Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

So who's acting head in the meantime?

Rosenstein

er wait no he's deputy AG. I'm not sure who the deputy FBI director is right now

So who's acting head in the meantime?

Tiffany.

this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_G._McCabe

he should put mike flynn in charge

Pete Williams reporting that Trump called Dianne Feinstein earlier this afternoon to let her know he was firing Comey; it's gotten "bipartisan support."

...

This is ridiculous.

The idea that he was fired for misrepresenting the huma emails is the dumbest lie i've ever heard in my entire life.

sounds like Lindsey and The Mav are 100% supportive...

Caught the end of John McCain's reaction to the Comey firing: "The president does have that authority, so I respect that."

now all I can picture is Atamanuik as Trump: "I talked to a Democrat!"

xp

when it comes to national security, Feinstein is truly bipartisan

John McCain is a douchebag

sounds like Lindsey and The Mav are 100% supportive...

true to form!

diseased dick nominated for FBI director

twitter helpfully reminding me that sessions recused himself from the russia investigation.. and has now waded in to recommend firing the leader of that investigation

which makes Lindsey's posturing about his subcommittee delving deeper into Trump's Russian connections all the more lol

Trump (and GOP) strategy on this has been to obstruct and head off threats from this investigation at every turn - they can't stop it altogether cuz lol intelligence community leaks + press + substantial portion of outraged public won't let them, but they sure can make it drag on forever and a day. which is what the end result is going to be. at least until 2018.

WTF @ this news.

It's troubling that several of you apparently had the same thought I did re: FBI Director Giuliani.

good thing for Trump that Comey is going to go away quietly and will calmly accept his fate without any regrets

Giuliani would probably *love* to have this job if it wasn't basically a death sentence. I don't think he wants the stress of stepping into this mess. He would prefer just being able to crack heads & kill muslims, black people etc. Be the whipping boy for an investigation of the president probably not so much.

He totally will. He's a man of stupid principles.

one door marked 'conceal', another marked 'speak', a third marked 'hello FBI director scott baio!'

good thing for Trump that Comey is going to go away quietly and will calmly accept his fate without any regrets

hey it's just some mild nausea, he can handle it

FBI Director Eric Trump
FBI Director Mike Cernovich
FBI Director Alex Jones
FBI Director Ivanka Trump
FBI Director Jared Kushner

don't forget the nuge

goddamn I am ashamed

looking forward to the press conference where he announces Jim's replacement by saying "Ladies our gentlemen, our new Fuh-bee director...."

FBI Director Sarah Palin

People seem to be focusing on the utterly laughable idea that Comey was fired for being unfair to Clinton, but reading between the lines (not even, really) of the AAG's recommendation, it looks like an alternate interpretation is that Comey was wrong to have announced that they wouldn't pursue prosecution of Clinton. Still makes little sense in terms of firing him today though (as if anyone who was paying attention couldn't see right through President Dumbfuck's true motives).

Trump literally said this just a couple days ago

this clears the way for another investigation into hillary's emails, a proper one, this time

Jesus i hope there isnt a clinton show trial on the horizon

hahaha omg that's totally what's going to happen right?

fuck this world

taht isn't going to happen

Trump is Winston Moseley and we are all Kitty Genovese

Idk. I dont think there will be enough evidence to bring charges but there might be more idiotic senate hearings or something to deflect attention/demoralize democrats

FBI Director Trey Gowdy

I think its not unwise to blame trump for any decrease in worker productivity over the first year of his presidency. I cant get a fucking thing done bc of the news.

.@POTUS will be defined by this decision-consumed by it-for however long his presidency endures, and beyond.

FBI Director/ Badass Cowboy Sheriff David Clarke

Joe Arpaio's free

Next FBI Director's marching orders will be: "Lock her up!"

Do we seriously think that could happen? The blatant use of the fbi to punish (defeated!) political opponents?

That's that dictator shit people were warning about during the campaign

but the persecution of political opponents was Hoover's bag since the Palmer raids. You should listen to his taped chats w/LBJ.
