Worked for Comey: As Buzzfeed News’ Chris Geidner reported, Uttam Dhillon actually worked for Comey during his time at the Justice Department, from 2003-2006. In his role as associate deputy attorney general, Dhillon worked right under Comey, who was deputy attorney general from 2003-2005.
Dhillon, according to The New York Times, feared firing Comey, as Trump ultimately did last May, would put the presidency in danger. He told Trump the president needed cause to fire the FBI director. After a junior lawyer’s researched concluded Trump could fire Comey for any reason, Dhillon never corrected the record, the Times report said. So who is Dhillon, the White House lawyer who tried to stop Trump?
How was Trump “misled” about his authority to fire Comey?
He did fire Comey. And he clearly had the authority to fire him.

To me, meaningless. They discredit themselves by using the term Treason to loosely.
I don’t know what the case is you’re referring to or what it had to do with my posts vis-a-vis treason.
My post dealt with the website gaslighting us by calling people traitors and actually conveying that they mean it.
You’re as angry as I am, and rightfully so.
Through all the agony of the past year, have you heard this stupid name? NO. Unless I’m not paying attention, which is ridiculous.
Thoroughly annoyed...so annoyed that I’m going to bed.
Why is Bobby giving questions to anybody?
Go F yourself Bobby or I will do it for you.
Dirtiest politics in my lifetime and I came over on the Mayflower.
Is there anybody in the United States who has not worked for James Comey?
You ought to be careful asking such questions. There are a lot of freeper cucks here who insist people like this indian are “American’” because they can wave a piece of paper saying that they are so.
Bookmark.
I don’t believe I made reference to my objection because he is an Indian.
My objection is because he is a Comeyite and a Democrat, two things that are intolerable and he should be dismissed from the White House.
He could be an Hindu bisexual for all I care, contrary to the left which claims we are intolerant.
For a year and a half we have been showered with story after story about how Trump has been betrayed, misled, influenced, subverted, co-opted and misinformed.
For months we were told Ivanka and Jared were effectively running the whitehouse, and according to certain pearl clutchers, Sessions has pretty much ruined Trump’s presidency by not protecting him from Rosenstien and Mueller’s ‘silent coup’. The list goes on of backstabbings, underminings and blindsidings.
The only problem with this ‘silent coup’ theory is the fact that Trump is still standing tall, still outspokenly saying the same things he said two years who in the early days of his campaign. He is keeping his campaign promises and delivering on his agenda.
Most importantly, he appears completely unrattled.
Dems need be exiled to some island somewhere in the Aleutians. Those who don't go need be terminated.
Those who follow these things know that it was completely within the purview of the President’s authority to fire the FBI Director for any reason he likes...he doesn’t need any Congressional approval to do it. (Getting a replacement is different, obviously)
He can fire someone even if he thinks he is simply not aggressive enough, no other “cause” is needed.
But that may not have been apparent to Trump who doesn’t have as much experience or exposure to this end of things, so he may have been getting advice.
It sounds like this Swamp Rat of a lawyer gave him deliberately crappy advice. I read his profile, and I don’t like it.
I know what you mean (and this is definitely not an attack on you) but if they have citizenship, however they got it, they ARE “American” even if they are lousy, un-assimilated Americans (which some are)
It is one of the greatest things about America that the Left has tried its hardest to destroy. I loved Dinesh D’Souza’s excellent book “What’s So Great About America?” in which he makes the point:
If you go to India and become a citizen of that country and then say you are Indian, people will laugh at you, because that just isn’t understood as possible. And every other country around the world is the same. Heck, even if you went to Germany or the UK, became a citizen and said you were German or British, you would have people smirk at you and say “Sure you are.”
But in America, you can come from anywhere, get your citizenship and proudly (we hope) say: “I am an American!” and no matter where you came from, people will not even bat an eye in skepticism. You CAN “become” an American.
Leftists hate that. They hate one America. They want multiple Americas, and they don’t want people assimilating. God, how I detest Leftists.
How was Trump “misled” about his authority to fire Comey?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Its fake news question being shopped around by CNN and others.They want to say that Trump was mislead, when in fact PDJT fired Comey for cause, after PDJT being informed of how Comey was lying to the President and others about his work involving the Steele Report, and the surveillance on the Trump Campaign and presidency, which actually constituted an attempted coupe of a duly elected president of the United States, something the Russians really wanted BTW. Its Comey and Hillary Clinton who colluded with the Russians via Steele.
Comey and many others need to be indicted for the crime syndicate they are, under the RICO statute.
Trump was not misled.But the fake news want that line out there to legitimize Comey the criminal racketeer.
No one, including myself could ever imagine that anyone, especially a big ego like Trump, could ever survive so much garbage being thrown at them.
I’m glad that Trump has very thick skin as he withstood this constant barrage and used it to become stronger. My hat is off to him. He is a special man.
Many prayers are with him too.
If I may, how did he mislead the President in firing Comey? Someone that the President had authority to fire at any time, for any reason.
There’s more than one leaker in the WH. The snot who “leaked” the staffer stating the fact that McCain is dying was trying to hurt the WH as well.
