBI has a Director

I've spent the last several hours trying to find an acceptable rationale for the timing of Comey's firing. I just can't do it. Will I do anything? Prob not.
