Democrats Wanted Comey Fired -- Until Tuesday | LifeZette


"I do not have confidence in him any longer," Schumer said of Comey, on Nov. 2.

"Maybe he's not in the right job," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told CNN on Nov. 2.

Clinton adviser James Carville went so far as to bizarrely suggest Comey, House Republicans and the KGB (disbanded during the collapse of the Soviet Union) were in cahoots to elect Trump, during a Oct. 31 interview on MSNBC.

“This is not fake news. Intelligence officials are hiding connections to the Russian government. There is no question,” then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said in a Dec. 10 interview on MSNBC. “Comey knew and deliberately kept this info a secret,” he said.

"I called on FBI Director James Comey to resign his position after his recent communication with members of Congress regarding the bureau’s review of emails potentially related to Hillary Clinton‘s personal email server," Cohen wrote in a Nov. 3 op-ed published in The Hill.

“The FBI director has no credibility,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), according to CBS.

“My confidence in the FBI director’s ability to lead this agency has been shaken,” said Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia).

"If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president," she told a women's conference moderated by CNN's Christiane Amanpour on May 2. "It wasn't a perfect campaign, but I was on the way to winning until a combination of Comey's letter and Russian WikiLeaks. The reason why I believe we lost were the intervening events in the last 10 days."
Trump took the Democratic opposition to heart and decided to do what Democrats asked and fired Comey. Trump reached across the aisle and showed respect for their opposition and decided to fire Comey. Now those same people who pleaded and begged Trump to fire Comey are outraged. I need help trying to understand; I thought the Democrats stood for ideals and values that are cherised by all Americans but it's starting to look like they're blindingly attacking Trump for doing what they asked.

Let's see, the same day new subpoenas are issued in the Trump/Russia treason investigation he writes up a memo firing Comey dated the same day. Are we really supposed to believe he's being fired for something he did 6 months earlier to Clinton?

I was never a fan of Comey because I think his actions directly elected Trump, but after Trump spent the past 6 months talking up how awesome and trustworthy Comey is he just decides one day he's changing his mind and fires him on the spot? The timing is more than a little suspect. Sure, it's totally normal for a president to fire the person who's investigating him for treason, nothing to see here!
 
And the answer is........because the opposite of being upset with Trump is unfathomable.

Because the president of the US fired the FBI director... in the middle of an FBI investigation regarding... the president of the US.

It's not really hard to understand.

Oh and bravo, I've never seen such honest, unbiased & thoughtful poll choices !

So then if an FBI director wants to hold a Democles Sword over a president, he should just claim to be in the middle of an investigation forever? Is that what you think?

Oh come on now...you cannot be THAT naive...can you?

And your poll choices are absolutely ridiculous.

Where is the staggeringly obvious one 'Because Dems are afraid Trump will replace Comey with someone who will drop the Russia/Trump investigation.'?


You are as out-of-touch as Trump if you honestly had no idea why Dem's are pissed with this.

Seeing as how you expected more from DP's most partisan hack, I think you might be the one out-of-touch.

Hillary would have fired his sorry ass too.

And if she did it 6 months later while he was leading an investigation on her, it would be equally as bad. "But... but... Hillary!" doesn't rationalize away Donald's panicky and completely transparent actions.

Are you denying Comey is involved in the investigation ?

You maybe right.

I genuinely assumed he could not be that naive...that he was just being coy. I may have been wrong.

Suspicions are like assholes - every liberal has one

But don't you think its getting a little hysterical to say that trump is being investigated for treason?

Are you saying conservatives don't poop?

Gosh, maybe that's why they're so angry?

Comey was leading an investigation into Trump before Trump won the election. It doesn't matter if it was 6 months later or 7 years later. The complaints would be the same.

Also, The same day that the deputy AG sent a letter recommending that Comey be fired. Much more fun to interject conspiracy theories rather than simply take something at face value though.

When the majority of the Democrat party sounds like the left wing version of info wars things are getting a little out of hand.

Of course they poop

We just don't do it in public like the liberals do
 
Sorry but that comeback was retarded.

It was on the typical liberal level of comprehension.

And I see you got the message ok

Funny. Comey did the right thing in the Clinton case and in the Trump investigation. I would have thought he was a good man.

"Yeah, That's the ticket!"
Apologies to John Lovett.......
 
Democrats are upset for the same reason many Republicans are upset about it. The timing is suspect.

When would be a better time to dismiss a bumbling FBI director who does not have the respect of his department?
