Everyone should read the letter that the Deputy Attorney General wrote to the Attorney General in recommending that Comey be fired. It's brutal: http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/politics/fbi-director-james-b-comeys-termination-letters-from-the-white-house-attorney-general/2430/ http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/politics/fbi-dire...
This and Comey's recent misstatements to Congress about Huma Abedin forwarding sensitive emails to Anthony Weiner are alone grounds for Trump to fire Comey. Whether Trump had other motives... I mean, who knows? It's all speculation.
- hendersoon 9y agoI agree with every word of that latter. He deserved to be fired. However, the idea that Trump fired the FBI director for causing Clinton to bleed is just a teensy bit hard to swallow. And if they're going to fire him for going after Clinton, why wait until May? Why not January?
- tannhauser23 9y agoI think he was waiting for the right reason to fire him. This letter plus the assist from Comey's recent screwup in front of the Senate gives Trump the perfect excuse to fire him. Comey should have just shut up and did his investigation.
- hendersoon 9y agoIf that was the case, why didn't any of the three letters mention Comey screwing up in front of that committee? They only mentioned his severe misjudgment in Hillary's emails 10 days before the election. Nah. Doesn't pass the smell test. Now don't get me wrong, he WAS fired because those investigations upset Trump. And that very likely WAS the reason. But it wasn't the reason they stated.
