Uh oh, looks like Trump had it in for Comey despite Ruskies

[atlkvb]

I know you conspiracy theorists on the Left think Trump had to ax Comey because he (Comey) was about to drape a noose around Trump's neck over his "collusion" with Russians in the election.

But this reporter says his sources tell him Trump was out to whack Comey well before any Russians had anything to do or say. It's always been about Comey's mishandling of Hillary's e mail server and more recently his bungling over the unmasking of Americans spied on under those FISA warrants.

Trump's been wanting Comey gone apparently since last summer, and it appears as if Rosenstein finally seconded that notion.

Excuse # 3,122 on the firing. Great messaging from this admin. Can't wait for the next one.

Well we know one thing for sure, if the Russians and Trump were working together to defeat Hillary, Comey can certainly drop the hammer on it all now to get back at Trump for canning him.

You think Trump knew that before handing him (Comey) his pink slip?

I don't think being fired allows him to spout classified material. In fact, I think that might be illegal. We should ask one of the board's legal/constitutional scholars.

He can certainly confirm or deny he told Trump 3 times if he was under investigation or not.

Ask Hillary.

Comey apparently thought it was OK for her to mishandle classified material because she had no "illegal intent".

Guess it's all what's in your mind when you violate Federal Law?

I mean, does that really pass the smell test to you? Seriously?

What in the world? lol. Man I did not miss you circular argument/changing topic style. I'm going to be one of them dern hit and run leftists. Good luck!!

Well Coop, you set the standard with this spineless post:

"I don't think being fired allows him to spout classified material. In fact, I think that might be illegal. We should ask one of the board's legal/constitutional scholars".

Really Coop?

After I stopped laughing at you I had to remember you're still a Mountaineer so there is some modicum of hope left for you I guess?

I can't think of any other reason he'd put that in there. Only to put Comey on the spot afterwards.

 

[WVUCOOPER]

I can't think of any other reason he'd put that in there. Only to put Comey on the spot afterwards.

You can't think of any other reason that childish buffoon would put that in there? Former AG Alberto Gonzalez doesn't buy it:

“Including it in that letter seemed totally inappropriate,” Alberto R. Gonzales, Bush’s former lawyer, told CNN on Wednesday.

Gonzales also suggested that he has some doubt as to substance of the president’s claim. He said it would be inappropriate if Comey did in fact offer Trump assurance that he was not part of the FBI’s investigation of both Russian meddling in the 2016 election to undercut Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and possible complicity by the Trump campaign. Similarly, Gonzales said it would be inappropriate if Trump had asked for such assurance.

Comey "sources" called it 'literally farcical' https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-the-fbi-reels-candidates-emerge-to-succeed-james-comey-1494459279

I've heard 'smell test' 1,009 times by the liberal media in the last 30 hrs. Say 'Nixonian.' You know you want to. The investigation(s) are continuing and will proceed without your new hero, COMEdY.

Sounds like you watch too much cable news. Might wanna try and spice up your life some.

Comey is no hero of mine. I've posted several times that I'm OK with his firing, especially after another public f*ck up last week.

Then why are you bitching so much? The FBI is much better without him. Why the wailing and moaning that he is gone? And don't give me the "timing" BS. Regardless of when he was fired, you and your liberal buddies would be singing the same tune.

Where have I bitched? I'm laughing at the execution, but I haven't bitched.

Trump shoots from the cuff and tries to work it out as he goes along. Worst politician ever.

That's what I personally find refreshingly honest. We just aren't used to it. I was dubious whether he was truly an outsider. He has demonstrated that he doesn't fully understand the inner workings of Washington yet. I'm fine with that. That is why he WON the election and why he was the only option for my vote. I hope he does well. Gary Johnson is still trying to figure out where Moab, Afghanistan is on a map.

You think it's refreshing to have a president who doesn't know how Washington works? Seriously?

 

[TarHeelEer]

I'm fine with that..

I'm not. We don't do that with our small team in a private company, let alone a multi-millionaire CEO, and now president of the US. It makes whomever look like fools.

Exactly. It makes us all look like fools and puts the credibility of our leadership into question every time serious **** goes down.

He obviously knows some things. He's made fortunes by paying your precious politicians. Again, it's the outsider/anti-establishment angle that got him elected.

I respect your opinion, but when a multi-millionaire CEO fires someone, if it makes the news it goes something like this: "So'nSo fired So'nSo today. Stating Such'nSuch as the reason(s)." Our MSM is overblowing every single move this administration makes, except for the good moves that have bolstered our economy and safety. They paint us as stupid, but the paint is getting thinner and hopefully soon won't have any color at all.

True dat!

Any reporting at all on this? Trump is now ready to sign it after promising to get it passed.

Any news of it anywhere in the MSM?

Nope. Crickets.

The type of thing you linked is happening almost daily. Crickets. The way we've treated many of our Vets isn't exactly a glowing example of Government Healthcare. Thankfully our Vets can now cross the street to get the care they need if necessary. I think I saw an Order to that affect, a real story vs Nazis from Mars.

It isn't on the MSM radar because most Vets are Republicans or at least the vast majority of them vote that way.

Plus they shoot guns and to the Left that is almost as bad as being a "climate denier".

I think his intention was to alleviate concerns Comey was being fired because of Trump being investigated. He wanted that in there on official record to say "you aren't being fired because you are getting too close. You are being fired because you suck at life"

I don't. I think he through it in there because he's a child. That line was hysterical.

Agree to disagree. The more coming out the more it aligns with Trump's statement though.
