She is 10 times the man Donny is.

Hillary is as crooked as they come, smart enough and well connected to to get away with anything, that's right.
Trump is following in her program steps, but I don't think it's because she has bigger balls, I think Trump turned out to be a (oops, had to edit this word out).

Personally, I do not a have a problem with this particular decision. I see why many people would, but I do not.

The letter, on the other hand, gives a certain vibe like it was written by a paranoid or, like mentioned earlier, narcissistic person and definitely not a president of the United States. Also, why would a director of the FBI inform the alleged subject of the investigation whether there is an ongoing investigation against him? Three times for that matter. Although, knowing Mr. Trump's history, I bet it did not happen.

As for the appointments, he appointed, in my opinion, quite a few people that are not capable of doing the job and some that are not even close to being qualified to be appointed. On the other hand, who cares? At this point, it is just an entertainment to me personally. Doubt the reds will still hold the house and the senate comes next year's elections anyways.

Remember where you are. The only acceptable conspiracies are against the lefties.

Imagine the amount of american taxpayers' money being wasted on all these investigations that everyone knows to be "empty" to begin with. Hillary's emails, Trump's Russian ties... How many before that? All that money and time wasted by those elected to work for the people could definitely be used to do better things. Prime example as to why any two-party system is not the best, to say the least.

Yep, the letter looks like he wrote it drunk. With all of their history together in the second paragraph it looks like a drunken letter to his ex who heart his feelings.

She is no angel, but not nearly as bad as portrayed by the likes of Breitbart or Alex Jones. She actually has a social conscience as to which if you know anything about her you cant deny. Tirades against their foundation as being so corrupt is nothing but misinformed. The Clinton Foundation helps a s ton of people.

We will have to agree to disagree on Hillary's presumed virtues.
She is a dead ringer for Putin in her honesty and moral values to me. The most dangerous part is that she was not even hiding it anymore. Must have been the result of PTSD after the sniper encounter of hers.

Only 10% of the money they raised for the Haiti earthquake victims went to Haitians

You watch Alix Jones?
As soon as you mention that name your credibility went to ZERO.
I'm more interested in the fact how people being investigated by the FBI for mishandling classified documents in a manner that has been proven to be against the law of the United States of America can still run for president.

c'mon oki - trying to change the facts is just plain childish.

NO, the investigation was already closed. The he reopened it again. Then just days before the election he said "oops, nothing changed from before. Closing it". But he brought the whole issue back up into the public arena. For apparently no reason.

I just like the Fool the Americans have put into the Whitehouse, oops he never seems to be their, likes his estate in Florida. When their is nothing to watch on all the crappy TV channels at least we have the gong show entertainment to watch in US.

Makes no sense.
It's like saying if the CEO of Ford Motors fired the General Manager of the F150 plant that Ford would have to stop making the F150.

I mean a dictator like one who is only accountable to himself or full of himself. One like Putin, Duterte and Un. I think that left un checked Trump could become like Hitler. No one seems to hold Trump accountable for anything.

It's "there" in both statements

I find it funny listening to people talking about Trump. Left Hates him blindly, the right loves him blindly. It was the same with Obama. I wonder when people will realize they are simply being manipulated by both sides.

[Unregistered user]

Comey may have asked to be fired so he wouldn't die from "Apparent suicide."

The Attorney General of the United States? Is he not the one and the same who recused himself from the Russia Investigation and also recused himelf from the Hillary email thing?

Must have un recused himself?

I will bet that he or his assistant will have a say who continues with investigation.

Maybe Steve Bannon or Jared Kushner?

You may be on to something, except I think I hate both sides and the fools who let the once great USA fall so low.

Your analogy is way off. It's more like if Jean Chretien had fired Auditor General Sheila Fraser when she started looking into the Liberal sponsorship scandal. Wouldn't we all have howled at that?

Or Nixon firing the independent counsel in the Watergate investigation.

No doubt extreme partisanship blinds reason. Regarding the Comey situation, no doubt he should have been fired, but Trump's timing is real bad and smells like muzzling. Only way to re-establish confidence is an independent investigation in to the Russia stuff.

[EZM]

This letter was obviously something Trump wrote on his own - proving, once again, he's lacks the basic intellectual capacity required for anyone we entrust into a role that important. In fact, he is so far over his head, I don't think he is even approaching a level of "average intellect". I bet he's a few points above a clinical diagnosis of mental incapacity. Gawd ..... it's not even funny anymore.

In this letter he totally implicates himself. A smart monkey, taught to write with a crayon wouldn't be that stupid. I had to laugh when I saw it. EPIC.

His Paranoia, delusion and egocentric impulses can't be controlled. Perfect that he's in charge of the world's greatest superpower and making all the calls on his own.

I agree - Comey was an idiot, but to fire him in the middle of an investigation was stupid. Normally this should be a giant red flag to us all - but then again, nothing sticks to Trump.

The blind will support him no matter how freaking obviously he is in over his head, how corrupt he proves to be and how many times he continues to spout lie after lie after lie.

The guy is embarrassing. He humiliates any intelligent American Conservative who is or was in support of him.

Regarding Draining the swamp? LOL. Have a look at his group of Multi Millionaire Advisors (all with special interests) and try and look intelligent arguing this point. The only thing he drained was my brain cells - I think I just get stupider as I look at him. Being around him makes us all stupider.

The longer this circus goes, more and more people are beginning to realize the scam they all bought. The smart ones will get off the bus soon enough. The rest will crash and burn with him.

The investigation will continue but not at the snails pace that is was moving along at under Comey
Now see if you can answer one of my questions.
Who will the acting FBI commissioner now that Comey has been fired ?
