    The Real, Real Reason TRMP Fired Comey

    1. Because Comey was unfair to Hillary Clinton.
    2. Because Rosenstein recommended it.
    3. Comey was undermining the Integity of the FBI
    4. Comey was insubordinate.
    5. Comey was a showboat.

    Really real this time...
    6. It needs to go faster with Integrity!



    In other words, we'll appoint people that will give us the conclusion we want.

    "integrity"?

    Have you heard that word before? I made it up. I found that word and started using it and now everyone is.

    Maybe if Trump is removed from office, with integrity, things will get done faster.

      Yup, more like the WH wants to shorten any investigation so that no answers would be found and Trump and his crowd get a good bill of health.

              Reason #7

              He wouldn't pledge his loyalty to TRMP

              WASHINGTON — Only seven days after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as president, James B. Comey has told associates, the F.B.I. director was summoned to the White House for a one-on-one dinner with the new commander in chief.The conversation that night in January, Mr. Comey now believes, was a harbinger of his downfall this week as head of the F.B.I., according to two people who have heard his account of the dinner.
              As they ate, the president and Mr. Comey made small talk about the election and the crowd sizes at Mr. Trump’s rallies. The president then turned the conversation to whether Mr. Comey would pledge his loyalty to him.
              Mr. Comey declined to make that pledge. Instead, Mr. Comey has recounted to others, he told Mr. Trump that he would always be honest with him, but that he was not “reliable” in the conventional political sense.

                  "The Real, Real Reason TRMP Fired Comey

                  Destabilisation, especially between authorities like Justice, Law, Intelligence etc. His business process is internal competition, may not work so well as president. Non cooperation could open the US to more terrorism. And of course that would just reinforce Trump's position with his followers.

                  I imagine that anyone in those essential authorities must feel like they are living on that swamp he was going to drain.

                    Ive been thinking to what extent will Trump keep on employing the divide and conquer tactic. What boundaries does he have? Will he deliberately destabilize institutions, polarize the population then use some of the post 9/11 measures to create marshal law?

                      I get the impression from the MSM that the customary fight between the new President's people and the eternal Washington people is starting to look a bit like the Western Front in 1914, with both sides digging in for a long war of attrition, and scouting around for alliances.

                      I think the President is in danger of starting an unrestricted U-boat campaign, and that will attract some unexpected allies to the side of the Washington people.

                        Trump's ego was the reason, on many levels. One quote in particular was telling :"He's more famous than me." (Discussing Comey)

                          Comey figured out who stole the strawberries?

                              I've no idea what goes on this guy's head, but 'taint natural.

                              Trump Says He Was Thinking Of ‘Russia Thing’ In Decision To Fire Comey..

                              “And in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won,” he continued, adding: “This was an excuse for having lost an election.”

                              He said later that he simply wanted a “competent” FBI director, and that “As far as I’m concerned, I want that thing to be absolutely done properly,” referring to the investigation.



                              Trump: ‘I Never Thought About’ How It Would Look To Abruptly Fire FBI Director..

                              President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he did not consider the optics or potential backlash of suddenly firing former FBI Director James Comey, who led the bureau’s investigation into possible collusion between members of Trump’s campaign and Russian officials.

                              “I never thought about it. It was set up a while ago, and frankly I could have waited. But what difference does it make?” Trump said.




                              a) .. He says he was thinking about the Russia thing "when I decided to just do it"
                              b) .. I never thought about it. It was set up a while ago
