pretty sure he's not being investigated anymore, which is how he was able to be fired.

he's been under investigation since he announced he was running, you'd really think they'd find something by now if he had anything worth being found out

Except most of the people he's fired have been "the best people" that he himself brought in when he took office.

Never mind that his slogan is bs and he's loaded the swamp w/ more corporate execs than have ever been in a cabinet and largely just gone after government scientists and other employees who are non-political, middle class, have absolutely no power over the regulations they must abide by and actions they're told to carry out, and serve an entire career, through both R and D administrations.
But yeah, YEE-HAW, drain that swamp!

Well, Congress controls the investigation, and Congress is fully controlled by Republicans...
And have had numerous scandals so far with the investigation, including the guy who was leading it visiting Trump in secret and then lying about it before it was found out...
And then the testimony yesterday the Republicans were more concerned about grilling Yates about who the whistle blower...excuse me... "leaker" was that did the public service of letting us know the National Security Advisor lied about meeting with the Russians...than learning about what Flynn did and why it took several weeks to can him after the facts came out.

So yeah, I wonder why nothing's been found yet.

Probably because he has been doing everything he can to impede an investigation? You'd think if there was nothing to hide he'd want to get this nonsense behind him so he could finally get something done

Yeah the senate has been sitting on its hands because a successful investigation will likely destroy them at the next election.

In general, the investigation has been running on bare minimum resources which was discussed in yesterday's hearings. Without an independent commission with actual funding you can expect this investigation to get virtually no where for a very long time.

See, voters have really short memories. Like...people were furious at Republicans for the shutdown in 2013...and then in 2014 gave them huge wins.
Almost seems like it'd be better to get it over with faster, cause if it happened 2+ months ago, voters don't remember. So hopefully the obfuscation will come back to bite them in the ass and the facts will come pouring out next year when they could've been dealt w/ this year if only they had been serious about the investigation.

Comey is a real rollercoaster for both sides.

First he's anti hillary cause he investigated her emails or some shit.

Then he said there's nothing wrong with her so he's anti-repub

Then he sent some shit to congress before the election so hes anti hillary again and apparently was trying to rig the election

Then he investigated trump so hes anti repub

It's a whole thing.

It's a whole thing.

Investigating her emails is justifiable and doesn't make him anti-anything.

When he said she did nothing criminal, he still decided to deride her publicly for her reckless actions. There's a reason making moral judgments on the accused that have no basis in the facts is a huge n-no in law enforcement, it's basically abusing your position of authority to assassinate someone's character. That moment was very much anti-Democrat, unless you think anything short of literally trying her for crimes she didn't commit is falling short of being fair.

His words DID rig the election, and were baseless. Then just this week, he claimed there were classified emails sent to Anthony Weiner and that turned out to be a lie (some...not many...were made classified after being sent...which means she did NOT "send classified emails" since when she sent them they weren't). As anti-Dem as you can get.

Investigating Trump over legit concerns of Russian influence is not anti-anything, just as investigating her emails wasn't. HOWEVER, publicly tongue lashing her and then saying there's a breakthrough in the case that classified emails MAY have been sent (only to find out later once they actually looked through them, oops...nope, "maybe we should have properly examined the evidence before I opened my fucking mouth") while simultaneously not saying a peep about the investigation into Russian hacking the Dems? Very anti-Dem. Again.

I don't like Hillary, so much that I voted 3rd party. But your account of Comey's actions are complete bull shit.

No I think he's demonstrated some gross incompetence or at the very least lack of professionalism and was pretty much justly fired. It's just a shitty time for him to be fired.

Mr. Comey was addressing a group of F.B.I. employees in Los Angeles when a television in the background flashed the news that he had been fired.

In response, Mr. Comey laughed, saying he thought it was a fairly funny prank.

Then his staff started scurrying around in the background and told Mr. Comey that he should step into a nearby office.

Mr. Comey stopped addressing the group. He proceeded to shake hands with the employees he had been speaking to. Then he stepped into a side office, where he confirmed that he had been fired. At that point, he had not heard from the White House.

Shortly thereafter, a letter from Mr. Trump was delivered to the F.B.I.’s headquarters, just seven blocks from the White House.

yeah, but watergate happened while he was in office.

but you are right. it took around 2 years from beginning and ending with him resigning over being impeached.

He's a jerk, so I rejoice in his humiliation and firing.
But on the other hand, he was investigating Trump and now Trump got rid of him. Does Trump get to name his replacement, and then said guy picks up the investigation? That'd be really messed up.

The witch hunt continues

It's not so much a Witch hunt as it is following evidence.


Given that the strongest evidence so far was that an ambassador met with a Russian official, discussing nothing of importance, and then neglected to reveal the meeting to anybody, it's the least compelling evidence ever. Meanwhile you have people like Hillary and Stein trying to push the fiction that the polling stations were rigged by Russia.

Doctor Foxx posted...
That really is ridiculous. Why can the under investigation party fire the investigator?


First off, the investigation is more than one person so "the investigator" is bogus. Second, there's literally nothing to the investigation in the first place. Third, today that "investigator" essentially admitted to fabricating claims against Hillary Clinton which is a pretty legitimate issue.
