General Breaking Now- Comey dismissed as FBI director
- Thread starter seekntruth
- Start date
one current and one former FBI official close to Comey told NBC News Thursday evening.
Changed your tune on unnamed sources now?
Well of course. And the guy replacing him currently is surely in the know on basically everything as the number two in charge.
Hence the unlikeliness that firing one person at the FBI would stop any investigation that has teeth.

Brilliant. Lol
lol wonder what those conversations were like. Pretty sure its Comey telling Trump on 3 different occasions that he's not under investigation.[/QUOTE]
It's almost as if Trump is encouraging people to compare this to the Nixon shit.
Networks Spend 62 Percent of Comey Coverage Pushing Firing Conspiracy
In the immediate aftermath of the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, the Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) didn’t quite know how to spin it. But just 24 hours later, the narrative was clear: President Trump fired Comey because the Russia investigation was closing in on him. During their Wednesday evening broadcasts, the networks spent almost two-thirds of their Comey coverage (62 percent) pushing that theory. The networks ran 40 minutes, 25 seconds of Comey coverage, and of that, they spent 25 minutes, five seconds on the conspiracy theory.

So Trump was never under investigation according to Comey but he fired Comey for investigating him? Liberal logic at its finest.
Did Comey say that or did Trump say Comey said that?
Comey's associates have stated Comey would have never spoken to Trump about a possible investigation into him or his team.
And if Comey did reveal to Trump there was no investigation when asked, shouldnt it be of concern the President is asking the FBI director for information about a possible investigation against him?
Looks like Spicy Sean is still grounded.
*Edit, nope Sean is back.
Welcome back Spicy.
I cant believe the President would ask the director of the FBI a question. How dare him.
You dont think the President asking the FBI a question directly related to an investigation about him and his team is a conflict of interest?
You dont think there should be a series of checks and balances within the USA govt?
I think its more of a conflict of interest to mishandle classified material but dont let real facts get in the way of your arguement about a question
I agree its wrong to mishandle classified material (and even a justification for termination), not sure if it would be considered a conflict of interest though.
Just because Comey mishandled classified information, that does not justify Trump asking the FBI for information about an investigation on him and his team.
You are reaching. Keep drinking the kool aid
What part of that is reaching?
