Comey, as an unelected official, seems to have usurped the DOJ. He was a cop (who in his spare time was an attorney) who was supposed to gather evidence, not prosecute. He was a catcher who decided he was a pitcher. Joe DiGenova sums it up concisely:

And in advance, this is for any motherfuckers triggered by reality:

But the public may not always understand that the FBI does not have the job of deciding who should, or should not, be prosecuted for crime. It was created to do investigations – period. When it finishes one of its probes, it can and usually does make recommendations, but someone else has the job of deciding what to do with the results of those investigations – an actual prosecutor.

Krunk, this is from the link you shared. Wouldn't this mean it was his place to recommend charges?

 

To Psyral and Krunk, why do you think the White House changed the rationale behind the firing of Comey?  

To clarify, recommendations by cops are irrelevant. The FBI can or cannot recommend whatever it likes, & it's the prosecutors' job in the DOJ to pursue a case. Comey was paraded around to distract from the Clinton cartel and Lynch. I don't see the White House doing anything abnormal. I think they axed Comey because he doesn't seem to be a team player; he's a bloody pebble in a bloody shoe, a megalomaniac, he needed to move bitch, get out tha way, etc...

If this were the case, don't you think they would have just listed all of the reasons from the get go? It would have saved them a whole lot of grief with the press.  

I think the press is being given enough rope to hang itself. Bring on the grief. It's just clickbait for victims to whine about while the alphas strengthen our world.

According to recent polls, Trump's approval rating is at 38% compared to. The 47% that support his impeachment. Do you think there's any possible way that this bad press is actually having a negative effect?  

Midterm elections in 2018 & the next presidential run in 2020 will demonstrate the answer to that. It's probably easier for some Americans to gratuitously throw around terms like "Nazi" and to fear Russia rather than recognize clear, present threats like ISIS (and communism.) The MSM at this point seems little more than a designer drug, so it should be a real carnival when America develops a tolerance and moves on to the next drug of choice. I like that Trump's more Mr. Blonde than Mr. Nice Guy.

Why are you so distrusting of most major news sources?  

It's not a matter of trust. I enjoy some of the raw footage of current events. I'm a skeptic trained in the scientific method/critical thinking, & the various sources seem to mostly editorialize, contradict each other (and themselves), and push agendas like the Paris Agreement as science when they're clearly not. I don't

but make up my own damned mind. It's fun. Maybe try it.

Noah, please. The grownups are talking.
