Trump literally said in TV in an interview that he fired Comey because of the “Trump Russia thing” did you not see that?Yes lead investigator was the wrong term, he was director of the FBI and in charge of the investigation. Trump wanted him to squash it and when he refused Trump fired him. That in my opinion was an abuse of his power. If he was firing him for his pre election conduct then he should have done so after he was elected, not after Comey refused to play ball. Also when he tells regular lies to the American people that is an abuse of the power that POTUS possesses.And I see a president and administration that has laid out a series of lies about involvement with Russia. First it was no meetings, then it was meetings about nothing, lie after lie. The firing of Flynn, the recusal of Sessions both for lying, a false story writen by the president to cover up a meeting his son had with a Russian, the firing of the lead investigator because he wouldn’t drop the case. Just take a breath and look at all of that, all of which is true and not even debatable.Again, more speculation and diversion. You are doing the exact same thing that you are critiquing Dems for doing. Hope you see that.
Actually I'm not, I admitted it was my guess, many commiecrats portray their guesses as facts. I can show where Comey laid out a prima facie case for gross negligence against the bitch, I can also show you in congressional testimony where Comey said the bitch used false exculpatory statements, which any decent prosecutor uses to prove intent. Comey didn't even consider them, even after congress sent a referral to DOJ. I could lay out many more facts about the case, which my guesses are based on, but I'm content with waiting on the IG report.

I don’t think there is going to be a smoking gun that showed Trump working with Russia to change the election results. He won and he is our president. I don’t think he committed any crimes that will send him to jail either. But I think he has been grossly dishonest and deceptive with the American people, I think he has abused the power of the office he holds and I think he needs to be held accountable for it. That is the purpose of the investigation in my eyes.
Yes it is being way over politicized by the Left. It is Trumps version of Benghazi or his email server. I don’t agree with the hype and think it’s time to end the investigation. But all this fake news and witch hunt talk is complete BS.
First the director of the FBI supervises investigators, he is not himself an investigator. So to claim he was the lead investigator is disingenuous. His leaving the FBI had no effect on the investigation. Firing Comey for his previous misconduct and his refusal to tell the public what he told the president in private. The president was well within his Article 2 powers to fire Comey and it gave him the opportunity to make public, Comey's previous statements, which Comey confirmed I might add.
Also Sessions reused himself because of his involvement in the campaign, not because he lied about anything. I also disagree with your abuse of power assessment, do you have any examples of this?

Sessions did lie about meetings with the Russians and yes he recused himself from the investigation because of his involvement with the campaign. Thanks for straightening that out.
You claiming Trump wanted to squash the investigation is also disingenuous, he told Comey if any of his satellites had done something wrong he wanted to know about it, I wouldn't call that trying to quash anything. Also Sessions didn't lie about any meetings with Russians, you can't call being in the same room or a casual hello a meeting. He did exclude meetings he had in relation to his senate duties form his clearance forms because he was told to by the FBI, that's not lying either.
