This week President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Democrats who previously had called for Comey's departure denounced the move.
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn), Vice Chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), contends that "it has thrown the nation into a real constitutional crisis. Here we have a man who should never have been allowed to be president act as if he is the president. Since Hillary Clinton won the popular vote it seems to me that any changes in the personnel in the Executive Branch ought to be approved by her before they are made."
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif) agreed. "When a person who should not be president usurps the authority of the office that is grounds for impeachment," she argued. "Hillary Clinton should be the one to determine whether Comey deserved to be fired. Considering how he betrayed her during the campaign she would be justified in firing him. I could support that. The Trump Administration's complaint that Comey was doing a terrible job, over-stepping his authority, and impeding the investigation of leaks of classified information are illegitimate because they originate from an illegitimate president."
Waters dismissed evidence that Comey sat on 600 million pages documenting the Obama Administration's massive illegal surveillance operation targeting American citizens as "irrelevant. The fact is that if President Obama approved this surveillance its revelation by a whistle blower is treason, pure and simple. The FBI Director has no obligation not to impede an investigation that would impugn our last legitimate president's actions to protect this country from its domestic enemies."
Following Comey's dismissal the New York Times published leaks from anonymous sources said to be Comey's "associates at the Bureau." The leaks reportedly gave details of a private, in-person, one-on-one conversation between Comey and President Trump. The leakers' allegation that Trump asked for Comey's loyalty is unverified. However, the very existence of this "leak" does seem to validate the premise that despite his denials that he has never leaked anything to the media nor authorized any of his subordinates to do so, Comey either is the source of this leak or that the leak is totally fabricated.

Forget Comey and anybody that looks like Comey.
Lets go.
Your satire is the MSM’s real reporting of the news which I guess is your point.
How fun of you to mock them like this. Good work!
Dear Mr. Ellison and Ms. Waters,
There is no question that the F.B.I. has been compromised, and for quite a time now, too.
I state this, because it was the F.B.I. that *I* remember, that would have stopped both of you from attaining public office.
Why you might ask? “Ah’s din’t do nuffin!” Yeah, you did!!
Mr. Ellison, you hold to the faith of enemy combatants, as defined in The Patriot Act, which makes you suspect of being an enemy sympathizer, and ineligible for public office.
Ms. Waters, I’ll defer your demonstrated outbursts of infancy to those more qualified. You are a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, are you not? Your group espouses the ideas of Marxism, which has from its birth, been on the F.B.I.’s enemies of America list, even to the day that I enlisted in the military during the Vietnam War. That makes you an ‘enemy of the State’, but because you are a Negro, folks don’t talk about that much.
Good Lord. Those people are crazy.
Where were these two loonies(Waters & Ellison)when Obama was elected? Talk about a person not fit to be president!
The Prodigal Pantsuit didn’t win the ‘popular vote’.
She won the MEHHICCHAN vote in Mexifornia, is all.
LOL! The lines are blurring.
