The firing of FBI Director James Comey - What is each side saying?

Featured Replies

During the campaign Trump praised Comey because Comey went on National TV twice and told everyone Clinton committed a bunch of felonies. Of course Trump is going to praise him. Fast forward, now that Trump is President he has unique insight to the process, among other things, and I don't see an issue with President Trump changing course.

 

And to be clear, I am not saying what President Trump did is foolish, I am saying it would be foolish of him to lie about Comey telling him three times he wasn't under investigation if it wasn't in fact the truth.

 

Was it foolish for Trump to say he was firing Comey based on a recommendation from the Assistant Attorney General, and then that same AG stated that was not the case? He merely stated reasons for firing Comey but that he did not recommend one way or another

 

Is it foolish to quote that Schumer recently stated he wanted Comey fired when in fact it was 6 months ago prior to the election? So when Schumer cries that he did not say that Trump takes to the tweets and states: Cryin' Chuck Schumer stated recently, "I do not have confidence in him (James Comey) any longer." Then acts so indignant. #draintheswamp

 

It's just all too bizarre for me to see the President of the United States get in twitter wars and make so many statements that are later proven to not be accurate. :no:

I see, kitchen sink approach.

I think you are taking it out of context.

 

Could see where maybe inserting the word "help" in my first post to read, "will help put an end" would've been helpful, otherwise I see nothing out of context about that from the quote.

I would refer you back to the press conference today. Watch that and then you will see you are taking it out of context.

We'll have to agree to disagree, per usual.

Did you watch presser or are you just running straight to "agree to disagree?"

I see, kitchen sink approach.

 

I'm a little confused.

 

My point maybe was not clear.

 

I think the President has a major problem with not getting his way. So he takes it out on those he can. If anything, the greatest blame to me lies in his advisors. They seem in over their heads.

 

He's still better than HRC in my opinion but to think this was the best the nation has to offer makes me shudder greatly.

I think it is foolish for Schumer to "threaten" President Trump with the CIA. Rand Paul just talked about this in a live interview.

 

Please show me where the Assistant Director of the Justice Department is on the record saying that? I missed it. What I did see was left leaning media reports on the Assistant Director which have since been countered by the White House.

 

Your opening point about President Trump not getting his way is vague.

 

Of course he is better than HRC, HRC should be in Prison.

I don't know if it's foolish or just bravado.

 

But like someone on here posted earlier, let's look at the way this has played out. His own story of this action has changed from the beginning.

 

Fact check: Trump's 'nothing to see here' spin on Comey firing

 

Donald Trump’s Story About Why He Fired FBI Director James Comey Is Already Falling Apart | HuffPost

 

The timeline of the last year is so out of sorts. Trump praised Comey during the campaign when the investigation was about Hillary's emails. Now he turns vs him when the investigation is about a few who were or have been staff members.

 

And Schumer and the rest of the Dems called for Comey's head, now he's the guy being picked on and their golden boy.

 

Give me a break. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

"We want this to come to its conclusion, we want it to come to its conclusion with integrity," said deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders, referring to the FBI's probe into Moscow's interference in last year's election. "And we think that we've actually, by removing Director Comey, taken steps to make that happen."

 

That statement in no way says they hope it ends now with Comey's firing. Not at all.

 

It is saying it can be conducted with integrity now that Comey is gone.

Just because a report sources something that can be construed as unflattering to the President does not mean that it is left-leaning.

When you watch a bunch of news and only the left leaning ones harp on that point, with no proof that I am aware of, it does appear partisan.

That is dated March 24, 2017. I'm going by what was said May 11, 2017.

 

Ever heard of an "ongoing" investigation?

 

I would hope they would neither confirm nor deny classified investigations.

 

But please, think the worst of President Trump. It is the Left's mantra. The Left as been in such shock since Hillary lost that they have been throwing their tantrums and done everything possible to smear President Trump. It is disgusting. Why don't they just shut up and let the investigations run their course? This is how we were lectured on investigations into Obama's administration. The Left is the most "Do as I say, not as I do" bunch I have ever seen.
