(6,991 posts)tRumputin may have technically acted within the law, but for him to fix his lips to say that he got rid of Comey because of how unfair he was to her in releasing Hillary's emails 11 days from the election is the biggest whopper ever told in history. tRumputin ran on Comey butting into the GE, but more recently Comey et all were getting too close, and you best believe putin told his puppet to get rid of him.
As for Comey himself, I believe that there was a reason he did what he did in bringing up Hillary's emails 11 days before the GE which was the final cherry on top amongst other things that lead to her losing to putin's puppet. Hell, I've always and still believe that Comey was being blackmailed by "someone" who had something big on him, and who also didn't want Hillary to win the presidency.
Finally, I surely don't trust thuglicans to object WHEN tRumputin installs his very own puppet to head the FBI. This bunch values party over country. Like I also said, tRumputin is mentally declining, and was scared and knew Comey was getting close to him, but he's cognizant enough still to want total and complete power at any cost being the raging, raving, megalomaniac that he IS no matter how it looks to anybody, plus, he owes a lot to that other part of his Kremlin Klan and has to pay up or else.
