not shocking, it's time for a fresh start

just like all people in such a position, the director as to be independent in both fact and appearance, lest their integrity and judgement will always be questioned

I don't think Comey can meet those standards at this point, although it may very well be not his fault

have to believe that this isn't good for Hilary.. Most agents in the FBI believe that Hilary should be prosecuted for her crimes.. New Director might pick that torch up... draining the swamp ! Love it ! Winning again....

Do you REALLY think that there is anything to the Russia / Trump speculation, 919? Really?

I mean a serious offense or any offense at all by Trump? Really?

If you do you'll lose all credibility with me.

By Trump personally? I have no idea. But there sure is a shitload of smoke regarding many close to him. Won't know without a full investigation. I'm not concerned with perceived credibility on a message board, though I've always been honest.

The FBI Director serves a ten-year term precisely in order to insulate against the whims of a President who does not like what—or whom—the FBI is investigating. While the President has legal authority to fire an FBI director, the fact that Trump has done so under circumstances of an active FBI investigation of the President’s own campaign violates profoundly important norms of an independent, non-political FBI. The situation has no parallel with the only previous FBI director to be removed by a president: President Clinton’s firing of William Sessions, whose ethical misconduct was so extensive that it resulted in a six-month Justice Department investigation an a blistering 161-page report detailing his illicit activities, including flagrant misuse of public funds. Trump’s firing Comey at a time when Comey is investigating Russian intervention in the election on Trump’s behalf and the specific conduct of a number of people close to Trump undermines the credibility of his own presidency. And it deeply threatens the integrity of and public confidence in ongoing law enforcement and intelligence operations.

Trump’s clumsy attempt to deny that his own conduct is at issue in the FBI’s inquiry is foolish. Comey testified just the other day that the FBI is “conducting an investigation to understand whether there was any coordination between the Russian efforts and anybody associated with the Trump campaign.” Splitting hairs over whether this does or does not mean that Trump is “under investigation” cannot obscure the fact that Trump just fired someone who is leading an investigation that deals with whether his aides, campaign, and White House staff had improper dealings with adversary foreign intelligence service.
