Loyalty Requirement

I look at the complete opposite way. IMO Come's refusal to sign a loyalty pledge is borderline treasonous.

If you were a CEO of a company and an employee refused to sign or give affirmation that he/she will act in the companies best interest, the CEO should have a right to terminate that employee.

Who does Comey think he is? Do we real need an FBI director that will defy the President of the United States?

Poor analogy. Being POTUS is an elected position to serve the people. Our Constitution provides for three equal branches of government, with a series of checks and balances to keep one branch from getting out of control.

The CEO of a business is a different function. Autocrats can often do well as a CEO, but not as President.

The FBI, though within the executive branch, is federal law enforcement. The Director of the FBI has already pledged to uphold the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The POTUS is not above the law. When the POTUS breaks the law or laws may have been broken and the trail of evidence leads an investigation to 1600 Pennsylvania, its the FBI's duty to follow that investigation. The POTUS does not get to direct FBI. The idea that the Director of the FBI is beholden to the POTUS is absurd (and dangerous).
 
Who does the President think he is to require a signed pledge of loyalty from the Director of the FBI, the premier LEO in the land. His loyalty is to the Constitution, as should be that of Trump, who simply does not comprehend the Office of the Presidency and what he should be doing. We are in the surreal.

I, James B. Comey, [Attorney General Eric Holder: do solemnly swear] do solemnly swear [Holder: that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States] that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States [Holder: against all enemies, foreign and domestic] against all enemies, foreign and domestic…

. . . and especially Trump.

Can you post this document that demands loyalty to DJT? No the one about the constitution does not count. NYT's is a joke...lol
 
What did this pledge look like? If it was a binding contract, it should have a name.
Did anyone stop to think this may be a sour grapes allegation by Comey, feel free to prove me wrong and post the document that the MSM has surely made available, i'll wait.....

Apparently, Comey didn't kiss his little hand.
 
So in other words, this claim is a mere piker of an allegation, that you (or MSM) cant back?...lol

It would require quoting un-named official sources....and we all know how the right feels about anonymous sources. So you'll just have to remain ignorant...sorry.

The ignorance belongs to people like you that trust anonymous, unnamed gov. sources. YAYY, cheer for secret courts! YAYY!!!

Stay ignorant, then...meanwhile, the educated world will move on without you.
 
LOL, ignorant people believe without evidence. Another (GREAT) BIG LOL, you speak for the educated world...:lamo

Your failure to know the difference between credible journalist anonymous sources and fake ones is very telling. Sad. :(

Your failure to require credible proof in modern America is sadder, yet. Anonymous sources are great, as long as it is against (R) Right, partisan?
 
Lol because even Fox isn't credible enough anymore.

You probably didn't believe "Deep Throat" either. And how did that turn out?
 
All The President's Men--The Sequel
 
I keep wondering who Deep Throat ll will turn up.

Someone in the WH inner circle trying to cover their ass is my guess.

Deep Throat was an FBI man...too.

Good deflection, I was born in 1980. Do us thinking folks a favor? Post a thread when a single, iota of truth is released to the public, until then, post in CT. Thanks, SB:)

Tell ya what...wait for the movie. That way you won't have to think.

When Comey testifies, and he will be called, it will be in the open, he will insist that it not be in a closed session. While I didn't agree with his actions re: HRC and HA, I think he'll have the balls to protect his reputation and call out 45 and his crew. But it'll take someone close to speak out if there is a there there.

FinCen and Bhahara's replacement will be key as well.
