Comey becomes anonymous news source in 3...2...1... -- nm - znufrii May 9, 15:04 4
- Actually, I don't think he will. If he's going to speak up it will be publicly, because I think he believes that he acts on principle. - pmb May 9, 15:07 2
  - Yep. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat May 9, 15:18
  - I agree with this analysis. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 9, 15:11
- That whole place is going to be leaking like a sieve in the near term over this. -- nm - ty97 May 9, 15:05

"Just spoke to a source on House Intel who didn't know about firing. House is on recess. Unclear the effect on congressional investigations." -- (link) - ty97 May 9, 14:59
His latest blatant lies to Congress were just too much to shrug off and Trump couldn't figure a way to blame Obama. -- nm - GregW May 9, 14:53 6
- Trump now gets to replace the guy investigating his campaign's ties to Russia. You don't think he's been waiting to find a way? -- nm* - ty97 May 9, 14:54 5
  - An independent counsel seems likely. Or more likely than it seemed before, anyway. -- nm - mara May 9, 15:18 1
    - There will be a lot more pressure for it. Though I think the indpendent counsel would still be looking to the FBI for the investigatory elements. -- nm - pmb May 9, 15:20
  - I mean this just reeks of conflict of interest. It's the equivalent of Nixon firing the special prosecutor. -- nm - pmb May 9, 14:59 2
    - They are claiming the firing is over mishandling of the e-mail investigation and doing it with an apparently straight face. - ty97 May 9, 15:02 1
      - So they think he's *less* dangerous with no job?!?! -- nm - Reagen May 9, 15:05
I know libs are mad at him over October and over the Huma thing yesterday, but I expect this still comes back to bite Trump some - ty97 May 9, 14:49 18
- Libs I'll suggest to you: This is NOT a good thing that he was fired. -- nm - ty97 May 9, 14:51 17
  - I agree. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat May 9, 15:01
  - Very much no, however: this guarantees the scandal is around his neck for however long he remains in office. - Reagen May 9, 14:59 4
    - I was thinking of the IM as well - ty97 May 9, 15:04
    - I look forward to Trump claiming he did it because it was unethical that he made public the re-opening of the Clinton investigation. - pmb May 9, 15:01 2
      - read this second paragraph. -- (link) - mud May 9, 15:03 1
        
        he literally got Future Endeavored. That is funny. -- nm - Mel Profit May 9, 15:13
  - Can't be worse than Sessions running the Justice Dept. Can it? -- nm - Krusty May 9, 14:54 10
    - Trump just fired the guy investigating his campaign's ties to a hostile foreign government. - ty97 May 9, 15:03 9
      - The obvious choice will be . . . Jared Kushner. -- nm - pmb May 9, 15:08 3
        
        No law degree or background in law enforcement. I don't think there's even a tiny chance for him. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 15:12 2
        
        Do I need to remind you that we have a guy with a degree in animal husbandry as head of the Dept. of Energy? - pmb May 9, 15:15 1
        
        Good point. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 9, 15:20
      - Oh, I get it. I was just having some fun with the fact that just about everyone he picks is terrible for the job. - Krusty May 9, 15:06 4
        
        Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! -- nm - ty97 May 9, 15:08 3
        
        Sheriff Clarke. -- nm - mara May 9, 15:14 1
        
        Sheriff Joe. -- nm - pmb May 9, 15:16
        
        Oh god... -- nm - znufrii May 9, 15:08
Wow. I didn't see this coming. I figured all of his help to get Trump elected would have bought him more than a few months. -- nm* - Krusty May 9, 14:49
