Breaking: 30 sources state Trump anger over Russia probe led to Comey firing

[Lakhota]

Accounts from more than 30 officials at the White House, Justice Department and on Capitol Hill indicate that the president was angry that James Comey would not support his baseless claim that President Obama had his campaign offices wiretapped. He was frustrated when Comey revealed in Senate testimony the breadth of the counterintelligence investigation into Russia’s effort to sway the 2016 U.S. presidential election. And he fumed that Comey was giving too much attention to the Russia probe and not enough to investigating leaks to journalists.

The Kim Jong Un syndrome. The dear leader gets angry because some guy falls asleep at some meeting Un held and he is executed with a 20mm anti-aircraft gun. Drumpf is rolling down the slippery slope like a fat little butterball turkey still in it's plastic-wrap.

This has nothing to do with being for or against Comey, you fucking idiot. It's about why Trump fired Comey and when. Grow up, idiot.

 

[ScienceRocks]

This is what I thought when I heard the fucking news about the firing.

Trump is such a crook.

Apparently Rosenstein is pretty pissed at being made the fall guy. He's threatening to resign over it.

Rosenstein's name is being mentioned a lot.

The Justice Department's newly appointed deputy attorney general earned praise from Democrats during confirmation hearings earlier this year before getting overwhelming approval, 94-6, in the Senate.

At no point in those hearings was Rosenstein asked whether he felt that Comey was up to the task of leading the FBI throughout multiple, highly politicized investigations. Democrats did press him, repeatedly, to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of Russian influence on the U.S. presidential election and alleged collusion with the Trump campaign.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for example, said that Rosenstein has “impressive credentials” and she does not question his “integrity.” But she said: “We need steel spines and there is a real danger the Justice Department could become politicized.”

So it came as a surprise to some when his letter explaining his decision regarding Comey pointed at the former FBI director’s questionable handling of the Clinton probe.

“I cannot defend the director's handling of the conclusion of the investigation of Secretary Clinton's emails,” Rosenstein wrote, “and I do not understand his refusal to accept the nearly universal judgment that he was mistaken. Almost everyone agrees that the director made serious mistakes..

Interviews with former colleagues and attorneys who know Rosenstein professionally all say he is a prosecutor who is working to defend the integrity and the independence of the Justice Department.
Rod Rosenstein, man behind Comey’s firing, is highly respected on Capitol Hill

So it may be that Trump used Rosenstein as his scapegoat to fire Comey without Rosenstein being aware of that. Rosenstein clearly believed that Comey was in the wrong with the way he handled the email investigation.

Actually, the dems are relegating themselves to wandering in the desert with their seething hate. It's beautiful to watch.
