Yeah....Trump didn't fire comey.....this other guy did...

[bodecea]

The Deputy AG does not have the power to fire the FBI Director.

That's why he didn't. There was a memo in which the Deputy AG recommended he be fired.

Of course there was.

But which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Somehow, I doubt you would ask that same question of a Democrat President.

But that hasn't happened, has it?

 

[EverCurious]

LOL The senile old orange clown was afraid of what Comey would do. He had a habit of doing his own thing, irregardless of political consequences.

Wrong. Trump acted on the advice of trusted people, as it should be.

Or, Trump decided to fire Comey, and then asked his Deputy AG to give him cover for it.

We'll never know.

Not necessarily. We might find out some day...

Deputy AG was on the verge of resigning after WH pinned Comey firing on him

That's an /astounding lie/ and absolute proof of your medias fake news and fucking lies to you poor sheep. Rosenstein said this in his memorandum to Sessions:

Although the President has the power to remove an FBI director, the decision should not be taken lightly. I agree with the nearly unanimous opinions of former Department officials. The way the Director handled the conclusion of the email investigation was wrong. As a result, the FBI is unlikely to regain public and congressional trust until it has a Director who understand the gravity of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them. Having refused to admit his errors, the Director cannot be expected to implement the necessary corrective actions.

- James Comey fired (last paragraph on the last page)

That or Rosenstein is apparently a fruit loop and needs to be canned...

Bitch about it to Rosenstein. He's the one who is apparently pissed he's being fingered as the scapegoat of Trump's decision to fire Comey.

No, sorry your media in their quest for outrage either a) found some "administrative aid" who has no idea what they're talking about or b) the media made it entirely up, and they ran with it and fooled you dumb asses, despite having seen Rosenstein's letter... oh well probably not, journalists don't actually really read information/documents anymore it's most hearsay with them these days...

Whatever ya'll need to invent to make yourselves feel better. Just don't blame us when this all turns against ya. You've already shown the entire world that the left wing is flooded with hypocrites, thus confirming their long held suspicions.

Checkmate.

"Checkmate"? You mean the game is over? Hardly.

We'll see. He's laid bare your parties underwear from top to bottom. However, you're right, I think there is more "bad" on the left that could be exposed so I'll concede to "check" then.

Other than the official and written words of Rosenstein rather pointedly asking for Comey to be fired, of course.

And yet, the word "fire," appears nowhere in his letter. Though he does state the public had lost confidence in Comey and the decision to remove him was a difficult one a president makes, it's not as "pointed" as you claim. And then Trump, in his ever desire to avoid personal responsibility, blames Rosenstein for firing Comey, as though his hands were tied.

But more to the point, you have zero evidence the news being reported is "fake." You merely saying it doesn't make it so.

 

[Care4all]

Yes, of course out of ALL of the cases the deputy attorney general had to face and get his arms around as the new Deputy Attny General, the first thing he did, on his own, was write a letter to Trump on firing Comey....

Did Sessions, his boss tell him to do that?

Lets go a step further and read what James Comey has to say hmm?

“I have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or no reason at all,” Comey wrote. “I’m not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won’t either,” he urged. “I have said to you before that, in times of turbulence, the American people should see the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and independence,” Comey continued. “What makes leaving the FBI hard is the nature and quality of its people, who together make it that rock for America.”

Hey according to the "administrative source" of the MSM Rosenstein is thinking about resigning because Trump followed his advice...

I'd suggest talking to the MSM and or this "administrative source" about whatever your complaint is. I merely showed you folks the words of the DAG.

 

[Care4all]

Trump just told Lester Holt that it was Trump that chose to fire him and has wanted such for a long time and the deputy AG had nothing to do with his decision....so Trump just contradicted all of his Talking Heads and YOU....his minion repeating the Trump Talking Points you are given each morning!

 

[EverCurious]

Link?

 

[hadit]

Everybody under the sun has their favorite reasons why Comey was fired. Let your bias guide whom you will believe.

I will say this, though. Firing an investigator because he's getting too close is dumb, because the truth will come out.

Well he didn't quite say "it had nothing to do with the recommendations" as you stated, but I guess I'm not surprised - really no one should be surprised. Comey politicized the FBI no matter how you shake it.

Well, yes, he did. Watch the video starting at 2:34. Trump said he was going to fire Comey regardless of the recommendation.
