Sorry, but this does not pass the smell test.
No apology necessary. The thread is not saying it happened, it is questioning whether it happened. And you’re right, it smells. But my source was a text message and that source is credible.
Comey did not show for the hearing today. That may be related or not.
Indeed, it doesn’t pass the smell test.
FBI director can be fired, but only one (William Sessions) has ever been fired - and that was after months of allegations about bribes, etc..
Certainly any firing will be highly political, so there would need to be a long and focused campaign against a sitting FBI director before even attempting to do so.
Sessions was fired by Bill Clinton, who along with Chelsea Clinton’s Father, Janet Reno, appointed Louis Freeh as FBI Director.
