Oh and the rumor is that the grand jury subpoenas were dropped at the same time as the letter was being delivered to the FBI by Trump's man.

"I'm sorry Mr. Comey, but I, the President of the United States of America, was just made aware that you're driving a 2012 or so Mini Cooper and have thusly lost all respect for you. I am left with no other option but to conclude that you are in all likelihood some sort of pansy rear end hipster and I therefore see no other choice but to relieve you of your duties as Director of the FBI effective immediately. Maybe next time get something cool like a gilded Cadillac."

It's worth noting that Taylor has been tweeting about grand juries and indictments quite a bit recently. Could just be coincidence, or he could be right.

He's in a presidentially appointed position and working under a demonstrably mercurial and hostile White House, heading a department that bears the responsibility of investigating even the highest officials of the land.

I don't have strong opinions about Comey one way or another, and he seems at least more intelligent than me, and I would have immediately considered this plan of action.

Especially given the corruption of his own boss, Jeff Sessions, who as a part of this investigation is under investigation.

You don't really think that anyone believed he'd truly recuse himself, do you?

Edit: GOD my hate boner is HUGE right now. :flashfap:

I cannot wait for the next few days/weeks. Not because I think anything will happen, but because I want to see what happens when NOTHING happens.

quote:

President Donald Trump weighed firing his FBI director for more than a week. When he finally pulled the trigger Tuesday afternoon, he didn't call James Comey. He sent his longtime private security guard to deliver the termination letter in a manila folder to FBI headquarters.

He had grown enraged by the Russia investigation, two advisers said, frustrated by his inability to control the mushrooming narrative around Russia. He repeatedly asked aides why the Russia investigation wouldn’t disappear and demanded they speak out for him. He would sometimes scream at television clips about the probe, one adviser said.

Trump had grown angry with the Russia investigation — particularly Comey admitting in front of the Senate that the FBI was investigating his campaign — and that the FBI director wouldn't support his claims that President Barack Obama had tapped his phones in Trump Tower.

By Tuesday evening, the president was watching the coverage of his decision and frustrated no one was on TV defending him, a White House official said. He wanted surrogates out there beating the drum.

Instead, advisers were attacking each other for not realizing the gravity of the situation as events blew up. "How are you not defending your position for three solid hours on TV?" the White House aide said.
