knapplc Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 And this gem from the Russians. Even their ambassador can't believe Trump fired Comey. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Sad to see a public servant like Comey take a fall (regardless of my opinion of his performance), but I'm grateful that this may actually get things rolling a bit more quickly toward investigations on our POTUS and his intentions and abilities to lead.

RedDenver Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 One question I have... is if it was so shocking when Nixon did this, why didn't they change who was able to fire the FBI director? Nixon didn't fire the FBI director but rather his attempts to get the AG and assistant AG to fire the special investigator appointed to investigate Watergate: The Saturday Night Massacre refers to U.S. President Richard Nixon's orders to fire independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, which led to the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus on October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal.

Enhance Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 A succinct analysis of the situation. Pretty difficult to wrap my mind around - either way, it looks bad for the president. This feels a lot like watching a game of Jenga, waiting to see which piece gets pulled out and causes the whole thing to topple over. Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 In this situation, the Dems are being somewhat disingenuous with their outrage. They were very upset with him with the Clinton email fiasco. If he were fired back then, they would have fully supported it. Now, they act like they loved him all along. Link to comment

They act like they prefer him to FBI Director Rudy Giuliani. Link to comment

Then they should have been careful of what they wished for because several Dem's came out publicly and said they didn't think he should be the director anymore. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 No they don't. They act like they expect the FBI director to act within the rules of the agency and the laws of this nation without partisanship. You can be upset with someone and still disagree with them being fired. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 This entire situation was so difficult to deal with for WH staff it quite literally had his press secretary hiding in the WH bushes. Link to comment
