About 90 minutes ago President Trump fired FBI Director Comey. As I write Senator Schumer is in front of the TV cameras whining full blast about Trump's "cover-up" of supposed Russian connections.
Comparisons have already been made to Nixon's firings during the Watergate Affair. Odd since those firings didn't help Nixon, they hurt him. But I don't think Schumer looks at it from quite that perspective.
What's everybody's reaction here? Good move for Trump.....or dumb?

TommyGunn,

ImVho, Comey richly deserved being "canned", as he tried to COVER-UP for "Hillary ROTTEN Klintoon's" UTTER DISHONESTY.

Personally, I believe we NEED an OUTSIDER, who is DISINTERESTED in party politics, as the new FBI Director.
(With 50 States to pick from, I cannot imagine that there isn't a SMART, TOUGH & UTTERLY HONEST lawman in one of the State Police departments that can start CLEANING UP & CLEANING OUT the MESS at the FBI.)

IF I had my choice, it would be a CPT of the Texas Rangers.
(Our Rangers are just as TOUGH & HONEST as the myth is.)

Dunno about competence, think the guy did the best he thought he could do under the circumstances.

Timing, however, sucks. Just doesn't look good.

Don't know personally, but I've been told by authoritative sources that the most dangerous place in DC is between Schumer and TV cameras.

William R. Moore,

I seriously question the IQ of anyone/anywhere who believes anything that "Suckie Chuckie" Schumer claims. = His mouth should be sewed shut, as he is incompetent to do anything but spew 100% phony DIMocRAT Party propaganda.

May I remind everyone that in NOV 2016 that "Chuckie" was DEMANDING that Comey be immediately fired & prohibited from ever being hired for any other federal job?

Finally Comey is gone. He ruined his own career by laying out Hillary's crimes in a 13 minute monolog then saying no charges would be filed. IMO he expected her to be the next POTUS and was just doing CYA.

Make that *both* the sphincters he spews his bovine scatology from, one at each end.

I am wondering if Mr. Trump wants someone who will press harder on the Pre-Election stuff involving government surveillance.

The recent allegations by Rand Paul are giving credence to my personal theory, which I came out with after former Administration folks let it slip that surveillance of Mr. Trump and his campaign folks had begun very soon after he announced his candidacy.

Back then, most folks in politics thought his run was either a publicity a stunt or a lost cause, with very little chance that he would last too long in the campaign.

So, when I heard that folks in the Government were looking at him so closely, even then, I was reminded of one of the scenes in the classic book/movie "The Day of the Jackal," where the investigator chasing the hit man has just found a leak by tapping the communications of one of DeGaulle's most trusted cabinet advisers. As the unfortunate leaker is being escorted out, one of the other cabinet members marvels at the investigator's skill. "Wonderful! But how did you know which one of our phones you should tap?"

The investigator replies: "I didn't, so I tapped them all."

If Paul, a sitting U.S. Senator at the time of his campaign, was also tapped, and was also considered a long shot in the early part of the campaign, what are the odds that folks like Former Gov. Jeb Bush, Former Gov. Rick Perry (Now the Energy Secretary) Sitting Senator Marco Rubio, Sitting Senator Ted Cruz, and Sitting Senator Lindsey Graham, were also spied on? I think if anything could get Graham and Trump on the same page on something, it would be if they found that out. I would not be surprised if the previous Administration "tapped them all."
