If he wanted Comey to go why didn't he ask for his resignation during the transition? DemocratSinceBirth May 2017 #2

investigation".

That is open to interpretation.

It could mean that he wanted Comey to refer Hillary to a grand jury, and because he didn't, he viewed that as "mishandling it"

They are a twisted bunch for sure

i vaguely recall seeing trump (after election) basically laughing and telling his roaring crowed that he wasn't going to go after hillary or put her in jail--and they looked a bit surprised to hear that--so with that in mind, i don't think he really gives a shit about "mishandled" email crap

i'm still on the side where things were getting a little too hot under the collar for trump and that was why comey had to go.

they definitely are a twisted bunch

I heard the Trumpies try to argue that it was Democrats fault, even Obama's fault Comey got fired. They were just doing what we called for.

They twist everything.
