We Still Don’t Know Exactly When And Why Trump Decided To Fire Comey…

Uh, sure we do. Comey was not ‘under control’ of the White House and they are nervous / extremely frustrated about the Russia Collusion investigation.

"… and that Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions “began fine-tuning their rationale for removing Comey”

I might have misunderstood, but it seems to me that Ari Melber was insinuating that their blaming the firing on the handling of Clinton’s emails was a bit of strategy in that they needed a reason removed from the Russia investigation.

May 2nd: Trump and Putin have third phone conversation in three months.

Is this a joke? Of course we know why Trump fired Comey. He is investigating Trump and the racist orange protofascist disaster is pissed. Did they really expect anyone to believe the transparently absurd claim that it was due to Comey mishandling the Clinton investigation? These guys were absolutely giddy about Comey’s October surprise letter to Chaffetz. If they offer up a sad little fig leaf as patently ridiculous as that Comey was mean to Clinton, it’s absolutely clear Trump is trying to quash the Russia investigation. Let’s stop tap dancing around the obvious.

Rod Rosenstein’s 3-page rant was awful. It has become the laughing stock of legal incompetence. An exemplar of all things not to do.

The CIA leadership is probably going to be the next target that Preshitident Trump is going to fire. Preshitident Trump made it a point to go to CIA Wall of Fame and threaten the CIA in that unhinged rabid rant almost immediately after the inauguration. The activities of Ivank Trump with Iranian and Russian intelligence could easily become a CIA matter.

Easy: When Rump learned President Obama appointed Comey.

It’s wonderful to see how easily bruised Trump’s ego is… A crony appears too camera friendly and Trump fires him rather than be upstaged…

I give it a month before Jared Kushner gets canned for “taking on too much”…

We know why, it just hasn’t been said by Trump or Spicer yet, that’s all.
