Spoke too soon. Now the media is reporting that Trump has fired him. Why can't the media get it straight from the get-go? By the time I got back inside for fixing a dock, they had it right. This instant news is not always correct news. I suppose, technically he did resign tho, at the request of the president. Trump seems intent on firing anyone getting too close to his Russian shenanigans. Maybe. I don't think so though. Comey's recent appearance at the Congressional hearing was pathetic. He was almost emotional, trying to explain the actions he took regarding the Clinton e-mails. Not exactly what one would expect from the Director of the FBI. But, from what is being reported by the media, his firing has been a long time coming and it was actually the Assistant Attorney General who made the case for canning him, not Sessions. One other thing I heard that was "news" to me: Comey didn't officially re-open the Clinton investigation last October (after saying it was closed) as the media has continuously reported. He simply sent a letter to the congressional committees investigating the issues, along with other congressional leaders stating that the emails on Weiner's laptop that was being looked at in an unrelated case contained Clinton emails as well. He was just advising congress that they would be looked at. It was someone in Congress who splashed the story of "re-opening" the investigation that was picked up and repeated by the media. |
