He is now a liability.

Out lived his usefulness.

[berksdem]

17. Damn straight....

Absolutely correct....

[TheBlackAdder]

22. Comey should be lucky that, for now, being fired doesn't end in a pit with anti-aircraft gunnery.

[RegexReader]

85. for now

but am betting that the thought has crossed his mind a time or two.

[keithbvadu2]

62. You beat me to it.... Good one!

[Hortensis]

112. Lindsey Graham, heading a senate investigation,

supports the firing--officially. Very interesting. Normally I'd assume Rump should keep this dangerous adder close, but disassociation looks more like the move. Also, as said, likely Comey wasn't obstructing justice enough, new Russian connection "investigator" needed.

Had to laugh when I read about yet another falling out among thieves, though. So'd my husband when I just told him. Why am I remembering the Saturday Night Massacre when it's one man on a Tuesday?

“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau,” Mr. Trump said in a letter dated Tuesday to Mr. Comey.

"Given the recent controversies surrounding the director, I believe a fresh start will serve the FBI and the nation well," Graham said in a statement Tuesday.

18. Saturday Night Massacre

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Massacre

The Saturday Night Massacre was the term used by political commentators[1] to refer to U.S. President Richard Nixon's dismissal of independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and as a result the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus on October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal.[2][3]

Richardson had, in his confirmation hearings before the U.S. Senate, given the explicit promise not to use his authority to dismiss the Watergate Special Prosecutor, unless for cause.

When Cox issued a subpoena to President Nixon, asking for copies of taped conversations recorded in the Oval Office and authorized by Nixon, the President initially refused to comply. On Friday, October 19, 1973, Nixon offered what was later known as the Stennis Compromise—asking the infamously hard-of-hearing Senator John C. Stennis of Mississippi to review and summarize the tapes for the special prosecutor's office. Cox refused the compromise that same evening and it was believed that there would be a short rest in the legal maneuvering while government offices were closed for the weekend.

However, on the following day (a Saturday) Nixon ordered Attorney General Richardson to fire Cox. Richardson refused, and resigned in protest. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Cox. He also refused and resigned.[4][5]

Nixon then ordered the Solicitor General, Robert Bork (as acting head of the Justice Department), to fire Cox. Both Richardson and Ruckelshaus had given personal assurances to Congressional oversight committees that they would not interfere, but Bork had not. Although Bork later claimed that he believed Nixon's order to be valid and appropriate, he still considered resigning to avoid being "perceived as a man who did the President's bidding to save my job."[6] Nevertheless, having been brought to the White House by limousine and sworn in as Acting Attorney General, Bork wrote the letter firing Cox.[7]

Note: Bork was nominated by Reagan to the Supreme Court and when he had to withdraw it lead to the term "being borked".

Impact and legacy

Nixon was compelled to allow Bork to appoint a new special prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, to continue the investigation. There was a question whether Jaworski would limit the investigation to the Watergate burglary alone, or follow Cox's lead and also look at broader corrupt activities, such as the "White House Plumbers".[12] As it turned out, Jaworski also looked at broader corrupt activities.[13]

46. AGREE 1 million %!

[Stuart G]

108. I agree...but Trump will not be able to shut this down...Why?

Too many involved, too much hate from Trump, who is a dump....t
and much too late.....
for Trump to get a date...
to shut this down,
Trump is a clown
That is all I have to say...
On this very day...................thank you...

[Volaris]

129. Yep it begins.

On the plus side I suppose, it IS only tuesday. That counts as Winning?

Soooooo much winning.
SO much.

[NBachers]

131. Here's how the New York Times reported it:

[mrmpa]

87. That's what I just told my boyfriend............

that same exact thing, as we ate dinner. My boyfriend is clueless when it comes to politics. He had to look at his voter registration card, to see what party he was registered to. To my dismay, as he hates Trump, he's a registered republican.

Well I digress, I and had to explain the Saturday Night Massacre to him.

[Honeycombe8]

3. OMG! He's going to fire ANYONE and EVERYONE involved in the investigation and is unbiased.

He's shutting the investigation down, for all intents and purposes.

[dalton99a]

5. Yep.

[tblue37]

6. The Night of the Long Knives begins. nt

[tblue37]

7. That will probably do him much more damage in the long run, because it

makes him look as guilty as he obviously is.

[Honeycombe8]

33. All that matters is the official finding by the FBI. Not how it looks.

History will state the official finding. It may mention that he fired Comey during the investigation, but there's no proof or indication in that, for historical purposes, that it was to get a desired result.

Just like the FBI's finding that HRC was not guilty of any crime, but the alt-right was convinced she was a criminal. All that really matters is the official finding.

[Leith]

74. The Court of Public Opinion in the Short Run

is going to explode in howls of glee and outrage. After all we've been through, I'll take it.

[briv1016]

97. Don't count your chickens yet.

He'll probably have the new guy reopen the Clinton case while he's at it.

[Honeycombe8]

126. Oh, dear God, I hope not. I'd hate for her and the Dems to have to go thru that again.

I think he probably won't. It would open up a can of worms.

Remember how he said he'd insist on the investigation being reopened on Day One? Once he won, not a word on that.

[onethatcares]

23. trying to shut the investigation down

let's see which sycophant he appoints.

This is gonna get really interesting, more so than Watergate was by far.

[cstanleytech]

28. Hard to buy that line of reasoning though after the way Comey bent over backwards to rush to assist

Trump during the election.

11. Becoming more and more like Watergate - only worse

[NastyRiffraff]

70. The Saturday Night Massacre didn't work too well for Nixon

Let's hope history repeats itself.

[cstanleytech]

12. Alot of people including myself were already having a hard time trusting the FBI because

of Comey coming to Trump's aid in his hour of need during the election so how are we supposed to trust them if Trump is the one nominating the new person to lead it when we don't trust Trump and think he might be in bed and beholden to a foreign country?

[BeyondGeography]

13. Lordy!

[Nonhlanhla]

14. WTF?

Part of me feels schadenfreude since Comey is the one responsible for Trump's presidency, so serves him right to be stabbed in the back by the guy he helped put in power.

On the other hand, this looks very bad for Trump - almost like he wants to close down that pesky Russia investigation.

Stop by and say hi. You can even post about Them Cowboys!

[TomJulie]

67. LOL!! Good One, Mad!!

I may join you. Popcorn munchies!!

[cstanleytech]

44. But it would only be a temporary reprieve for anyone involved with the Russians as there

is no statute of limitations for treason so it doesnt make any sense to get rid of Comey especially since the help he provided to Trump during the last 2 weeks of the election probably helped tip the balance in Trumps favor.

[Judi Lynn]

16. Self-serving comment from Trump included in this statement.

From elleng's NY Times link:

“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau,” Mr. Trump said in a letter to Mr. Comey dated Tuesday.

Dual purpose firing letter: fired Comey, then announced to the world that Comey told him three times the FBI didn't find anything on him to prosecute.

Kinda tacky, isn't it?

[WePurrsevere]

72. Tacky yes and it's not like Trump doesn't lie on a daily basis.

If Trump's comment isn't true or if Comey just told him that because he couldn't tell him the truth, can Comey legally just say something or testify as a whistle blower?

.

[briv1016]

105. It would almost certainly be classified.

[Judi Lynn]

111. That would be spectacular. He would become a cleaner man, in the process! n/t

[nocalflea]

19. Sick ! Bad !

[Rebl2]

20. This makes him

look even more guilty! What's he going to do fire everyone at the FBI? He can't stop the Senate and House from doing their investigations.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

39. It sure made Nixon look very guilty in 1973. . . nt

[cstanleytech]

52. Big difference is though you probably could have gotten enough Repugnants on board back then to

do the right thing and support impeachment.
Now? I doubt enough of them even know anymore what the right thing is let alone know how to do it anymore.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

59. When they shift against tRump (and they will) it will be swift and massive.

At some point, tRump becomes a liability to the Republicans and they will turn against him in a flash. Sudden precipitation.

Firing Comey brought that a lot closer.

[cstanleytech]

69. I doubt enough will shift to make a difference especially the leadership who seem ok to go along

with whatever Trump does or says as long as it means he will sign the bills they order him to sign when they order him to sign it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

75. McCONnell won't shift. He's involved & his wife was paid off with a cushy cabinet appointment.

Ryan will probably jump ship, because he wants to take the Presidency in 2024.

For one thing, McCONnell blocked alerting state electoral commissions to the Russian hacking until it was too late for them to do anything about it.

125. No,

but how quickly have we seen the Senate and House investigating this? (Sorry, I'm anxious and really want his impeachment and the R's downfall to happen yesterday.)

Welcome to DU!

[sharedvalues]

21. Holy crap. Biggest moment in last 100 years, along with Cuban Missile Crisis and Pearl Harbor

This is a key moment.

Comey is investigating the president, no matter what you think of last fall.

Make no mistake, this is a COVER UP.

Does the GOP in Congress fall in line?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. Key. Hardly that big though. Ranks up with the Watergate Saturday Night Massacre though. . nt

[sharedvalues]

47. This is the beginning of the end.

Though I guess you're right the Sat Night Massacre was one month before "I am not a crook".


But a lot now rides on Dana Boente.
And Eric Schneiderman

55. I think its just behind the Night of the Long Knives. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

64. That was internal Nazi business & people died.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives

Firing Comey is national affairs and nobody has died so far.

Exaggerating the importance of this event devalues it.

This event is pivotal enough that it does not need hyperbolic exaggeration.

[cstanleytech]

65. Thats why I said just behind it rather than equal to it or worse. nt

24. Mafia presidency...

So when does he go full-circle and appoint one of his kids to run the FBI? And don't think for a second that this can't happen...

26. Can we convince the Senate to step-up it's investigation?

It seems to be the one part of government in which people still wield some influence.

[Turbineguy]

27. Will his replacement

still have a Russian accent?

I understand at their mole school they were taught accent-free English.

[tiredtoo]

30. MUST have an independant investigation! eom

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Sessions recused himself from the investigation. Sessions dismissing Comey is not proper

... to say the least. Not proper by his own standard when he recused himself.

But of course that is a blip in the bigger picture. Might be a hook to yank Sessions out, though.

[thesquanderer]

76. There's nothing in the article about Sessions. OP might be wrong about that. (n/t)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

82. Perhaps, but Trumps letter says "upon the advice of AG Sessions"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

86. tRump is so stupid he refers to himself and "under investigation" in the same sentence.

... appreciate you informing me ... that I am not under investigation

That breaks one of the cardinal rules about framing issues.

[font size = "+1"]It's like Nixon saying "I am not a crook." Of course everybody immediately thinks he is a crook.[/font]

Do not think of an elephant.

32. I lived in Miami during the seventies & eighties. As the cocaine dealers got more and more paranoid,

41. Don't forget--he also fired US attorney Preet Bharara, whose investigations

might well have been moving toward looking into Trump's swamp--or might already have been doing so. Certainly he was already investigating Tom Price.

Bharara was investigating Trump cabinet member before he was sacked

Fired US Attorney Preet Bharara was investigating a key member of President Trump’s cabinet, a new report Friday revealed.

Bharara was looking into allegations that Tom Price, the health and human services secretary and the administration’s point man on efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare, improperly traded health care stocks while he was a member of the House of Representatives, ProPublica reported.

[elleng]

60. Thanks for the reminder.

[MrPurple]

43. When Nixon tried to fire his special prosecutor (Archibald Cox), he faced backlash

A corrupt President being investigated by the FBI shouldn't have the power to dismiss the director. That post should be independent and require a formal impeachment proceeding.

This is a horrible situation now. Can you IMAGINE what the outcry would be if Hillary had won, Comey was still claiming to be investigating her emails and she dismissed him?

[OldRedneck]

45. They are going after Hillary and Bill

You can bet your ass the next FBI director and Jeff Sessions will re-open the investigation into Hillary's emails and Bill's meeting with Loretta Lynch.

The firing of Comey is the first step to "lock her up!!"

Count on it.

[BigmanPigman]

50. SH*T, I hope not but you're probably correct.

114. no doubt

that is the end game and to tie Chelsea to the Clinton Foundation to get a felony conviction on her to keep her out of public office.

Allow Trump to do what he wants?

[TeamPooka]

49. Our new FBI Director will probably be a set of Russian nesting dolls.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

51. Comey thought he could protect FBI & his job Oct. 2016 with the disgusting Hillary letter.

[BeyondGeography]

79. He was playing Boy Scout in his head

Plus he didn't want to eat Republican crap for the duration of HRC's presidency. Then Trump wins, which he didn't expect, and he gets canned anyway. That part is funny.

[no_hypocrisy]

58. In the tradition of J. Edgar Hoover, of course Comey has files on Trump and family and company.

Now Trump has to worry about his own WikiLeaks now that he fired Comey.

[still_one]

66. and there has to be redundancy in the FBI, so we will see what happens

destroy anything that links trump to Russia, but hopefully, there is redundancy at the FBI so he won't get away with it

[Bernardo de La Paz]

68. Maybe they will say Comey lied to Hillary about the Weiner laptop email nonsense.

Maybe tRump will say Hillary should have won and he will make her President.

132. Rimjob land is still around?

I'd sooner visit PornHub than that place.

[jmowreader]

77. There must be a reason beyond Comey's corruption

Corruption is a job requirement in the Trump White House. They wouldn't fire him JUST for being a crook, especially since everyone around Trump is a bigger crook than Comey is.

I can only think of two reasons Trump would do this: that Comey hasn't put Hillary Clinton in prison yet, or that Trump and Sessions think getting rid of Comey will keep him from coming down on Trump.

This plan is fraught with hazard: Comey hasn't put Hillary in prison because she hasn't done anything that would justify putting her there, and the problem with firing the guy who has the key to the closet with the skeletons in it...is they don't give the key back when they leave.

Trump knows he's fucked. Some of y'all have referenced the Saturday Night Massacre, but this is worse...because Trump's family is complicit in this scandal, Bernie Madoff would be a more accurate archetype than Richard Nixon. (Madoff may be closer than you think - the Trump Organization may actually be a ponzi scheme.)

[WePurrsevere]

78. Firing the person investigating Russiagate makes Trump look even more guilty. nt

[wiggs]

88. especially without addressing the public...especially without apparent reason. If he had good

reason, you would think we'd be hearing about it before it even happened...to make it clear he's not at all doing it because he's buggy, desperate, panicked, and guilty as hell.

But...crickets, for some reason allowing all kinds of speculation. Maybe because speculation is not as bad as the truth? Something must be imminent.

[Javaman]

89. nixon all over again but this time on meth. nt

[SunSeeker]

90. All of Trump's reasons for firing Comey existed at the time he asked Comey to stay on.

All those things listed in Rosenstein's May 9, 2017 letter existed when Trump gave him that hug in January and said he had full confidence in him. So obviously THAT is not the reason.

So what changed? Comey's statements last week in which he confirmed that the FBI is investigating Trump's ties to Russia. But that reason was not in Rosenstein's letter. Just like Flynn's firing was based on made up reasons.

Like Yates, Comey was fired for not defending Trump. That shows that no one working under Trump can be trusted to investigate Trump.

The Comey firing is the most compelling reason yet for an independent commission to investigate Trump/Russia, and for an independent special counsel to decide whether and how to prosecute.

[elleng]

92. Yes Yes Yes.

[LudwigPastorius]

93. It is past time for an independent prosecutor.

Hopefully, after the health care bill fiasco, there are at least some GOP Congressmen who now realize that defending Trump and signing onto his initiatives is literally a no-win proposition when the time comes for reelection.

They need to step up and endorse an independent investigation into Trump's traitorous ways by someone he can't fire.

106. So Sessions (who has recused himself) recommended that Comey (who leads the investigation) be fired

That happened? right?

Thank you morans who elected this douche bag.

[dlk]

113. I Wonder if Comey Sees the Irony

Comey lied about Hillary Clinton in a way that cost her the election, so Trump would win. Now Trump has fired Comey. Unless someone promised Comey a really great job or some such inducement in return, he sabotaged himself.
