Yeah, that was one of my first thoughts about this. I have no love lost for Comey but there's a huge conflict of interest here with Trump and I think the reasons for Trump firing Comey are not the reasons I would want him fired. Comey was doing a balancing act, playing one constituency against another.
It seems like Trump is purging everyone who might provide any level of oversight whatsoever.
- mikeash 9y ago"Conflict of interest" is practically the man's middle name. Not only does he not avoid them, he seems to actively seek them out.

- frostymarvelous 9y agoA nitpick. He didn't actually say "nepotism is a beautiful thing". While I absolutely do not agree with Trump or his family and what they are doing, I hate to see when people, with a subtle twist change the meanings of what people say. Trump has done enough to fuel negative press for decades. We don't need to make stuff up.
- mikeash 9y agoIt doesn't say he said that. The quotes are only around "beautiful thing." Here's the actual quote: "Is that nepotism? Absolutely. Is that also a beautiful thing? Absolutely. Family business is a beautiful thing." I think the description is reasonable, and they make it abundantly clear that the first two words are a paraphrase.
- drjesusphd 9y agoI'm pretty sure there's no conflict of interest. He has only one.
