"You're fired."

 

 

 

 

 

But let's be real.. Hillary would have done this too, and a hell of a lot faster.

I'll bet Hillary wished President Obama had done this about gen months ago.

There is more than one AG?  Since there isn't much to the whole Russian/Trump collusion story, then I am not too worried.  Besides, there are a lot of people in the FBI.

Not really. Trump only wants supporters in his camp

And if Obama knew this was coming he'd have fired Comey himself.

Indeed. And it looks like the trash has been taken out.

 

Why would any President want someone in his cabinet whose objectives are to disrupt the Presidents agenda?

 

Makes no sense whatsoever. The prior President took the trash out as well. This isn't news, except for those who have the (convenient) memory of a goldfish.

 

If there's an issue with Trump's connections pertaining to his Constitutional duties, Congress can easily lay down an investigation, and to my knowledge, I believe they already are. Doubt anything of use is going to come of it.

Course he does, he just fired Comey for the same behavior he praised and backed him for right before the election. This stinks, this has nothing to do with getting his own people in.

Fill us in.

[JimandChristy 1,689]

Only once in the entire history of this country has a President fired a lead investigator in investigating him....October 1973 you know what happened.
