In a stunning move Tuesday, American CEO\/Dictator Donald Trump, fired FBI Director and man who got him elected, James Comey. This coming just days after Comey asked for more resources\u00a0to investigate Trump’s connections to Russia<\/a>. Wow! This smacks of Watergate, when Richard Nixon fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox in what came to be known as the Saturday Night Massacre<\/a>. Donald Trump’s move is more like an authoritarian tyrant in a dictatorship than a President in a democracy.<\/p>\n

But what’s really absurd about this is that Attorney Confederate General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, despite his recusal from the Russia ties investigation, suggested the firing\u00a0supposedly because of the way Comey handled the Hillary Clinton email investigation<\/a>. So now the Republicans are appalled that the FBI was so mean to Hillary (despite Trump leading chants of ‘Lock Her Up’ during the entire campaign). Or is it that they failed to plant evidence which would say she’s guilty, like the Republicans want. This is stinking worse than the stockyards during a heat wave. Better get out your waders, folks; the bullshit being shoveled by the Republicans is going to get taller than James Comey.<\/p>\n

American CEO\/Dictator, Donald Trump, fires FBI director and one tall dude, James Comey, for his mishandling of the\u00a0Hillary Clinton investigation, and not because Comey\u00a0was close to exposing evidence about \u00a0Trump’s collusion with Russia during the 2016 election.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
