I love watching the spin on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC, that Trump's firing of FBI Director Comey is absolutely because "Comey was requesting further funding" to investigate Trump administration collusion with Russia. I've yet to hear one fact to support that wild assertion from the liberal media.
Only when you turn to Fox do you hear that Trump as president has the absolute right to fire the FBI director (like many other appointed heads) at any time and replace him, and that he is completely within his rights to do so. Only on Fox do you hear that, with Schumer-led Democrat obstruction, it took Trump over a month after inauguration to get his Attorney General, and only 2 weeks ago get his deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein (aapproved 94-6). And only with that addition of staff was Sessions able to delegate Rosenstein to evaluate how to restore the morale and integrity of the FBI. And lo and behold, he quite predictably said that James Comey is the source of that low morale and public distrust, and only with him gone can internal and external trust in the FBI be restored. It's perfectly logical that Comey would be fired once there is staff to re-tool the FBI. The announcement was at about 5:50 PM Tuesday, right before the 6PM news hour, that to me demonstrates some degree of calculation, for all the wailing about the firing being senseless.
Only on Fox News do you see the clips showing the hypocrisy of Democrats like Schumer, Reid, Durbin and Pelosi, who very recently called for Comey's resignation or firing as essential, and called Comey's actions blatantly corrupt, outrageous and untrustworthy. To be sure, there is hypocrisy in Trump saying before Comey was doing a "great job" and then suddenly saying he had to be fired for his incompetence. But Trump arguably initially needed Comey through the transition period. It's only logical that once Trump now has other staff in place, he's ready to cut Comey loose. But the actions by Comey, both his July speech saying "no reasonable person would prosecute" Hillary Clinton, while simultaneously making the case to indict her, and then days before the election re-opening the investigation, then again days after closing it, are abundant evidence that Comey was not following the rule of law and warranted being replaced at any moment.
The hysterical protests of the liberal media otherwise, raising wild conspiracies that Comey was fired to shut down the investigation of a Trump-Russia collusion, are just so much horseshit, without a shred of evidence to support it. Pure smear. Comey was director of the FBI, with thousands of agents, whether Comey is there or not, dozens of agents continue that investigation.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
