Comey deserved to be fired.

[Ray9]

The people of the US have deep respect for the rank and file of the FBI. They are brave and dedicated and put their lives on the line often under a hail of bullets. Anyone who has ever worked at a corporation or firm under bad leadership knows what the foot soldiers of the FBI must be feeling after the embarrassing performance of former FBI director James Comey during the Senate intelligence committee hearings on whether the president tried to shut down an investigation.


Comey, who is 6’8, could have been wearing a Girl Scout uniform as he sat before the committee playing the intimidated victim of an arrogant boss like a blubbering female employee who didn’t get a raise. Comey was the head of the FBI. He was so bashful and delicate that he couldn’t deal with the president one-on-one? Comey’s account of the encounter raises the specter of a babe lost in the woods shaking like a leaf on seeing the big, bad wolf. Well, it’s not hard to figure out why he was fired.


Comey was apparently so traumatized by his conversation with president that he found it necessary to go to a third party and recruit him to leak sensitive information to the press. So in essence, comey’s behavior validated the actions of Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning, Julian Assange and even Bowe Bergdahl. The rank and file must be very proud of their former boss.


This country is deep, deep trouble when the top man in the FBI is such a feminized loose cannon that he sacrifices the national security of the nation for blatantly political reasons. Every coward in the country must have stood up and delivered a cheer as Comey plunged his knife into the back of the man the people elected to lead this nation.


It might time for people in this country to wake up and take notice of just how far we have drifted from reality. This nation will never get back on track with inept hacks like Comey in positions of leadership. We need to give thanks that the president had the wisdom and the guts to send this guy packing.


Why would anyone in their right mind support attacking our president when the real wicked in our society like Hillary Clinton get off scot free?

Good riddance to bad rubbish

Being an attorney he probably wanted to think before he spoke and was astounded, remember he said he thought more people would be there, and also he was trying to be respectful for the position that DT is in.
Also I think, with only 3.5 years as FBI director and the election fiasco and after working for Obama he was stunned by this attempt to stop the investigation, and also Sessions should of known better than for the POTUS to be alone with Comey, Sessions needs to be questioned under oath on this , he knew before hand what DT was going to ask Comey. Comey was set up.

Comey saw he was getting railroaded by Trump and stood his ground

Poor President Snowflake whining because Comey reported what was said

No FAIR!....Leaker....Leaker

 

[Penelope]

Unlike Trump he does not blabber.

 

[iceberg]

Good riddance to bad rubbish

i honestly think so far comey is a good guy. i can't think of anyone in that situation who would have made both sides happy. that said, i also think this was a horrible job for him. he couldn't stand up to either president / DOJ when / if they were doing something wrong.

that would be a huge part of his job he failed at. good people can fail, and in this case, that's how i see it so far.

Where was the attempt to stop the investigation?

Comey played Trump

Once Trump fired him and Comey heard all the crap Trump was throwing on him including lies about "losing the faith in the FBI", Comey played his hand

Trump opened the door to a special prosecutor once he fired Comey
Comey sealed the deal by releasing his notes

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Trump should have fired him immediately after he was sworn in. Comey was just another part of the sewer. His testimony only confirmed it.

Comey, the leaker. That is what the democrat party amounts to these days. Not that they were ever any better.

 

[Freewill]

And what was the most damning statement by Comey concerning the actual subject of the Russian investigation? IMO it was that Trump asked Comey if he could lift the cloud off of Flynn, who was a good guy. WTF? That can mean a lot of things but it certainly isn't a direct order. It could mean, wrap up the investigation as soon as possible, don't drag it out, like Comey was doing. I don't see a direct order in what Trump said.

Time to stop the BS and let the administration get back to doing the will of the people who elected them.

 

[Ray9]

Before we all get invitations to a special forgiveness pity party for Comey we need to consider that his duties and responsibilities include leading one of the toughest investigative organizations on the planet. His kid-glove treatment of Hillary Clinton belies a corrupt political connection to his questionable leadership. He is desperate in his exposure and his desperation is evident in his attempts to project his mistakes onto the president. Like a lot of privileged aristocrats he is trying to salvage his legacy. It won't work. He will go down in history as an incompetent leader who humiliated the FBI in the eyes of the world.

What crime did Comey commit?

Comey knows the rules and played by them. Trump was playing political hardball and threw Comey under the bus
Comey just paid him back

How about Comeys "kid glove treatment" of Trump in not revealing during the election that Trumps team was under investigation for its ties to Russia?
He had no problem throwing Hillary under the bus ten days before the election.......why did he hide the fact that it was Trump who was under FBI investigation?

Were it not you and the left screaming that Comey violated the Hatch Act during the run up to the election? Did not Reed stand in Congress and say that Comey influenced the election illegally?

Now you and the left have shifted the influence accusation from Comey to some unknown Russians. Who next?

Maybe the "who next" will be Hillary? Doubtful.
