WickedsDesire -> Was James Comey closing in on Comrade Trump and his Cronies? (5/10/2017 9:47:24 AM)

To be clear we all know why he was fired?

Donald Trump Fires FBI Director James Comey In Midst Of Russia Probe "Theres one really weird line in the letter."


1) The Stated Reason
In a letter to Comey, Trump said the firing was necessary to restore “public trust and confidence” in the FBI.
Comey has come under intense scrutiny in recent months for his public comments on an investigation into Democrat Hillary Clinton’s email practices, including two letters he sent to Congress on the matter in the closing days of last year’s campaign.
Clinton has said the comments cost her the election.
This obviously benefitted Trump in his race to the White House and he has not been critical of Comey in the past - in fact he praised his “guts” for pursuing the matter and said he did “the right thing”.

In a tweet last October Trump even said Comey should have acted sooner.


2) The Real Reason?

Many commentators believe the motive behind the firing is obvious and The New York Times were made it perfectly clear in an editorial:

Mr. Comey was fired because he was leading an active investigation that could bring down a president. Though compromised by his own poor judgment, Mr. Comey’s agency has been pursuing ties between the Russian government and Mr. Trump and his associates, with potentially ruinous consequences for the administration.

fired by Trump:
Sally Yates
Preet Bharara
James Comey

allegedly investigating Trump:
Sally Yates
Preet Bharara
James Comey
And this will how he will fall - part of me wonders if it hinges on the crow bar one liner off

America it is now time to clear this dangerous mess up. You will be forensically examining creatures arse carnage for years to come.

Personally I believe the history books will be talking about the orange spit for years to come, and amendments tacked onto your constitution/electoral system. I expect the investigations into his carnage to take years and I dont doubt many Republicans will try to stop these investigation for they are that desperate for power - not that I think it will last by the 2018 mid terms.

This is how the charade falls - granted i see him trying to roadblock investigations now but that will be impossible come 2018.

or he may invade someone to boost his popularity and to distract minds from the actual issues at hand..this would not surprise me as its his only insane move left to make

I think he will go totally mental on the twitters tonight ;) as his own foul stench starts to catch him up









WickedsDesire -> RE: Was James Comey closing in on Comrade Trump and his Cronies? (5/10/2017 10:01:24 AM)

additional info as i hate long threads but occasionally the full read is needed...for comical effect


3) The Inspiration

The recommendation for the shock move came from Attorney General Jeff Sessions who in March had to recuse himself from the same investigation for failing to disclose two meetings with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, in 2016.

4) The Timing

Comey was addressing FBI colleagues in Los Angeles when the news of his firing aired on a TV news channel playing in the room.

He initially though it was a “fairly funny prank” until frantic staff ushered him into a side room and he was handed the letter written by the President.

5) The Weird Bit

The full letter reads:

Dear Director Comey:

I have received the attached letters from the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General of the United States recommending your dismissal as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I have accepted their recommendation and you are hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately.

While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau. It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores the public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission.

I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Donald J. Trump
What is odd is the line: “... I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation”. truly staggering and unbelievable

The White House could not elaborate on when these three occasions were and Comey has not said anything publicly to that effect. guffaws

Washington Post reporting tonight that Comey firing resulted from an anger tantrum Trump had over Comey's inability of refusal to shut down the Russian/Trump Campaign contacts.

Before Comey’s firing, Trump grew increasingly angry and impatient, officials say

President was said to be frustrated by FBI director’s focus on Russia and lack of attention to leaks

Accounts from more than 30 officials at the White House, Justice Department and on Capitol Hill indicate that the president was angry that James Comey would not support his baseless claim that President Obama had his campaign offices wiretapped. And he fumed that Comey was giving too much attention to the Russia probe and not enough to investigating leaks to journalists.

By Philip Rucker, Ashley Parker, Devlin Barrett and Robert Costa23 minutes ago

Comey sought more resources for Russia probe days before firing, officials say The furor over President Trump’s abrupt firing of the FBI director grew with the revelation that Comey had sought more resources for an investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government shortly before he was dismissed.

In my not so humble opinion.

Comey was fired, for of a number of reasons.
A) To distract from Clapper and Yates testimony against Flynn
B) He(trump) is pissed and retaliating like a three year old.
C)Comey made a request for more money to speed up the investigation.
D) The new guy was looking for a promotion. (there are details coming out already about him.
E) Trump is acting without supervision this should be corrected soon.
F) Trump praised comey up and down at the beginning of the year for his announcement before the election.
G) His (trump)Team are falling apart. Hiding in the bushes trying to come up with an explanation for the firing.???
H) He(comey) was wrong about the emails from abedin and weiner and that was very sloppy and really does deserve a slap on the wrist, with a bat.
I)He (trump)cant handle the reality of the investigation into russias ties. Not for him so much as how many members of his team.

Fox n friends saying there is no "there, there" but complaining about the "unmasking" despite the actual facts of the testimony of Clapper and Yates. That neither of them were in their positions at the right times to testify one way or the other, AND stated it.
Kellyanne, Sean, Sarah Huckabee Saunders, are bleating the same BS all over every spot they do.

yeah its early
sue me....

heh I have to admit, I didnt read this before I wrote my last post.

Theres also the question of Sessions recusal for me which I didnt mention, but he violated that as far as Im concerned, altho, thats just a personal opinion, not based on any legal authority....
Altho Im guessing that legally? it could be argued that he didnt interfere at all with the investigation.
Ethically it shows that hes a slug.
but in line with the administration, he is amongst a nest of them.



Edited to add, I did a quiggoggle and found his statement from his recusal announcement. From Mar 2nd

quote:

In a statement, Sessions announced that after meeting with his staff and Justice Department counsel, "I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States."

Yes he asked for more resources, and also refused to publicly exonerate trump-team and their Russian buddies and also refusing to back up the lying orange fudds claim that Handsome Obama authorised a wire tap, and the senate committee are looking-closing in on contracts between Russians and Trumps team.

I think Trump was shouting at the telly-actually he was shouting at the television- mind you perhaps the TV beams signals into his head

"But senior Democrats said they believed he had recently asked the justice department for more resources for his Trump-Russia investigation."

After President Trump accused his predecessor in March of wiretapping him, James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, was flabbergasted. The president, Mr. Comey told associates, was “outside the realm of normal,” even “crazy.” he is fuking mental we can all see that right?

A US Senate panel investigating Russian interference in last year's election has issued a rare formal demand for documents from President Donald Trump's former national security adviser.


(Take a minute here to recall that it took Trump 18 days to fire the national security adviser Michael Flynn, after he was warned by then-Acting Attorney General Sally Yates that he could be compromised by the Russians and susceptible to blackmail. Interesting, isn’t it?)

First of all, what on earth was Sessions doing sending a letter in the first place? He said in early March, “I have recused myself in the matters that deal with the Trump campaign,” after he himself was found to have lied about meeting with the Russian ambassador.

How exactly does a person who is a proven liar about his own dealings with the Russians — and who has recused himself from matters dealing with the Trump campaign — make a recommendation to a president whose associates are being investigated for their ties to Russia? And the recommendation is to fire the man leading those investigations?

The sheer brazenness of it all is stunning. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/10/opinion/trump-letter-comey.html

Woke up this morning and watched the hilarious "Circus News from the Executive Branch."

I want to thank you Trump presidential voters for putting their psycho clown into the WH.

The funnest political show in my lifetime. Hoping of course the fool will take a Nixon flight outta town before he does any serious international damage to the nation.

The funnest, funniest, most damn political fun ever. Terrific, trumpeteers!!!

Beginning 3 weeks ago, Comey started getting daily instead of weekly briefings on the Russia probe.
More and more evidence of collusion was pouring in, and the investigation was accelerating.

The Journal reported that despite claims from the Trump Administration that no collusion had occurred, “Some investigators are persuaded that the evidence will show more than just casual contacts. One area of particular interest for the committee is Mr. Trump’s business dealings. The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked for information from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, a division of the Treasury Department.”


Hopefully he's out before the end of the year, all of this neo-fascism goes away, and the alt-right bears this disgrace forever.

The History books will be talking about him for years to come and they will most likely have to tidy up bits of the constitution Electoral college so this never occurs again. Effectively his campaign was based on lies and hypocrisy, and their electoral system effectively put a simple mad corrupt erratic tantrum throwing clown into the oval office. Then you have try imagine the minds who bought, and still by into this _ iwatched a few clips bbc asking eg his voters what kind of job they think he is doing - what I witnessed defied reality But you seen a couple of them on here and they truly 100% believe what they say, or how they perceive reality. I think in the run offs, or whatever they call them there were 12-16 candidates

I have to temper this with I have yet to see a republican stand against all this madness. I find that shameful. One or two are openly doing it now regarding Comey sacking. His business interests yup and will his Empire fall after this shambles as he is ostracized, becomes a leper

I watched a couple of these clips today

James Comey, You Just Got Trump'd!

Trump Faces the Fallout from Firing James Comey: A Closer Look worth a watch i know at 14 minutes its a bit long but Anderson Cooper rolls his eyeballs at kellyann

To me the Reptilian Party has lost all credibility - always the danger of a two party system - UK isnt far of that again - infact i believes it s back to basically a two party system, as long as you take (The SNP support in Scotland out of that equation)

itsSIRtou True. They are conditioned to the extent that no free will remains - often as both of you saidish with hate, entitlement, schadenfreude etc I mean the UK is divided but by fuk America its a chasm

Politics I dislike as even I know there is money behind most candidates from the private sector and it is no longer about the people

SNP arnt as guilty far from it, Tories are mired in it, labour not bad - yes I get they can be "union driven" Republicans are a cesspool and yet the democrats are not that far behind them.

I always found it curious as to a politicians wealth and his political affiliation and why they stand - their motivation - its rarely for the good of the people




MrRodgers -> RE: Was James Comey closing in on Comrade Trump and his Cronies? (5/11/2017 10:14:14 AM)

Trump Is Insulting Our Intelligence:

Highlites:

.....what on earth was Sessions doing sending a letter in the first place? He said in early March, “I have recused myself in the matters that deal with the Trump campaign,” after he himself was found to have lied about meeting with the Russian ambassador.

The sheer brazenness of it all is stunning.

It is in Rosenstein’s letter where things cross over from the outrageous to the absurd. Rosenstein writes: “As you and I have discussed, however, I cannot defend the Director’s handling of the conclusion of the investigation of Secretary Clinton’s emails, and I do not understand his refusal to accept the nearly universal judgment that he was mistaken.”

.....but here’s the problem: The president’s own public comments contradict this statement. During the campaign, Trump effusively praised Comey’s outrageous handling of the Clinton email nonissue. Indeed, Comey’s botching of that investigation may well be one of the reasons Trump stumbled into the White House.

Truth be told, the incessant lying by this president and the elaborate apparatus he has built in the White House to bend reality to meet those lies means that nothing they say is to be believed anyway, but this is of a different nature. This says to America: I’m going to tell you a lie that is so outrageous that you will want to believe that some part of it is true, to preserve your faith in truth, democracy and mankind.

They are using our own human nature against us. We want to believe that people’s natural default is toward truth and good, because the alternative is untenable: Moral anarchy? Well, the alternative is upon us.

And then the day after Comey was fired, Trump met at the White House with the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador, the same ambassador whom Sessions had lied about meeting and who apparently met with other people associated with the Trump campaign. Trump also met Wednesday with Henry Kissinger, who served as Nixon’s secretary of state.

It’s all just too much. We need an independent investigator. I don’t trust anything, anything, coming out of this White House, and I don’t trust this feckless Congress to constrain Trump.

This is not about partisanship, but patriotism. We must protect this country from moral corrosion, at best, and actual destruction, at worst.

If this doesn't stink to you, your nose is broken.

I hope there are leaks from his jail cell.
