I recall comey, in july, said he would not comment on whether Trump was under investigation or not... and it made it sound like Trump was guilty. If comey told Trump he was not being investigated, it must have been in private or low key.

Fox is ruminating the reasons.. and I think they are barking up the wrong tree. We have been calling for comey’s removal.. Fox has been somewhere else. Trump had every reason to fire comey and none of them had to do with helping hillary.

Every time they hit on Trump for perfection in everything he does... deep critical perfection... they can shut up until they indict obama. obama set a new standard on lawlessness and illegal.. they ignored him, protected him and worshiped him (him with the lying tongue).. so just shut up on anything with Trump.

Comey never said of Trump that his looked like criminal behavior but just wasn't ever convinced Trump showed mens rea, criminal intent.

Anyone to whom Comey gave a pass can still be charged, of course. There's no question of double jeopardy or DOJ/FBI taking a (unfair) "second bite of the apple" as they consider indictments going forward. Go get 'em, Trey!

The Dems are already comparing it to Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre." Ridiculous!!

Comey should have been fired a long time ago. Trump couldn't do it until he had both Sessions and his deputy on board. McCabe should not be named the active FBI Director given his connection with the Dems giving his wife $700,000 to run against Dick Black for a VA state senate seat.

Comey needs to be investigated for his bizarre handling of the Clinton email case with its many immunities and failure to prosecute anyone for very real crimes. And the fact that the FBI probably paid money for the phony Trump dossiers that were used to justify to a FISA court the investigation of the Trump campaign teams alleged connections to Russia.

Let's hope there are a few honest men left at the FBI who will now come forward and reveal the truth about Comey.

I believe Jeff Sessions was one of the Attorneys fired by Janet Reno/Bill Clinton.

Wormtongue Schumer speaking now. I had to mute it, but I’m still watching to see if he’s going to cry or not.

Dems hated Comey because they believed he “made” Hillary lose. So now Trump fires Comey and the Dems whine over Comey being fired....

Now we have the fun of watching the Dems go all schizoid over Comey’s firing...

It’s another popcorn night!!!!

Amen! And a 🍾 night!!
