A little birdie told me that the agents in our local FBI office were in tears. They are a tight knit group of career public servants. Like myself, and others they were also angry and appalled by the disgusting way the announcement was delivered.

(17,492 posts)How he did it was so very, very wrong. So disrespectful. I think he has lost the FBI for good. I don't see them "getting over" that. I do see it motivating the hell out of them to take him down.

It could be the greatest thing Comey ever does : get fired. Because the media has been woken up and seem to, ignoring FOX (who are not real media), going after Trump in unison, smelling blood in the water.
I was a strong Sanders supporter. And I agreed with some who smelled bad things with these emails. But I do not agree with Comey's handling of this a week or so before the election. He put Trump in the White House.
I was pessimistic that Trump might get away with it after he fired Comey. I'm not as pessimistic now. Things like the above are encouraging. Having family members who have been in law enforcement going back more than 100 years, what the FBI agents did maybe hits home a bit more.

(9,775 posts)"A senior-level FBI source was more candid. If Trump has declared war on the bureaus leadership, the source said, then the president should expect nothing less in return. "

(37,648 posts)How dare you trash Comey publicly after firing him! How DARE you!
He really is trying to ruin Comey personally, and his career. This is PERSONAL. Comey wouldn't give his oath of loyalty to Trump personally, as Trump demanded.

He'll come out in leg irons, cuffs, and an orange jump suit.

(2,037 posts)His firing - like everything else Cheeto does - was shameful and shameless, yes; but Comey's malfeasance cost Hillary the election.
Let's not forget that.

(10,532 posts)Comey can still redeem himself - but only by leveling with the American people and sharing what he knows.

(9,684 posts)Chaffetz intercepted it, declassified it, then tweeted it before disclosing to any Democrats. Chaffetz is currently under investigation in Utah for this abuse of office.
Comey messed up because the NY Field Office went rogue under his watch. Together with Chaffetz and Guiliani, they outflanked Comey and ultimately made him the scapegoat.
That is my conspiracy theory at least.

(6,882 posts)tweets, etc from FBI agents saying they support the firing!
Good Grief, this WH is a runaway train of complete dolts and bald-faced liars. Nonstop, each and every day.
Special Investigation, Special Prosecutor, Impeachment! Now!

(7,963 posts)A great number of the rank and file that were happy about the firing. She got called on that assertion too. I mean, really. WHY/HOW would she know "So many" rank and file in the fbi?
WHAT A HOT MESS. I am so thankful these people are mindnumbingly incompetent.
