Five Reasons the Comey Affair Is Worse Than Watergate

(Anyone here remember these folks?)

And then it gives dissertations on:

The underlying Offense

The blatancy of the interference

The nature of the president (time to compare Nixon with Trump)

The resiliency of the fabric of American institutions

The craveness of party leaders

If you want to read the blatant ultra-leftist claims about all of this, go to Five Reasons Why the Comey Affair Is Worse Than Watergate

More and more reporting is suggesting that Trump fired Comey because of the Russia investigation
A source close to Comey told CNN the FBI head was fired because the investigation was “accelerating.”

More and more reporting is suggesting that Trump fired Comey because of the Russia investigation

On Wednesday, a new report from CNN’s Jake Tapper quoted a “source close to Comey” claiming that Comey was fired for two reasons — first, because he refused to provide Trump “with any assurance of personal loyalty,” and second, because the FBI’s Russia investigation was not going away and instead “was accelerating.”


Tuesday night, Politico’s Josh Dawsey reported that, per his sources, the decision to oust Comey came from the president and not the Justice Department. For more than a week, Dawsey writes, Trump “weighed firing” Comey because, according to two advisers, “he had grown enraged by the Russia investigation” — not the Clinton email case. He continues:


[Trump] repeatedly asked aides why the Russia investigation wouldn’t disappear and demanded they speak out for him. He would sometimes scream at television clips about the probe, one adviser said...

...[A White House] spokesman said Trump did not ask for the [Justice Department] letters in advance, and that White House officials had no idea they were coming. But several other people familiar with the events said Trump had talked about the firing for more than a week, and the letters were written to give him a rationale for firing Comey.

Comey does serve at the pleasure of the president. As Archibald Cox served as well, however there is law behind this. If you fire the FBI director INVOLVED in investigating you, you are commiting a crime. You will be held accountable as Nixon eventually was. He should have fired him immediately. Firing him now and stating he did so to conclude the "fake" Russian investigation is obstruction of justice and interfering in an FBI investigation. The president is not above the LAW. We shall watch how it all plays out.

Trump praised Comey in October, fired him Tuesday. Explanations don’t add up

Come on, are you kidding me? This scatterbrain changes his mind from minute to minute.

Simultaneously, one person in his admin is telling a head of state one thing, while the orange buffoon is saying something completely different with regard to the same exact issue. And then that changes a few more times.

This admin is one giant clusterfuck, headed by a complete idiot.

LOL- longie takes time out to wig out about how to defend Trump's firing of Comey.

Which of Trump's stories do you think are the reason that Trump fired Comey?

Most Republicans still believe his original story- even though Trump has since said that he fired Comey because of the Russian investigation.
