Who cares if they didn't see eye to eye. The FBI director was investigating his ties to Russia which could have been criminal. Close to a dozen FSB agents or people with ties to the agency died in suspicious circumstances after Steele's Trump dossier surfaced. Saying "the former employs the latter" grossly understates this - they serve 10 year as a compromise to prevent the accumulation of excess power (Hoover) but to insulate them from exactly this type of thing.

- sbierwagen 10y agoThe director of the FBI serves at the pleasure of the President, as evidenced by the fact the latter just fired the former. If you don't like that, then I suggest you work on passing a law preventing it. Obviously an employee of the President isn't going to police the President very effectively. Historically, that's what special prosecutors have been used for.

- moduspol 10y agoHow many months or years must he remain employed for a witch hunt that likely will never end? The dossier had been unsubstantiated for months when it was first reported, and it's been months and it's still unsubstantiated. This despite the media being decisively against Trump and it being the juiciest imaginable story. It's time to move on.
