(15,235 posts)Recent presidents fire CIA directors more often than I change tires; and I drive an large, old truck with a camper... Still the Central Intelligence Agency is unpredictable and obscure - on foreign shores - in deadly ways. No CIA director can obtain a "need to know" status into ALL agency activity. Most likely, firing Director Comey did not cancel multiple, independent FBI investigations into Trump's illegal activity. And then, there's that special prosecutor issue recent testimony by Comey initiated. Let's face it: Trump is a lying, cheating, criminal, who will be brought to justice. Unlike "W" (another criminal) Trump lacks the intelligence, old money and political clout of the Bush family. Unlike Georgy Junior, Trump is a self proclaimed racist. with antisemitic tendencies, who appears to thrive on tweeting['i] crap that makes even his staunchest supporters cringe.
