CNN just reported the Trump will not be making a public statement about this tonight. That's just rich. But he will probably tweet about it before he finally does make a public statement.

Hopefully Comey was smart and has the dirt somewhere and hopefully there are others at the FBI in the know who will be honest and transparent...or sneaky and release the stuff through a wiki-leaks type way if they can't do it above board.

I just hope there are some/any ethical republicans who will stop this cover up. My fear is that there is not. Not enough of them.

If Sessions was recused from this investigations due to his Russia connections, and the firing was based upon a recommendation by Rosenstein, (Yates replacement) who was only confirmed on April 25, how much of an investigation was done to fire Comey? Less than 18 days ../
I suspect that Trump and Sessions had this underway a long time, and is using the situation of the July statement regarding Hilary emails, as a diversion as to the real reason Comey was fired. He is too close to the truth.
And the statement of "notifying me three times that I was not under investigation"" methinks you protest too much. (looking at you crazy orange dictator)

Lindsey Graham: "Given the recent controversies surrounding the Director, I believe a fresh start will serve the FBI and the nation well."
So if you were hoping for some ethical Republicans, you can stop hoping.

It's starting to resemble a very bad movie.
I hope Comey has stuff and releases it all. I can't wait to see Trump go down in flames. What a fucking asshole.

While I agree all of you in principle, and I know Trump is a moron, one thing gives me pause. There has got to be SOMEONE on his team who realizes how suspicious this firing looks, in terms of the timing. Given that, I think it's too little, too late for Trump to get away with a cover-up. I hope anyway. That Maclean's article makes a convincing case that this firing could be Trump overplaying his hand & cutting his own throat.

Someone may have to throw themselves on the sword and release stuff that they aren't authorized to release. That's our only hope. And if someone has the balls to come out and say they still believe in Trump, get ready to have those balls stomped on.

I'm sure the FBI has the dirt or at least some soil... Trump thinks he is going to get away Scot free. I want to see the smirk wiped off his face once and for all.

"Something really important to note here: Rosenstein is citing Comey's actions with regard to HRC as a justification for the firing.
PAY ATTENTION: they are trying to manipulate HRC supporters into believing that this is NOT about Russia.
DON'T BE FOOLED. This is completely about Russia. Whatever Comey did with regard to HRC, this is about Russia. FULL STOP.
They could have fired him January 20th. They waited until the day after Sally Yates testified about an FBI Counter-Intel investigation against the Trump administration.

He was attacking Hillary at every turn, praising wikileaks and telling people he was going to jail Hillary upon his election.

John Mc Cain's statement
While the President has the legal authority to remove the Director of the FBI, I am disappointed in the President’s decision to remove James Comey from office. James Comey is a man of honor and integrity, and he has led the FBI well in extraordinary circumstances. I have long called for a special congressional committee to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. The president’s decision to remove the FBI Director only confirms the need and the urgency of such a committee.”

Obviously, he's never heard about Watergate. My thoughts exactly. Now the question is, are those assholes in Congress going to let him appoint some toady who will make the investigations disappear? I'm not holding my breath.
