Trump fired FBI director

[Baruch]

Well if Trump did try to suborn the Flynn investigation, then he is self-impeached.  Ds get what they want, President Pence ... who has been acting President since mid April.  Smart move, Ds.

I could imagine him dragging Pence down with him. Not because of any conspiracy, but because he is honestly that fucking dumb and spiteful.

I don't know much about Pence, but from what I've heard about him here, he could do a lot of damage.  It could be like Nixon being replaced by Spiro Agnew.  But they dumped Agnew who was under investigation for getting kickbacks from contractors (not even related to Nixon's Watergate crap), and replaced him with Gerald Ford before Nixon quit.  Even Ford was acceptable to the Democrats.  Would you want Pence for President?

[PopeyesPappy]

Would you want Pence for President?

No. I'd rather have Trump. Trump just wants to make the rich (including himself) richer. Pence wants to make the rich richer by instituting a far fucking right Christian theocracy.

Comey is that dumb and spiteful.  If some part of the Dark State doesn't like what he is doing, he will have nowhere to hide either.

Ford was in on the Warren Commission report ... he knew where to not go.

Get rid of the stupid clown, replace with the evil clown.  Stop clowning around!  Pence will be OK, he will kick out the Trump family circus, and bring Cheney and Rove back in ... maybe Rummy for a third go at SecDef.

Maybe he should hire Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán for the post - he probably knows more about crime than any other person Chump could name!

[fencerider (OP)]

el Chapo? one more criminal isnt gonna make the gvmn worse, but you're forgetting that Trump doesn't like Mexicans

[Unbeliever]

Well, hiring Guzman would maybe help him with liberal and Hispanic voters?

[Cavebear]

Even though the President manages the FBI, possible "obstruction of justice" charges can still apply.  It depends on the details.

The FBI has had no proper charter since its founding in 1917, as part of President Wilson's secret police to suppress German-Americans during WW I.  Kind of like how the Fed was created a few months before WW I even started, to help finance WW I.  It is deep doo-doo all the way down.  Comey ultimately can't fill J Edgar's dress size.  The US also has to rely on the police state laws enacted since President John Adams.  Wonder why such anachronistic laws, which had opponents, have never been repealed?

Uninformed liberals, I could see that. Hispanics (at least Mexicans)? Fuck no. At least not the one's that would actually bother to go out and vote. That is exactly the type of person they left their country to get away from.
