Donald Trump finally put beleaguered FBI Director James Comey out of his misery.
While speaking at a FBI field office, Comey found out about his termination via a television report – and thought it was a practical joke. It was not. As Sam Cooke sang, “It’s been a long time comin’.”
Now Elizabeth Warren is leading the Democratic rallying cry as to why Comey was fired.
Warren claims Trump fired Comey to impede the investigation into collusion with Russia over election interference.
She said,
“Donald Trump doesn’t want anyone coming any place close to an active investigation into the relationship between the Russians, the Trump campaign, and Donald Trump himself.”
The problem is there’s a major flaw in Warren’s theory.
The Trump-Russia story has been a non-stop press bonanza. Firing Comey doesn’t make the investigation, an investigation that obviously sprawls beyond the purview of one man, disappear.
If anything, the firing will bring more scrutiny to the investigation. If Trump were truly guilty, the last thing he would want is more intensity on the issue.
From the National Review:
The firing will draw more attention to Comey than ever before, at least in the short term; it won’t shut down the Russia investigation, which will continue as before, just with a new leader at the top; it will stoke even more suspicions about Russia and magnify any new revelations; it might well embroil the White House in a contentious confirmation battle that re-litigates the Comey firing and focuses on the Russia controversy; and if there isn’t a confirmation battle, it will only be because Trump picks someone with a sterling reputation who is pledged to follow Russia wherever it leads. So if this is an attempted cover-up, it will almost certainly back-fire.
For this reason, the cover-up narrative makes little sense.
If the firing was tied to the Russia investigation, it was probably due to the fact Trump was annoyed at the snail’s pace of the fruitless probe.
After almost a year of digging, the only “links” are Mike Flynn’s mild transgressions and a discredited intelligence report about Trump and Russian escorts (which was propagated by a Russia-backed Democratic research firm).
Whatever the reason, the Comey circus needed to end. Democrats championed him when he prematurely (and as a rule of law, perhaps incorrectly) cleared Hillary Clinton of criminal wrongdoing.
Then Democrats hated him when he reopened the investigation so close to the November election.
They hated him even more when he recently explained his thought process on both decisions last year.
Then Democrats hated him even more when recent news broke that he misspoke (and possibly perjured himself) when he said Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin routinely sent classified documents to her husband Anthony Weiner.
The Republicans weren’t big fans of Comey throughout this saga, either.
That’s why people on both sides of the aisle called for his firing for months. Yet now that it actually happened, it’s a national outrage.
When members of congress can’t keep their Comey narrative straight, what chance does Joe Q. Public have?
During Stephen Colbert’s opening monologue, he announced breaking news that Comey had just been fired, and his left-leaning audience cheered uproariously, much to Colbert’s chagrin.
Apparently it takes a full news cycle for partisan narratives to be formed and disseminated to the masses.
We must remember, fauxahauntis is talking to the brain dead democrats who cannot think for themselves and will believe her BS.
The Russians made her do it!
SHE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AND THEN LOCKED UP IN A LOONEY BIN WHERE SHE BELONGS….
SHE NEEDS A STRAIGHT JACKET WITH PEE LUCY
Like Lying Hillary Liesalot pocahontis has her lips moving. This woman is a box of rocks and any being that listens to her is of the same category. That would be Pelosi, Waters, Schmucky, McCain, etc..
WHEN WILL THESE SICK DEMOCRATS GET OUT OF THE WAY. THEY HAVE HARMED OUR COUNTRY ENOUGH. THEY ARE PUSHING FOR A CIVIL WAR AND THEY BETTER STOP. THEY ARE STANDING IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS.
This woman’s mind is almost, if not totally dysfunctional! She needs to find some quiet place and shut up with her ridiculous comments! She really doesn’t know what she’s talking about most, if not all the time! It seems like the only thing she can say is something totally fake or false about President Trump! She never, or rarely states what kind of plans she would have for America if she, unfortunately would elected to the presidency! Also, she’s just another lame Democrat who can’t stand the fact that their candidate lost the last election! Thank God for that!
Did you ever wonder, about hoaxuponus? aka elizabeth warren,… Why aren’t the dims not telling us why, just before had wanted to get rid of comy themselves….and repace him a more America hater.. Hmmm ???.
That warren bitch needs put out of her misery, so damn ugly a wart hog would puke if put in same room with her.
Trump needs to line up hos private lLawyers to set ip Librl Suits sgainst those who Slander him publicly. They have to be accountable for any false commentd or nees. Its War.
I agree. I pray after all this crap they find more against the acusers so Trump can sue all of them for slander and interference. .
I was so proud of our President for receiving the respect he deserved overseas. I hope he never gives up.
