The FBI.
My job. SHIT! WAS I NOT SUPPOSED TO REVEAL THAT?
*double checks*
Thank God. That’s the CIA’s department to deal with.
This past week, President Trump fired the director of the FBI, James Comey. Comey, who had been leading the investigation into the Trump campaign and alleged ties to Russians that may have helped Trump win the Presidency last November. Here was just a little snippet of what we heard:
It’s true. Comey, the only reliable person we could rely on for any objectivity in the testimony to the Trump-Russia campaign scandal, was “unexpectedly” terminated. The only person who believes that this was “unexpectedly” fired was Comey himself:
Yes, Director Comey found out he had been fired via televisions in the background informing him of his termination. And Trump had his own henchmen hand-deliver the termination letter to Comey. The FBI director thought it was a prank! It’s like he expected Ashton Kutcher and the cameras to pop out from underneath the desks to tell him that he had been Punk’d!
All of this has some very dubious timing to it; Jim Comey had asked for more resources to aid him in the investigation of the Trump-Russia collusion case. Trump clearly had to have some inkling that Comey was getting close to sealing the deal with the investigation. He had to have some excuse to rid himself of some Comey. Why was he terminated, Ron Rosenstein?
Because of the mishandling of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. Yes, the same group of men who were in lockstep with Trump chanting ‘Lock Her Up!” fired the head of the FBI. The “my dog ate my homework” excuse thinks that’s the silliest thing ever. You guys are not fooling anybody.
The coverage of Comey’s termination was wall-to-wall on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and all major news outlets. Incidentally, it just so happened to fall within the same week that Russian ambassadors visited the White House.
Yes, Russian Ambassadors in the most powerful office of the free world with the guy who is under investigation from Russia. That’s got to be the most ironic thing one could drum up. I am including United Airlines sponsoring a World Day of Peace. The United Airlines public relations department and Trump incidentally show the same amount of self-awareness.
And, no, Comey didn’t have to fly commercial on United. He got a parting gift:
Hey, at least he wasn’t coerced into taking another Trump-loving entity, Uber. And, what preceded that coverage?
The last time traffic on an LA freeway was broadcast with police and an SUV, O.J. and friend Ron Goldman decided to go on a ‘leisurely stroll’ through Los Angeles on a Friday evening in June of 1994 that apparently required the use of the entire LAPD as ‘protection.’
That evening was, however, not included in this week's edition of "Violating the Constitution: WTF Is It This Time?"
Moving on…
SHADE, SHADE, SHADE! SHADE ON YOU!
