[Chained Prometheus]

Ummmmm.... WOW.

So obviously this makes Trump look guiltier than ever, but what does this mean for the FBI investigation?

 

[TVexperto]

Wow, this is almost like in Turkey with Erdogan, he just removes people from office who investigate him doesnt he??

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Trump bringing back his golden days

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

WHAT THE HELL EVEN HAPPENS NOW.

DID HE JUST SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE FUCKING INVESTIGATION?!?

This is what I'm wondering. Not being from the US I don't get how this works, but can't he just give the position to another Russian bought official?

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

WHAT

 

[Moppeh]

Holy fuck

 

[the_firewithin]

Like what the fuck can his treason be any more obvious now

 

[Guess Who]

On the one hand, fuck James Comey, but on the other hand, the sheer velocity at which we're descending into a straight-up dictatorship sure is dizzying.

 

[zero_suit]

Not a wise choice, but I'm not sad to see Comey go.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Jesus.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Wow.

 

[StoopKid]

 

[nintendoman58]

Seriously, What happens now? Did he really just Nix the entire investigation against him?!?

 

[Savitar]

So Comey, how did that email thing work out for you in the end huh.

 

[Atlagev]

It has only happened previously when FBI Director Sessions was dismissed by Clinton due to ethics violations.

Winners don't use drugs.

 

[SparkleMotion]

"This will stop the Russia investigation" says increasingly nervous President for 7th time this year

 

[Future PhaZe]

Deserved. Weird timing though.

 

[Xando]

Watergate repeat?

 

[whytemyke]

Guys, guys, it's ok. We still have the Republicans of the House of Representatives to do a thorough and judicious investigation to really get to the bottom of everything.

 

[kaskade]

Jesus. Does Trump really think this is going to make anything better.

 

[WedgeX]

Wait.

Wait.


Jeff Sessions pledged to recuse himself from the investigation, but he directly advises the president to fire the director of the FBI investigating him?




???

Yep!

The irony if they say it was for overstating the number of emails Hillary had forwarded.

 

[SolarPowered]

Open the floodgates, Comey. Let us be baptized in the golden showers already.

 

[Dan]

Wut.

 

[commish]

No, he's a moron

Now he looks super guilty to even casual observers

Trump supporters won't give a crap.

 

[RDreamer]

So, directly after testimony of someone fired by Trump directly after warning them of a national security advisor's lies and possibly being compromised he fires the FBI director in charge of the case against him?

Nothing to see here folks. Definitely no smoke.

 

[geomon]

This is officially a coup as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Buckle]

Not suspicious at all.

I've got nothing to hide but I swear to god I'll destroy if you try to prove it!

 

[Link]

Hope it was worth it, you hack. But at least your stomach was upset about what you did.

 

[Draper]

How the fuck can this be permissible during an FBI investigation of the fucking administration??

 

[-COOLIO-]

heheheheheheheheheheheheheheh

 

[Secret Character]

I take it Trump didn't study on what happened to Nixon, did he?

 

[Dynasty]

 

[Stone Ocean]

Fake news everybody, pay no mind to me firing this one guy

 

[Servbot #42]

Trump has every right to fire Comey, it just looks amazingly bad, especially now. Almost like it's punishment for some investigations that are related to Trump...

 

[CHC]

He's Nixon

I hope he suffers a worse end though. Like, Ceausescu style.

 

[oti]

This Tom Clancy novel gonna be good.

 

[DMczaf]

This my first time going "holy shit" to this investigation

It's fucking real...

 

[OmegaFax]

Dejavu. Totally worked out for Nixon, right? *sigh* This will not end well.

 

[Meowster]

Comey deserves this and worse but daaaaamn.

Very bad move Trump.

 

[VeryGooster]

Only one man for the job

 

[kingocfs]

LOL

 

[Neverthelesser]

Looks like Sessions was behind the decision. The plot thickens...

WASHINGTON — President Trump has dismissed the director of the F.B.I., James B. Comey, on the recommendation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Tuesday.

[balladofwindfishes]

Trump supporters won't give a crap.

Why would I care what they think? They'd vote for him no matter what

 

[Instro]

Wut.

Lol that cant be real.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

Is it legal for Trump to disclose that Comey told him he wasn't being specifically investigated?

 

[charpunk]

Yup. Totally innocent. Nothing to see here. Everything is normal.

 

[Meier]

This is some fuckery that is straight out of an HBO show. Comey got Wallaced.

Not to say I don't think he should have been fired given his shitty performance, but damn, firing the dude who got you hired is next level craziness.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Wut.

That second paragraph is perfection.

 

[WedgeX]

Wut.

That's an insulting letter.

 

[kaskade]

Wut.

lol at this fucking letter.
