Only difference between your scenario and mine? It was the republican president who was cowardly enough to *actually do it*. Obama didn't fire him just because he didnt like him, Trump did.
HE WAS FIRED BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO DO HIS JOB.... Trump gave him enough rope to hang himself. and he did.. Sorry, a person that puts his fear of being whacked by the Clinton's over doing his job ,should not be leading the FBI
When Comey decided that she had compromised national security but since he couldn't prove intent she wasn't prosecutable he kept her campaign alive. That was when I thought he was political. Also if wiki-leaks had exposed the corruptness of the dnc right off instead of dribbling a little bit out at a time. She would have been out. Two chances to take her out and they dropped the ball both times. FBI insiders have said that Comey was fired because of the Russia-Trump connection. After firing Trump he held a closed meeting with the Russians. Nothing suspicious there!

You got proof of this or is this from a liberal biased media outlet, that is still cry'n liberal tears..
He found 100+ criminal acts that Clinton did.. and did NOTHING.. he no matter whom is running the country should not be leading the FBI.. He and anyone in that spot need to do their job, not sidestep because Clinton has ties. The meeting of Bill on the plane with the one that would stop the indihtments.. is the suspicious part.. and the only suspicious part. THe only connecton to Russia trump has is he is married to one..

Spoken like a true "Bern Victim"
Just face the hard truth. There was no way in hell anyone, including the DNC, was going to let that old Marxist Sanders get anywhere close to being President, no matter what fantasies you lefties had, but go ahead and dream your dreams of "what might have been if only Clinton had been disposed of early enough". If that helps you with your hate against Trump then have fun with it.

Sanders is a democratic socialist, not a Marxist. You should look up the difference. Personally I think he makes a mistake by including socialist because people like you seize on it and that's all you'll ever see. You and Furgal are very narrow minded conservatives. Way too far right for me. There are lots of conservatives here that do have open minds. I'm one of them but I don't restrict myself to only conservative views. I don't hate Trump. I don't hate anyone. I didn't vote for either one of them but I was slightly glad that he defeated her. I can even understand your position because I was you back in the sixties. I voted for Goldwater and I was a rabid reader of John Birch society literature. I was about as far right as you can get and I was just as narrow minded as you. edited: I think I may have over reacted here. Sorry.

I can agree with most of what you said without using liberal like it is a dirty word.

Conservative and liberal, a little of each. Mostly independent. I'm not tied to either of the corrupt parties. I have a mind of my own and I don't preach dogma from either party.
I think of myself as a centrist. Mostly in the middle between liberal and conservative but I can swing far right or far left on some issues.
Most likely due to my own bias but, I don't recall ever seeing you swing far right. I guess I missed that.
In reference to the original topic. I'll admit I don't trust our press any longer. Everything has a spin to it, most of it is anti-conservative. I don't know enough factual data to suggest anything about Comey but, I tend to agree he has been so politicized that I doubt his effectiveness to lead the agency. ------------------ Ron
Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun....
Open your frigg'n minds, think about all the other tools that can be made into WMDs.
If you wish to upset a Conservative, lie to him. If you wish to upset a Liberal, tell him the truth.

I tend to agree with this. It seems Comey was more interested in playing politics than doing his job.
It's my opinion that if he had the FBI conduct a proper investigation, and presented the results in a straight-forward manner, he could have gained a lot of respect. Yes, he would have caught a lot of flak, but would also garner respect for being honest. But instead, he wiggled and squirmed, and tried to please everyone. And it blew up in his face.
I find it "funny" that the Ds wanted Comey fired in October 2016 and now complain that Trump fired Comey in May 2017. You can not have it both ways unless you are a democrat. If Trump says up, the democrats say down.
I have been keeping an eye on this woman for some time now. If you thought Nanci Pelosi is evil, you have not been introduced to Maxine Waters. She is tunnel visioned on Trump. Her words sleigh her, but it means nothing.
I see a strong correlation between this (D) and many other little (d's) that frequent this planet. Take a moment of your day to become informed on this person. It could change your perspective on our future, and hopefully get more (R) back into America.
Enjoy...

Except that Mr. Trump wasn't under investigation at all. Trump's letter to Comey even states that.

I have been lusting after her for years. You should become informed with her actions and reactions after the Rodney King incident, riot, et all.

You Bern Victims are SO easy to spot.
"people like you" ?!.....You don't know anything about me. The ONLY thing you know is your own "narrow minded", pompous, leftie presumptions.
I don't need to look up definitions of what a "Democratic Socialist" is. I LIVED IT. Back in the 60's and early 70's I was just about as far left as it gets. I was a member of the SDS, (Students for a Democratic Society) Rubbed elbows with the WSA,YSA (Young Socialist Alliance), the RYM, (Revolutionary Youth Movement), the Maoists and the Weathermen.
The difference is that we didn't hide behind semantics like you do. We knew full well what our ideology was and where it comes from.
Another difference between you and me is that I GREW UP and faced reality and started employing rational, adult thought instead of *following* Marxist utopian fantasies and pretending to be a "centrist" or "moderate" like you do while your every post literally reeks of hard left shibboleths.
Hell, you're STILL trying to defend that old Marxist Sanders and then trying to tell everyone on this forum how "in the middle" you are.
You even openly suggest that Sanders should LIE about his ideology to make it more palatable. That says a lot about your honesty as well.

@ Cliffw... Wrote it down to study. I am betting that I thought I saw just how whack-a-doodle she is, but will be shocked when I visit her not to distant past.
@ Jake the mutha****ing badazzed travelingClick to show Dragon... I had that trash in mind when reading the very same words! There is a video out there where she got her azz handed to her a week or so ago. Good times.

Semantics I'm just saying lack of sentence structure disappoints me If I can't agree with you at least be clear or Funny I will take either one

There is no forum rule which declares all posts must be clear and/or funny in the eyes of one Jake_Dragon. Your inability to comprehend the humor in it, is a personal problem. Deal with it. Don't attack me with your condescension and trying to act superior.
One day you'll figure it out. Or maybe you won't. I don't much care either way. The post wasn't directed at you, or designed to appeal to whatever sense of humor you think you have, or your apparently precious grammatical sensibilities. The sentence structure is perfectly fine.
If you want to attack people's use, or lack thereof, of the English language, perhaps you should direct your attention toward the White House instead. The unending abuse of words that streams from its occupants is beyond reason. Your vigilance toward them would be warranted.

Doesn't "beyond reproach" mean that something couldn't be better?
above (or beyond) reproach phrase of reproach 1. such that no criticism can be made; perfect. synonyms: perfect, blameless, above suspicion, without fault, faultless, flawless, irreproachable, exemplary, impeccable, immaculate, unblemished, spotless, untarnished, stainless, unsullied, whiter than white; informalsqueaky clean "I never claimed to be above reproach"
Yes, yes it does.
Dobey has just declared that our President's use of the English language is perfect!

Oh damn it, you beat me by 30 seconds.
Oh well, the advice is still valid.
I suppose Dobey will chalk this up as another attack but I have to point something out.
"Beyond reproach" means blameless, faultless or beyond criticism. That doesn't jive with the phrase "abuse of words" in the very same sentence.
Here's a tip. Brush up on synonyms, antonyms and maybe some onomatopoeia before growling (that's onomatopoeia) about being attacked for improper use of language.

Well excuse me you arrogant pedants who are so quick to judge those you disagree with, and yet so aghast when one corrects your own spelling or grammar errors.
But yes, you are right, I made a typo and brain fart, when typing that, and have now corrected it. Your inconsequential and incessant hypocrisy and whining will no doubt continue, however.
