Especially since there are allegations that Trump didn't have reasons but ordered them to be found. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 10/05/2017 08:20:05 AM

Jeff Zeleny of CNN apparently reported today that "[he was] told just moments ago that the president himself has been thinking about this for at least a week, did not necessarily have the rationale when they first started talking about this, but then asked the attorney general and the deputy attorney general to look for that rationale."

Now, in fairness, Trump might have been thinking "god, this guy is terrible at his job, but I need specific reasons to fire him." Unfortunately, they chose possibly the worst possible date to fire him. Seriously, on the day grand jury subpoenas got sent out on the Russia investigation?

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Comey was fired today.. Urza - 10/05/2017 05:41:17 AM 1170 Views
It's hard to make this look good. And I'm dubious of their reasons. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/05/2017 06:19:12 AM 228 Views
With the media emotionally tied to selling Trump chatted it will be a hard sell. *NM* random thoughts - 10/05/2017 05:20:27 PM 258 Views
The firing as such is one thing, but the timing raises major question marks. Legolas - 10/05/2017 07:29:57 AM 519 Views

Please...this is totally overblown Tom - 10/05/2017 03:58:49 PM 428 Views
What question marks? I know that is the talking point but they stop there random thoughts - 10/05/2017 05:24:59 PM 419 Views
It doesn't necessarily have to be about Trump personally. Legolas - 10/05/2017 08:13:12 PM 575 Views
There is zero evidence that Flynn colluded with the Russians on the campaign random thoughts - 10/05/2017 09:36:20 PM 421 Views
Aren't you confusing several things? Legolas - 11/05/2017 07:16:21 PM 393 Views

I heard he found out because he's one of Trump's twitter followers *NM* aerocontrols - 10/05/2017 01:58:10 PM 247 Views

Sarcasm aside, have you seen even a shred of evidence that it was improper? Tom - 10/05/2017 04:01:46 PM 500 Views

Not even the president is required to prove his innocence random thoughts - 11/05/2017 04:06:30 PM 480 Views
But firing the person leading an investigation isn't how to determine one's innocence, hence nossy - 11/05/2017 04:19:13 PM 468 Views
If the same people claiming it was suspicious weren't the same ones calling for him to be fired random thoughts - 11/05/2017 05:50:12 PM 493 Views
But the firing doesn't affect the investigation Tom - 11/05/2017 07:04:01 PM 399 Views

How can Trump prove a negative, though? Tom - 14/05/2017 09:52:47 PM 506 Views
Indeed it does. And a lot of people rather doubt Trump would nominate someone like that. Legolas - 10/05/2017 08:00:53 PM 546 Views
