Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey Tuesday, saying it was necessary to restore "public trust and confidence" in the nation's top law enforcement agency following several tumultuous months.

"The FBI is one of our nation's most cherished and respected institutions, and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement," Trump said in a statement.

The White House said the search for a new FBI director was beginning immediately. The White House made the stunning announcement shortly after the FBI corrected a sentence in Comey's sworn testimony on Capitol Hill last week. Comey told lawmakers that Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, had sent "hundreds and thousands" of emails to her husband's laptop, including some with classified information.

On Tuesday, the FBI said in a two-page letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that only "a small number" of the thousands of emails found on the laptop had been forwarded there while most had simply been backed up from electronic devices. Most of the email chains on the laptop containing classified information were not the result of forwarding, the FBI said.

Comey, 56, was nominated by President Barack Obama for the FBI post in 2013 to a 10-year term. Praised for his independence and integrity, Comey has spent three decades in law enforcement and has been no stranger to controversy.

Schumer was just on tv saying Trump is trying to avoid a investigation lol. Few months ago the Dems were saying he should be fired.
 
If Trump said global warming was real, gays should use every bathroom, and the minimum wage should be $100, democrats would say global warming is fake science, gay is a mental illness, and the minimum wage should be abolished.

New Evidence Reveals Comey Exonerated Hillary Before Key Witness Interviews


A new letter from Senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham reveal testimony from new witnesses suggesting that former FBI Director James Comey had already started drafting documentation exonerating Hillary Clinton long before interviewing key witnesses, including Hillary herself.

According to the letter, which is based on testimony from James Rybicki, Comey’s Chief of Staff, and Trisha Anderson, the Principal Deputy General Counsel of National Security and Cyberlaw, Comey began drafting a statement to announce the conclusion of the Hillary investigation in April or May 2016, well before he had interviewed up to 17 key witnesses.


Meanwhile, as if that weren't bad enough, the Comey statement was also drafted before immunity deals were struck with Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson who seemingly ran point, along with Platte River Networks, to destroy Hillary's emails after a Congressional subpoena had been issued mandating their preservation.

Here is a summary from the Grassley/Graham letter:


Transcripts reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee reveal that former FBI Director James Comey began drafting an exoneration statement in the Clinton email investigation before the FBI had interviewed key witnesses. Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senator Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, requested all records relating to the drafting of the statement as the committee continues to review the circumstances surrounding Comey’s removal from the Bureau.

“Conclusion first, fact-gathering second—that’s no way to run an investigation. The FBI should be held to a higher standard than that, especially in a matter of such great public interest and controversy,” the senators wrote in a letter today to the FBI.

Last fall, following allegations from Democrats in Congress, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) began investigating whether Comey’s actions in the Clinton email investigation violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits government employees from using their official position to influence an election. In the course of that investigation, OSC interviewed two FBI officials close to Comey: James Rybicki, Comey’s Chief of Staff, and Trisha Anderson, the Principal Deputy General Counsel of National Security and Cyberlaw. OSC provided transcripts of those interviews at Grassley’s request after it closed the investigation due to Comey’s termination.

Both transcripts are heavily redacted without explanation. However, they indicate that Comey began drafting a statement to announce the conclusion of the Clinton email investigation in April or May of 2016, before the FBI interviewed up to 17 key witnesses including former Secretary Clinton and several of her closest aides. The draft statement also came before the Department entered into immunity agreements with Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson where the Department agreed to a very limited review of Secretary Clinton’s emails and to destroy their laptops after review.

Its REALLY time to drain the swamp...
 
When the news is truthful, I'll believe what they say. News media in a court of law don't have to report the truth. Please stop reporting things as the truth just because you want to believe it.

you talking to me?
 
Where did this info come from? Members of Congress released this info. It's not fake news from the Media.

The old saying is true, "don't believe anything you hear and half of what you see" today you can't believe anything you hear or see. And congress only tells the true? cough

that's fine if you want to wait for the transcripts of the testimony from comeys aid and comeys exoneration letter with dates to be released. you're being very cautious.

but for you and others not to see that this investigation was a scam from the get-go is astonishing.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said it was a scam. The government is not going to be truthful nor is the news media. They all are trying to sell you something. "Drain the swamp" but believe what they report on? 🤦🏻*♂️
 
I wouldnt hear about of a lot of this more interesting information since it doesnt make it to the normal news cycle, they are too interested in covering whatever brings the highest ratings and that is anything negative about trump they can create hysteria over
 
[FONT=lucida_granderegular]"Last[/FONT] January[FONT=lucida_granderegular], the FBI's chief FOIA officer, David Hardy, gave a sworn declaration to [/FONT]Judicial Watch[FONT=lucida_granderegular] in which he said that [/FONT]all seven of Comey's memos were classified at the time they were written, and they remain classified[FONT=lucida_granderegular].

[/FONT]
Mr. Hardy says that all of Comey's memos - all of them, were classified at the time they were written, and they remain classified.

Comey therefore mishandled national defense information when he "knowingly and willfully" leaked them to his Law Professor pal at Columbia University, Daniel Richman.

It's also mishandling of national defense information, which is a crime. So it's clear that Mr. Comey not only authored those documents, but then knowingly and willfully leaked them to persons unauthorized, which is in and of itself a national security crime.


Comey did in fact commit the federal crime of leaking classified information"
