Politics Trump Ordered Mueller Fired, but Backed Off When White House Counsel Threatened to Quit

I my view, the chief executive is completely correct to terminate an investigation into anything that has zero evidence to support opening the investigation. Simple whines from the opposition is not evidence. The FBi director is simple. He needed to be fired.


This would be true of any CEO. Who the hell would hire a lawyer to investigate any infraction were you have no evidence that it happened?

 

This is the law I know exists.
"
Article. II.

Section. 1.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. "

If you have one that overrides this one, please post the link.

 

Yes?

 

Barf folds.

 

No, I can recall the proceedings.

Those proceeding are even less likely to happen than finding any evidence to support it.

But then you error, hey? Article 4 does not override the fact that the President holds the executive power.

 

Thanks for the information barf.

So are the powers of Congress, everything takes a majority.

 

This is literally the dumbest shit ever.

The fact that you believe this shit is pretty fucking amazing and says more about you than it does about Liberals.

TRUE liberals want us to rid the world of ALL war and ALL nuclear weapons. Get your mind right...

 

That is not the reason Trump said he fired him for. So you just pulled that one outta your ass. Trump fired him because of the Rosenstein Memo but then lied about it afterward. There was NO mention of "insubordination".

Why Did Trump Fire Comey?
Trump said the “FBI has been in turmoil,” and a White House spokeswoman said “the rank and file of the FBI had lost confidence” in Comey.
“That is not accurate,” according to Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who said Comey “enjoyed broad support within the FBI, and still does to this day.”

Trump fired Comey on May 9. The White House issued a statement saying, “President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.”

Rosenstein wrote a two-and-a-half page memo with the subject line “Restoring Public Confidence in the FBI” that stated the reasons why Comey should be removed. The memo cited Comey’s “handling of the conclusion of the investigation of Secretary [Hillary] Clinton’s emails.” Rosenstein criticized Comey for holding a press conference on July 5, 2016, to publicly announce his recommendation not to charge Clinton, and for announcing on Oct. 28, 2016, that the FBI had reopened its investigation of Clinton.

Comey’s firing came less than two months after the director confirmed at a congressional hearing on March 20 that the bureau is investigating “whether there was any coordination between the [Trump] campaign and Russia’s efforts” to influence the 2016 presidential election.

In January, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a declassified intelligence report that found “Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election” with the goal of hurting Clinton and helping to elect Trump.

Democrats have criticized the timing of Comey’s firing, because of the ongoing investigation. But Trump administration officials said the decision had nothing to do with Russia.

On the night of Comey’s firing, CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway, “Why fire James Comey now?” She cited Rosenstein’s letter and his bipartisan credentials, noting that he was overwhelmingly confirmed as deputy attorney general.

Then Sanders comes out and says:

Sanders, May 10: I think he’s heard from the rank and file of the FBI, but particularly someone who had done a thorough review and someone who has the respect and reputation that the deputy attorney general has, he took that seriously. He took the recommendation seriously. And he made a decision based on that.

Trump's lyin ass says in the Lester Holt interview:

Holt, May 11: Monday you met with the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Trump: Right.

Holt: Did you ask for a recommendation?

Trump: What I did is, I was going to fire Comey. My decision. It was not —

Holt: You had made the decision before they came in the room.

Trump: I was going to fire Comey. There’s no good time to do it, by the way.

Holt: Because in your letter you said, “I accepted their recommendation.”

Trump: Well, they also —

Holt: So, you had already made the decision.

Trump: Oh, I was going to fire regardless of recommendation.

 

Make vague judgements/insults all you want but the actions of the liberal media don't reflect their 'peace loving' ways. That shit is laughable bro. TRUE liberals don't want war and conflict but they have no problem voting for a war mongering, corrupt ass Clinton.
