I think a lot of people try to forget the whole Democratic establishment called for his firing before the election solely to act like outraged babies now. I believe others even said what Comey was doing was treason lol.

You can think Comey was a total shitheel right before the election AND think Trump firing him at this moment was very stupid and makes him look guilty regardless of whether he is or not.

You see, there are many people in the world with more conplex opinions than MAGAMAGAMAGAMAGA. I know that's tough to understand for many of you, but don't worry, no one expect YOU to think that hard or analyze events like that. you're safe.

Pffff... My opinion is more complex than yours. And my opinion is that Comey was looking out for his own neck this whole time. Coming out and playing both sides of the fence with the whole Hillary fiasco.

And now I think the Russia angle is witch hunt, and Comey was protecting himself by getting in on it, and prolonging it. He figured as long as he was in service to the Dems he'd be protected because Trump wouldn't have the balls to pull the trigger to look guilty.

Wrong.

I'm sure a lot of you have never been in a management position. So you don't understand how it works. Trump knows that sometimes there will be political consequences for making a move, but in the long run, the damage that is being side stepped is worth it.

Oh no, the people that hate Trump disagree with his decision? Who cares, you don't like him anyway. Firing Comey at least pleased his base. And got rid of a guy that showed himself to be using the FBI as a political tool

when they talk about it on the news, do they say "Russian hacking the DNC and releasing the info"? or do they say "Russian interference in the election"?

I think they phrase it as "interference" nowadays. if nothing else, that's how it's being phrased at the McCabe et al hearing at the moment. I can't deny that Media Dumb + Bad though, that's fair

well that's the big problem, honestly, because there's likely two parts to an overall Russian strategy at play here

one side is the DNC hacks, which is almost certainly who carried that out and most Americans know this. it's troubling, but it's basically a propaganda effort and is in line with decades of spy vs spy style poo poo we've done to each other.... I mean Voice of America was a thing that existed and this is probably not much different in my estimation

the second part is Russian collusion in the campaign of Trump itself, and while there's some smoke there's no fire

the two are tangentially linked, but when you make the case that they are one in the same, people are going to see that no proof of the latter really exists so far and then extrapolate that to "this whole thing is smoke and mirrors and the media is just against Trump, therefor fake news I don't care"

if they did their jobs properly there would likely be more serious concern from people
