Breaking – Trump to Comey: ‘You’re fired!’
‘It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission’
James Comey was terminated from his role as FBI director Tuesday, according to statements from both the U.S. Department of Justice and the president himself.
A letter obtained by NBC News from Trump to Comey states the president had been advised by administration officials to remove the FBI head.
“I have received the attached letters from the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General of the United States recommending your dismissal as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I have accepted their recommendation and you are hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately,” Trump told Comey.
“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgement of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.”
“It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission.”
The White House Press Secretary’s office also sent out a statement informing the press of the president’s action.
The firing comes just as the director testified before the House Intelligence Committee Monday regarding allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
Over the weekend, Comey also called on the Justice Department to refute a Tweet sent by Trump that claimed the Obama administration had ordered a wiretap on Trump Tower.
On Sunday, the White House issued a statement requesting committees also look into the possibility the previous administration may have abused its executive authority.

the dc establishment has gone absolutely apeshit since comey was canned-the fbi was created for various reasons and one of them is to investigate corrupt politicians
I hear ya...
~Right on the money, Michael... the truth is stranger than any comedy sketch. Something the writers at SNL have been 'disclosing' & having fun with for decades now.
Yes, Yes... & Yes!
Then again... No!
~There are shards of truth in even the most corrupted programs of the Matrix, Andramamine... & yes, that even includes the Archontic global broadcast of MSN, or Mainstream Everything, for that matter. It seems it is you who is confused, forgetting that the pedestal you fashioned for yourself is also an illusion, built within the same walls of the shitstem we are trying to dismantle. Decoding & freeing our fellows from the Matrix requires using data from the very institutions that keep them in mental bondage... by co-creating an overload of cognitive dissonance that effectively forces them to wake up, to look within, & truly see. Pawns like Trump are actually assisting this endeavor by playing their 'roles' perfectly. Of course, we all have our methods. For example, you use sarcasm... which is really just another form of violence. A passive aggressive stance which is better suited for the school yard, from my perspective. But if it's working for ya?... enjoy. My goal is to get the sheeple to venture beyond the shallow end of the pool, into deeper waters... by any means necessary. ~InLight555

washington post is part of the swamp, not 'deeper waters......lol ;-0
you're still bogged in the msm mire, sticky wicket.....not above it......so rethink your stance.
~Agreed, the Washington Post is part of the swamp, Omego... but the story that fell into their laps is a direct byproduct of the sewage spill in the oval office. Unbelievably, the White House engineers have been baffled by the stench for months now, unable to find the leak... now they know it was coming from Trump's mouth. Talk about some serious halitosis... damn!!!
HEY MICHAEL: read it and weep.
Jan 20th!!!... in Trumplandia that's ancient history!
HEY MICHAEL: did I strike a nerve with that rant? Anybody can call a response "lame." The lack of evidence and "meat" in your response reflects that of someone in real need of vitamin b12. Or someone who likes the art of words.
