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

[debbiedowner]

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.

It was said this morning Trump told Rosenstein to write that letter and he has considered resigning since Monday. Hope he does.

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.

who cares, he can. It's what one gets to do when one wins the election. need some crackers for your whine? To be honest, not sure why you're whining. you all wanted Comey fired in November. What happened? And please do not mention Russia anything. We all know that didn't happen. we see the smoke and mirrors.

Bernie Sanders, Pelosi, and the Hillary camp: Fire Comey!

Trump fires comey and the left wing:

"Why'd you fire comey????"

Apparently you are unaware of the context of time.

Trump was also a Democrat, why do you support him if you don't like Democrats?

Gosh it is tiring seeing this over and over again when it wasn't about firing Comey...It was about how it was carried out and who they blamed ...It is so very obvious why he was fired but people are so brainwashed they can not see it..

I certainly don't care why or when. why should you? what difference does it make to you or the country? if he was incompetent, he was incompetent. Bammmm gone. see you later! I'll wait for your response. And again, well within the president's constitutional rights as his boss.

They are still hanging on to his promises ha ha ha and just not intelligent enough to understand the gravity of what is going on in the WH at the moment and may never understand. It is not just Comey it's the shebang and how fucked up the trump WH is, It's really ashamed that they call themselves patriots, Americans, make America great again. The make America great again thing is about war mongering and nothing else. They can tell themselves anything they want to justify their stance but this is what it boils down to.

You certainly thought he was competent when he was going after Clinton a week before the election..

Comey just asked for more money/people to investigate the Russian involvement from Rod Rosenstein ( newly appointed director ) ... Who was asked by Trump to write a letter of recommendation to fire Comey...

Mr. Rosenstein is outraged by Trump using him and is considering resigning...

Rosenstein was upset when he started to be painted as the person whose recommendation President Trump acted on when choosing to relieve Comey of his duties

Rod Rosenstein reportedly threatened to resign after Comey firing

Trump is a lying snake...it took me a while to see it ( I liked him last summer ) ...

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.

More: President was said to be frustrated by the FBI director’s focus on Russia and lack of attention to leaks

"The President was said..." LOL! Rachel huh? That proves it.

what difference does time make? was he competent or not? did your side say that or not? Don't be a person that turns in ones dignity to fall in line with these libturds. aren't you better than that?

 

[Mr.Blonde]

Comey was an incompetent political hack. Any "investigation into Trump's Russia ties" will continue.

I could see Trump firing him for the Russia investigation. After 10 months they haven't uncovered a single small thing while there are actual crimes going on that Comey seems to have literally zero interest in.

lol What Russia probe? So far not a single fact has emerged from three Congressional investigations or, according to James Clapper, from and of the other investigations by the FBI or the intelligence services to suggest there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, so just what are they investigating?

A reporter interviewing a reporter? Fascinating. "News" people making the news.

I notice not one of those 30 officials is named in your link.

In fact, the article takes great pains to mention ALL of their sources are anonymous.

Don't get too far over your skis.
