Firing Comey was a Cover-up

The firing of Comey is a cover-up. The only people too stupid to figure this out are the people who voted for him in the first place. You can't refute my argument.

The abruptness and timing of Comey's dismissal, to put it mildly, is highly suspicious.

Just over a week ago, Comey talked about his agency's investigation into Russian meddling in the US presidential election - and possible Russian ties to the Trump campaign - before a Senate committee.

He was scheduled to appear before Congress again to discuss "worldwide threats" on Thursday.

Trump has been tweeting almost non-stop about how the allegations are a "hoax" and the investigations are a "taxpayer funded charade".
Now the man overseeing that investigation has been fired by Trump.

Is it a cover up if I fire a subordinate at work who wastes company time and money investigating CEO ties to aliens despite repeated lack of any credible proof and clear evidence he's only doing it because he hates the CEO?


Why is this any different?

The "russians hacked election" narrative is like a bad joke that wont stop. Enough.

The President has this power.

Liberals don't like him because he made them look really stupid.

They are trying to destroy him but only have blind anger. They can't even stop saying "FUCK WHITE PEOPLE" in 90% of (((their))) articles. I'm not too worried.

It's funny watching them suddenly get pissed about the stuff Trump is doing when Obama did the same damn thing.

its a cover up if you fire an employee investigating YOU the day before he has a meeting with your superior about his findings

so yeah, but nice try completely misrepresenting the situation to your own benefit.

I'm not going to argue with an anti-semite.

You have to be fucking retarded.

If Comey has dirt on Trump or his people, him being fired means there is no reason for Comey to not divulge all he knows.

I wished so much that Trump was a muh russia plant.
Maybe you should go back to plebbit then, kikelover.

>he has informed me, on three sperate ocassions, that i am not under investigation.

NIce bait but as they clearly stated, he was fired because of his mishandling of the clinton email investigation, in particular his public statements after the investigation was halted. The criticism of Hillary at that point was simply inappropriate and Trump's principles meant that Comey had to go.

why are you putting the blame on trump when he was recommended to fire comey by others? because he took the advice of people you would likely consider to be more competent than him?

>acting like Trump murdered Comey
>now comey can't talk, he ded
>comey had super secret info the world will never know because he took it to his grave

t. average liberals

wow, you're such a tool.

that part about being informed three times that he was not being investigated is why I love Trump. His childlike innocence when he is spouting bullshit is adorable and is why he will get away with it unlike say Nixon or a Clinton.

Which hints that he has nothing substantial to divulge. Trump wants to take away Comey's platform and voice.

While the White House has said that the move is based on concerns over how Comey handled last year's investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server, that is unlikely

Recall last year, just a few days before election day, how Trump praised Comey for his handling of the email inquiry.
"It took guts for Director Comey to make the move that he made in light of the kind of opposition he had where they're trying to protect her from criminal prosecution," Trump said at a campaign rally. "It took a lot of guts."
Trump, it seems, has soured on the FBI director - and, according to the New York Times, had been seeking a reason to fire him for more than a week.
If the dismissal was because of the email investigation, why act now? How the Trump White House answers that question will go a long way toward determining whether the cover-up allegations die down over time.

actually you're the tool, I can tell from the typing style.... you are obviously coordinating with the leaf-poster who is also paid to be here, every time you offer a non-argumentative post to support the leaf whenever he gets btfo

it's like clockwork

got any comments on the fact that trump was following the recommendation of others and not firing people on a whim like you insinuate?

Millions of Americans learned yesterday that the FBI director actually works for the DEPUTY Attorney General. That's right - not the AG, not the President.

Comey got too big for his shoes, trying to act bigger than he was. He is subordinate to the man who recommended firing him.

Comey thought he was bigger than his new boss, the new DAG, and got burned. Comey also failed to follow through on investigations, using the Bureau to guard the political flanks of the powerful. He deliberately botched the investigation into Clinton, Weiner and the Awan brothers and kept open a Russian influence investigation in order to push a political narrative.

FBI rank and file never thought Trump had the balls to fire him, but it's a huge relief that they can restore integrity to the Bureau.

"Muh Russia" narrative is empty pablum.

Sessions and Rosenstein wanted Comey gone. They wrote a letter telling Trump as much. Trump shit canned Comey. No idea why, but Sessions has overseen over 2000 arrests on child pornography and human trafficking since he assumed office. And he's likely climbing the food chain.

>The firing of Comey is a cover-up
No numbnuts, the cover up was what led to his being fired. Including but not limited to:
Comey saying pre-election "yes hil cheated and lied under oath, and yes anyone else would have been prosecuted. And yes anyone who ever lies to the FBI again WILL get prosecuted but no, not hil or her buddies, no not this time"
The FBI interviewing suspects together, not recording interviews.
The FBI hiding emails, laptops, BlackBerries, plus other evidence from investigators
FBI taking control of investigation into corruption from dems and hil FROM the NYPD who were ready to dig and ready to unload on their involvement in child, sex and drug trafficking; pay to play; corruption; treason;etcetc
FBI stamping out efforts at investigation of the above by field offices.
Not firing McCabe who's been directing this shit this whole time.

Not to mention Comey went before a Senate committee a few weeks ago and effectively said they knew about Rice and Obama pulling phone and email logs from the Trump campaign during the election.

That was the cover up leaf.
Saged

are you just copy pasting from media matters at this point?

This reasoning is beyond retarded. You do realize he's still going to testify, right? By your logic Trump fired him in an effort to keep his mouth shut but now if anything about his apparent ties to Russia are true, Comey would be even more intent on spilling the beans.
I cannot fucking wait until Comey testifies and you disillusioned left wing retards get a big fat nothingburger once again.

Comey made several misstatements about the Clinton investigation at his recent hearing which proves incompetence or a cover up, take your pick. That was the final nail in the coffin for him. He should have been fired much eaflier for usurping the role of attorney general by letting Loretta lynch off the hook from prosecuting Clinton. He invented an intent requirement for mishandling classified documents out of thin air when it doesn't exist in the statute. He permanently tarnished the moral authority of the FBI with his partisan politics and its obvious trump waited until sessions was confirmed before firing him for the sake of appearances, although comey gave him a gift with his recent debacle.

oh dumb leaf.. you mean the comey testimony where he said he has investigated trump/russia for a year and found nothing? maybe he was fired cause sending a single classified email is a crime, and wieners laptop was fair game to investigate from his sex crimes

>You can't refute my argument.

Why do you say this before your actual argument?

And then Comey pussied out or more likely was compromised

Could someone explain to a foreign idiot what Comey is all about?
>investigates Clinton e-mails and says there was no conclusive evidence of criminal intent (democrats call process a waste of taxpayer money and thank him for his hard work, republicans call bullshit)
>says further probes are being made into the case during the elections (democrats say he is trying to rig it in favor of Trump, republicans see justice being made)
>gets fired (democrats point to a cover-up by Trump, republicans say it's because of the mishandling of the Clinton investigation)

Whose side is he on?

Seriously I was a trump supporter but this is going over the line. There is a fine line between democratic power and dictatorship. Need I remind anyone of a certain person who rose to power that way?

the counterargument to this shitpost is in the argument itself. When he testified to the senate last week, he fucked up like 3 times, to the point that his Deputy had to send a letter to the senate clarifying some remarks, he was fired almost immediately after that letter surfaced.

You cannot fuck up that type of thing at this level

many clinton/obama appointed people agreed he is a fuck up. Even if Trump fired Ivanka the left would complain.

fuck off CTR shill

why are you on /pol then?

Hey Comey. Give the DOJ your evidence to crimes by Susan Rice, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton with crimes.

No

Ok Your fired.

You really think the FBI is holding onto some super secret evidence of Russian collusion? You really think the FBI is the one government organization that isn't filled with rabid anti Trump people who would leak out damning evidence (or rumors, or literally anything they think may make him look bad) to the press the nanosecond they receive it?

You're placing a lot of faith in the rank and file retards of our government. They've let you down a thousand times over the last 2 years with their promises of taking Trump down. What's one more, right?

doesn't matter, he's out

The evidence against Hilary and her associates (Abedin, Weiner) was so overwhelming that the fact that Comey didn't recommend prosecution aligns him with the Democrats, which is where his career in politics started. He admitted they broke the law but claimed "no reasonable prosecute would press charges" because he couldn't prove intent. There are so many issues with his decision that it's hard to begin. He also declined to offer immunity to anyone being investigated for the "Russian election hacking" probe which appears to have no solid evidence, yet he handed it out like candy to Clinton and her associates when real evidence (proof really) existed of their crimes.

This is a fucking retarded line of thinking. If Comey knew something damning to Trump, wouldn't he just run to MSNBC right after he got fired to shout to the world about muh Russia

It would be a cover-up if there was actual evidence to suppress.So far, Comey hasn't provided even a turd nugget of evidence.

>hurr durr im smart drumpf lol

>proceeds to post meaningless conjecture and flimsy allegations

Nice try leaf.

>leaf
Hans, get the rake.

>you can't refute my argument
I can in much shorter text than your sperg wall sharia leaf.

The Democrats and ranking Democrat members of the Senate have been calling for comey to be fired even before the Clinton email shit over leaks at the fbi. The email stuff just made them even more angry. Several ranking Republicans have done the same.

There is in fact rare bipartisan consensus that he should be fired that only went out the window in the last two weeks when demoshits realized that him being gone would tank their fucking Russia narrative.

Even so in the latest congressional hearings both sides were very openly fed up with the guy.


Comey was fired because he is the most incompetent fbi agency head in decades someone even Obamas supporters did not like from the start. He is supposed to be the countries top cop yet he let the fbi run a cp server for two weeks let guns get into the hands of drug cartels and failed to catch either Hillary or Flynn.

That is why he was fired there is no fucking cover up you sperging kike the only cover up is that your masters in the media and deep state want us all dead by any means necessary.

You marxists started this war. Never forget that. We will finish it now.

This.

Assuming he isn't a hysterical faggot who wouldn't have leaked any damning evidence about him to the media the second he learned of it before he got fired.

Seriously, every potentially bad thing about Trump gets reported immediately. Why do liberals honestly believe that the people telling them what they want to hear aren't completely retarded THIS TIME

this

I'm not Russian, nor am I a Trump supporter. I'm no Republican, either.

That being said, I think that Democrats are just as hysterical, unreasonable, and shrill as the Tea Party movement was in 2009.

In fact, Democrats are so fucking annoying right now that I can no longer associate with them.

Democrats need to wise the fuck up or voters will turn to alternative parties. I know I won't be voting Dem or Repub in 2018.

Holocaust deniers have better and more nuanced arguments than anyone saying Trump is in bed with Russia.

>Oh fug, comeis ore beg

Democrats now are a worse danger to the US than Russia.

/thread

>seriously
>crash and burn
>nuclear codes
(You) idiot

You had better fucking believe as soon as word got out the Trump fired him that MSNBC and CNN were on the phone with their lawyers and the Comey's people begging him to come in and tell them everything. The thing is, there's obviously nothing to fucking tell. This Russian hacker shit is getting very old. Like, I am baffled people actually believe this shit, when there is no evidence or proof pointing to this. How the fuck did this even start? Did someone just pull a random country out of their ass and accuse Trump of being in bed with them? What the fuck?

>Trump fired Comey
>Rod Rosenstein made a recommendation that Comey be fired to Jeff Sessions, who then fired Comey
>But it was totally Trump guys

Stating that your argument is irrefutable is an obvious indicator that it's flimsy.

god damn, this. comey will probably still testify.

its not like they killed him, this isnt north korea.

Early on, Trump said he thought Putin was a strong leader and Putin went on an American show like Larry King or some shit and said he would look forward to working with Trump if he won. This is like summer/fall of 2015, way early on. It was fairly unprecedented for an American politician to not have an unconditional hate boner for Russia so the left wing Dale Gribbels have been sitting on the story for a few years and deluded themselves into weaving a grand conspiracy web around the fact that Trump doesn't want to nuke a country that hasn't been our enemy in almost 3 decades.

>a cover up

yeah, firing a bureaucrat who had nothing to do with the investigation other than reading reports from his agents is somehow a cover up when it was a brutal public firing.

if there was any real intel on trump collusion, the odds that its going to come out have drastically increased. Comey is still testifying before both houses investigation committees. There's no politics to hold him back now. If Trump was afraid of Comey or the the FBI investigation he wouldn't have just fired him.

Why are people so retarded and think investigations lie only with one person in the FBI?

I guess that is how this whole mess got started. But didn't Obama, and I think Bush as well, say they want to reset relations with Russia and start clean? Why is it all of a sudden some grand conspiracy.

I go on Sup Forums sometimes and you should hear some of the shit leftists spew when their retarded theories aren't challenged. Apparently Trump is actually broke, and Putin funded Trump's ENTIRE campaign and lifestyle in order for him to run so he owns America now and Trump committed treason. If you say "hey, that's fucking retarded", they'll spam old Soviet anthems.

>You can't refute my argument.
Ok. Report submitted! This window will close in 3 seconds...

Cover up of what?
Trump's letter firing comey even said that Comey confirmed THREE TIMES that Trump wasn't under investigation

Iran only highly suspicious because youbare assuming there is something nefarious to hide despite no proof of it

Like all lefty bullshit you start with the presupposition that trump is some kind of evil nazi traitor and because of that anything he does is framed as trying to keep you from proving it

Comey was tainted by the clinton cover up and calibrated foot dragging over the Russian wiretapping fiasco.

Go tell your lies somewhere else.

I dunno, maybe boomers are getting old and can just never let the cold war go so they'll always have an inherent distrust of Russians. Not sure what's wrong with younger people, maybe they heard a pussy riot song and were like "wtf I hate Russia now"

i should have screencapped this comment on the washington compost article i was reading, it was something to the effect of

>the traitorous Putin, who commands America entirely, should be hung for selling out the Soviet Union and now Russia.

the underlying reason alot of these people despise Russia is b/c they aren't the Soviet Union Commies they once were.

>Comparing an investigation that's had multiple appointed officials resign or recuse themselves because of conflict of interests to an investigation about aliens.

top kek. see you at the impeachment hearings.

>my employee is a liar
>I shouldnt fire him for being a liar
Ok, but when are you getting your Berniebux back?

Delusion: the post

Putin facts
>grandfather was in lenins inner circle
>parents fought at Leningrad
>he has twin olde brothers that starved at Leningrad as small children
>he was in the KGB
>he later became mayor of St. Petersburg (Leningrad)
>he helped orchestrate the removal of Yeltsin
>he seeks to reassert the former soviet sphere
>has stated the dissolution of the ussr was the largest disaster of the 20th century

Yeah putin doesn't bleed Soviet st all

>Trump's finished this time
>I'm serious guys, it's over for him
>w-why are you laughing, he messed up
Okay

This is a nice pasta

It certainly looks like it. Who the fuck types like that?

>we have the tapes
>nobody was wiretapped
>we have the tapes

It's not a cover up. He hates Comey and jumped at the chance to fire him when Rosenstein suggested it.

He also fired him in the coldest way possible.

He let Comey get comfortable with his job. He fires him on a Tuesday while he's in LA.

Comey found out he was fired via cable news. That's some cold shit.

Trump didn't care how it looked, he wanted the dude out of there.

>he acted as judge, jury and executioner and effectively violated the FBI's tenets for honour and restraint
You forgot that

This..

You know what you fucking libshits? I am sick and fucking well tired of this "Muh Russians" narritive! So are the people who are living life day by day. Why can't you be more fucking concerned with other shit like Detroit is being poisoned with Lead in their water? But no, you still believe this MUH RUSSIANS bullshit! There has been no fucking proof and time and time again when it has been shown that the narrative is fucking false, yet you still cling unto it! Do us a favor, if you do not want fucking real discussion or want to hear the Truth then go eat your shit nugget steak and fuck off.

The shit that broke the camels back was probably his exchange with Blumenthal and the Democrats at the hearings.

Trump didn't take calls or make a statement after firing him. He probably wanted to relish firing Comey.

Trump probably had sex with Melania and then had a bubble bath or something.

You forget that the FBI also investigated Trump's alleged ties to Russia, using the piss dossier to get a FISA warrant. In other words, he oversaw and allowed a politicized investigation using bullshit evidence.

Comey was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He couldn't recommend charges for Hillary because Lynch (who would oversee the prosecution of Hillary) would purposefully botch the case. So he did the next best thing: announce the possible reopening of the case one week before the election.

None of this explains why he even allowed the FISA warrant to go through. Maybe he really thought it was worth looking into. Maybe he was pressured by higher powers.

Ive decided to get "Russian Hacking" tattooed on my chest in reverse, so I can be reminded of this shite until I die.

A cover up? The entire FBI and the rest of the IC has the information available to them.

Comey lied on the record multiple times, was self-righteous, interfered with the election, became a political figure, and wasn't transparent whatsoever..

Both parties hated him, and it's clear to everyone that the outrage has been manufactured by the left to cause political controversy.

The tattoo is kind of redundant, because I'm sure you'll never heard the end of it. Evidence is always just a few days away from coming out.

The "investigation" was just creating a bunch of negative propaganda based on literally lies and made up stories. They never once found anything and had to admit many times on record that they had no proof of anything. And yet the media liars sit there on TV going

THE INVESTIGATION INTO TRUMPS COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA IS ONGOING

TRUMPS COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA: WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT

AND NOW WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TRUMPS COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA: HERE WHAT THIS ONE SENILE OLD MAN SAID WHEN WE PAID FOR HIS DRUGS

Then you read the article or watch the segment actually and it's nothing, again. It's always fucking nothing, because there was no collusion with Russia and all the media liars are doing is trying to stop Trump from getting things done with a never-ending smear campaign. The fact that our FBI director was willing to play along with this for political reasons is absolutely disgusting.

Ups

>Screws up testimony so bad the FBI has to send a letter to the Senate apologizing
>Gets fired

Almost like Trump is firing people that are bad at their job.

As a business owner Ive taken the hint from Google and allow all my staff one day a week, to investigate my private affairs.

Some of the guys in distribution I understand are using Sup Forums to implicate me in some local unsolved aggravated sexual assaults from the mid 90's.

Jen in payroll has made contact with my ex wife and as I understand it is now pretty much up to speed on my relationship with my now bisexual wife and my estranged son. (thanks for the heads up jen).
Larry in accounts is looking into my college years and has unearthed some videos of me off my face on solvents.

YOU NEED TO GO BACK

No, because he'd still have to testify in court about it anyway. Also because testifying in court would have more meaningful impact than rushing off to any given news agency.

>Democrats are just as hysterical, unreasonable, and shrill as the Tea Party movement was in 2009
The Trump/Russia thing is their birther movement.

The birther movement didn't even matter, since Obama had American citizenship through his American mother. And, the birther movement claimed he was born in Kenya, something that (arguably) would never have been claimed if he was white. The fact that Ted Cruz' being Canadian received less scrutiny is proof of that. So, Obama let it go on for a white, because it made right-wingers look stupid and racist.

The Trump Russia investigation has been going on for nearly one year now, and multiple intelligence officials have publicly stated that there's no evidence, even Obama-aligned intelligence officials like Clapper. And that's with a FISA warrant obtained with an obvious bullshit piss dossier. So Trump lets it go on, because it makes the left look stupid and russophobic. The comparisons to McCarthyism write themselves, except McCarthy was occasionally right.

Nobody on the right or the middle buys the Russia narrative. It just looks like a sad attempt to blame someone other than Hillary for losing.

In the ancient Egyptian tradition The Clinton Gang this afternoon are preparing Comeys body for ritual burial.

As Comey is ceremoniously washed and reclothed in the garments of high rank. He will maintain his silence through out as he is sealed into an alabaster sarcophagus. only to be open many millennia from now after an entire galactic cycle. Only then will Comey be released and then break his silence by addressing the distant progeny of humankind & our galactic overlords with the full story of russian hacking.

>The firing of Comey is a cover-up. The only people too stupid to figure this out are the people who voted for him in the first place. You can't refute my argument.
compelling argument you got there

>The abruptness and timing of Comey's dismissal, to put it mildly, is highly suspicious.
Of all the shit wikileaks unveiled about clinton and her corrupt bullshit, trumps comments about pussygrabbing was more important, but *THIS* is highly suspicious.
>Just over a week ago, Comey talked about his agency's investigation into Russian meddling in the US presidential election - and possible Russian ties to the Trump campaign - before a Senate committee.
The only "proof" ever presented were twitter bots and social-media accounts that used to shill for russian intervention in ukraine, shifted focus to shill for trump prior to election.
That, and empty media hyperbole, is literally all they fucking got.

>He was scheduled to appear before Congress again to discuss "worldwide threats" on Thursday.
>Trump has been tweeting almost non-stop about how the allegations are a "hoax" and the investigations are a "taxpayer funded charade".
Now the man overseeing that investigation has been fired by Trump.
Insubordination have consequences, who would have thought? He should be fired when he spectacularly failed to do his job regarding the clinton foundation investigation.

If he did, I for one wouldnt dismiss him like an illoyal democrat puppet.

I loled out loud you stupid moosefucker.

But the walnuts are still moving

Who in the FBI said Trump was going down? I want to read that

These posts are all written in office cubicles and were reviewed by Brock, before the bot got paid.

This the best job you can get? What does your father think of the "man" his son has become?

He can still be deposed to testify, you stupid faggot.

Sage goes in all windows.

KILL YOURSELF SHILL

STILL DESPERATELY GRASPING AT STRAWS

>he'd still have to testify in court about it anyway
tomorrow, right?

>Days before he was fired, James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, asked the Justice Department for a significant increase in money and personnel for the bureau’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the presidential election, according to three officials with knowledge of his request.

...

The president has the power to fire the FBI director you enormous faggot. It doesn't make him a dictator in the least.
