Wouldn't this be a great "3-D Chess" explanation why Trump didn't fire Comey on January 20? (Give this guy--Comey--the rope he needs to hang himself).
J Edger Comey has some splainin to do.
Nunes’ press conference was an atom bomb while the media is trying to cover for their messiah.
He just said it sounded like it was a political hack and went into the WH.
FBI Directors have 10-year terms so that they do not strictly serve at the pleasure of the President and thereby have a presumed bias. So firing him on Jan 20 would have been highly unusual and would have unleashed an immediate firestorm. But firing him after obvious perjury before Congress would be difficult to oppose, although the left-wing attack dogs would still do it but not with much to stand on.
