I can't see how Trump could have kept him on. Seems loyal only to himself.

It is just another timely episode of Drain The Swamp.

The Libs hated him & screamed for his firing during the Hidabeasts emails.

Now, the Libs are furious @ the firing as Comey was getting too close the the Rooskies & President Trump being Putins bitch. The Libs are intolerable.

I dare say I'd like to see just about everyone working for the Federal government to be fired.

We really need to start afresh.

Maybe he can team up with Gecko 45 in a mall somewhere

Sooner or later the best Trapeze artists can slip, Comey is proof of that.

Comey reports directly to the Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein who was just very recently confirmed.

In my book, Comey put the nail in his coffin when he recommended to Lynch not to prosecute Clinton. And I also believe he was "directed" to do so in order for Lynch to wash her hands of the matter given the Bill Clinton tarmac meeting. He (Comey) no doubt felt guilty about these actions and that probably played a part in his October statements that Clinton now claims cost her the election.

The left will throw a hissy fit, but no matter. It's a done deal.

About time.

I think that yes, it is that bad-- and I agree with you. We had 28 years of governmental rot under HW Bush, Clinton, George W Bush and Obama.

A whole lot of people just won't accept that Donald Trump is President of the United States.

Some are finding out the hard way.

Maybe this had something to do with it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI on Tuesday corrected the sworn testimony of Director James Comey, who last week told Congress that a top aide to Hillary Clinton had sent “hundreds and thousands” of emails to her husband’s laptop, including some with classified information.

In fact, the FBI said in a two-page letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, only “a small number” of the thousands of emails found on the laptop had been forwarded there while most had simply been backed up from electronic devices. Most of the email chains on the laptop containing classified information were not the result of forwarding, the FBI said.

The apparent misstatements came during an hours-long hearing in which Comey was criticized for public comments during the election season, including his assertion during a July news conference at FBI headquarters that Clinton and her aides had been “extremely careless” in their handling of classified information.

He spoke at length at that hearing about Huma Abedin, a top Clinton aide, as he defended his decision to alert Congress 11 days before the election about the discovery of thousands of emails on a laptop belonging to former Rep. Anthony Weiner. The congressman, whose laptop was searched by the FBI as part of a sexting investigation, and Abedin separated last year.

Comey said he felt compelled to tell Congress that agents would need to take the time to review those emails, especially since he had already testified that the FBI had closed its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.

He said Abedin had a “regular practice” of forwarding emails to the laptop to be printed out for Clinton, saying at one point that “hundreds and thousands” had been forwarded, including some containing classified information.

“My understanding is that his role would be to print them out as a matter of convenience,” Comey said.

But in a letter Tuesday, the FBI said most of the emails found on the laptop “occurred as a result of backup electronic devices.” Ten email chains on the laptop were as a result of “backup activity,” according to the FBI’s letter, and an additional two had been forwarded.

The letter does not say how the misstatements occurred.

Comey said the FBI had concluded that neither Weiner nor Abedin had committed a crime in their handling of email.

With respect to Abedin, he said, “we didn’t have any indication that she had a sense that what she was doing was in violation of the law. Couldn’t prove any sort of criminal intent.”

He was dead to me when, after laying out a long list of Clinton's transgressions, he ends by saying that no prosecutor would take the case. Utter bs. Either he is grossly incompetent or was trying to suck up to both sides.

Das vedanya comrade Comey.

Agreed on all points.

Crooked Hillary may yet be the queen of the Big House.

Another layer of the onion peeled back.

In the end, Comey had no constituency at all in his corner. Between the GOP and the Democrats, nobody was completely happy with him and it appears the rank and file of the FBI was lost to him as well. He may have been handed a bum hand when Lynch met with Clinton on the tarmac and when Lynch further suggested soft pedal the investigation of Hilary. But when Comey scorched Hilary, but wouldn't make a criminal case, he cut his own throat. He tried to make a Solomon like judgment and couldn't pull it off.

As evidenced by the idiot Schumer

I am reading this as the new DoJ saying they won't let Comey dictate to them or do their job

Comey let Obama and Lynch off the hook. He just paid for it.

I am very pleased.
