Why Did Trump Fire Comey ?

Why Trump Really Fired Comey
Two things have always driven the president:

(1) Self-aggrandizement; and

(2) Self-preservation. ​

Psst, you might want to polish that resume. Photographer: Andrew Harrar/Bloomberg


Trump's beheading of Comey has led to the latest round of speculation about the president's motives and actions. That's been a rather constant pair of queries over the last 18 months or so.

Remember Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who was presiding over fraud litigation involving Trump University? Trump attacked the judge and his Mexican heritage over several months last year as an avenue toward explaining why he thought Curiel should be removed from a case that had continually and ultimately turned against the for-profit college.

• If Trump could have unilaterally unseated Curiel, he would have. (He didn't have the power)

Remember the three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals who ruled against Trump's executive order seeking to ban U.S. travel for citizens from mostly-Muslim countries? After claiming, incorrectly, that the circuit had also ruled against another of his executive orders targeting "sanctuary" cities, Trump said he wanted to "break up" the Ninth.​

• If Trump could have unilaterally unseated an entire federal circuit court, he would have. (He didn't have the power)

He was able to unilaterally unseat Comey, and he did. (He had the power)

So, which one was at play with firing Comey ?

(1) Self-aggrandizement (the act of enlarging or expanding one's power or status); or

(2) Self-preservation (the act of protecting oneself from harm or danger).


Or Both ?

Firing FBI Director Comey Is Already Backfiring On Trump.
It’s Only Going To Get Worse

By James Hohmann | May 10, 2017

Poll Below was before Comey was fired

http://www.salon.com/2017/05/10/the-first-word-that-comes-to-mind-when-we-think-of-trump-is/

Wednesday, May 10, 2017

According to a a new poll from Quinnipiac University, approval of President Donald Trump has dropped to a near-record low of 36 percent.

On top of that, 61 percent of those polled said he was not honest, 56 percent of the respondents said he lacked leadership skills and 66 percent expressed that he wasn’t level-headed.

But it was a data set nestled in the middle of the poll that achieves a certain kind of beauty.

Question 9 of the poll asked, “What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Donald Trump?”

The word was “idiot” was repeated 39 times, more so than another. The second most cited word? “Incompetent.” In third place? “Liar.”

Other crowd favorites included “disaster,” “bigot,” “narcissist,” “racist” and, almost charmingly, “buffoon.”

When asked by Quinnipiac’s pollsters, 13 respondents said they thought the sitting commander in chief of the United States of America was an “asshole.”

Of the 46 words listed (uttered by five or more people) only 4 were positive (“good,” “great,” “smart” and “strong”). All other words published were either were negative or neutrally factual (“president,” “American,” etc.)

The poll also provides some insight into how the American people view the relationship between Trump and the media. While 58 percent of respondents said they don’t like way the media talks about Trump, 65 percent said they don’t like the way Trump talks about the media. In fact, 57 percent of respondents said that they’re more likely to believe what the media tells them than what Trump says.

Given that, it’s little surprise that 58 percent of those polled considered the president’s first 100 days to be “mainly a failure.” (Only 38 percent called it “mainly a success.”)

Given that, it’s little surprise that 58 percent of those polled considered the president’s first 100 days to be “mainly a failure.” (Only 38 percent called it “mainly a success.”)

When asked about what could have been, 41 percent said that the country would be in a better place had the Democrats taken the Senate in the 2016 election. Fifty-four percent of respondents wanted the Democratic Party to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“There is no way to spin or sugarcoat these sagging numbers,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

“The erosion of white men, white voters without college degrees and independent voters, the declaration by voters that President Donald Trump’s first 100 days were mainly a failure and deepening concerns about Trump’s honesty, intelligence and level headedness are red flags that the administration simply can’t brush away,” he added.

This Is Not a Drill
The firing of FBI director James Comey poses a question: Will the law answer to the president, or the president to the law?


by David Frum | May 9, 2017
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/05/this-is-not-a-drill/526056/

Who can sincerely believe that President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey for any reason other than to thwart an investigation of serious crimes? Which crimes—and how serious—we can only guess.

The suggestion that Comey was fired to punish him for overzealously mishandling the Clinton email investigation appears laughable:

Just this morning, Trump’s social media director Dan Scavino gleefully proposed to release video of Hillary Clinton’s concession call in order to hurt and humiliate her—and top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway laughed along with him.

No, this appears to be an attack on the integrity—not just of law enforcement—but of our defense against a foreign cyberattack on the processes of American democracy. The FBI was investigating the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russian espionage. Trump’s firing of Comey is an apparent attempt to shut that investigation down.

Whether that exactly counts as a confession of wrongdoing is a question that still deserves some withholding of judgment. Trump is impulsive and arrogant. His narcissistic ego needs to believe he won a great electoral victory by his own exertions, not that he was tipped into office by a lucky foreign espionage operation. He could well resent the search for truth, even without being particularly guilty of anything heinously bad. But we all now must take seriously the heightened possibility of guilt, either personal or on the part of people near him—and of guilt of some of the very worst imaginable crimes in the political lexicon.


Now comes the hour of testing. Will the American system resist? Or will it be suborned?

The question has to be asked searchingly of the Republican members of Congress: Will you allow a president of your party to attack the integrity of the FBI? You impeached Bill Clinton for lying about sex. Will you now condone and protect a Republican administration lying about espionage?

Where are you? Who are you?

The question has to be asked of every Trump law-enforcement appointee: In 1973, Elliot Richardson resigned rather than fire the investigator of presidential wrongdoing. Why are you still on your job? Where are your resignations?

The question has to be asked of every national-security official: It’s a lot more probable today than it was yesterday that the chain of command is compromised and beholden in some way to a hostile foreign power.

If you know more of the truth than the rest of us, why are you keeping it secret? Your oath is to the Constitution, not the person of this compromised president.

The question has to be asked of all the rest of us: Perhaps the worst fears for the integrity of the U.S. government and U.S. institutions are being fulfilled. If this firing stands—and if Trump dares to announce a pliable replacement—the rule of law begins to shake and break. The law will answer to the president, not the president to the law.

Will you accept that?

Americans know it when we see it. Unless it's happening to us.

We know it when we see the leader of a third world country go from populist leader to strongman dictator. We can see how the uneducated and oppressed put their fate into the hands of a leader who plays fast and loose with their constitution and their laws.

We see it — unless it's happening to us.

We've watched people on the news in other countries being rounded up, the opposition being fired, jailed or "disappeared." We've watched, shocked, as citizens allow their laws to be violated, upended and changed to satisfy their leader's whim, personal needs, vendettas or ego.

White House officials rush to defend timing of Comey firing

We see it —unless it's happening to us.

We have seen those leaders make unholy alliances with other brutal leaders and we've seen the people passively stand by as it happens to them like the cowards they are.

We see it — unless it's happening to us.

The President just fired the FBI director who was investigating him. This is like being allowed to fire the cop who arrests you before he gets the handcuffs on.

Comey asked for more resources in Russia probe days before firing

We are now becoming those cowards we have scoffed at. We are the frighteningly naive, apathetic souls, so blindly devoted to the cult of personality of one man, that we are not just witnessing, but allowing Donald Trump to become our anointed dictator.

And we've allowed it since Inauguration Day.

We laughed when he flat-out lied to us about President Obama wiretapping him. Dishonesty isn't funny, it's disgraceful.

Many Americans — Americans! — cheered when he signed an executive order that begins to wipe out separation of church and state in the name of "religious freedom." If our President cared one whit about religious freedom he wouldn't have attempted to ban Muslims from entering this country.

Pence says James Comey firing was about ‘fresh start,’ not Russia

Attempting to change one of our most important safeguards isn't worth cheering about. It's worth fighting against.

When President Trump called the press the enemy, the right wing approved. Defaming the First Amendment doesn't warrant approval, it demands outrage.

And now the President of the United States has committed the most blatant act of all. Trump has fired Comey, who was leading the investigation into whether his campaign advisers colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.

Possible? No — probable. Even the Syrian airstrikes seemed more a diversion than a humanitarian act. He got the press to write about his power play against the Russians for days instead of concentrating on possible Russian interference in his presidential win. Meantime, if he had meant it, the White House would not have told the Russians about the coming strike.

Sean Spicer reportedly hid in bushes after Comey firing

Too bad the White House didn't tell us before landing a strike against Comey. The President's alt-speak version of events is that Comey got the boot for mishandling the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server. Seriously? Will he get away with this? Probably.

Sure President Bill Clinton also fired an FBI director, William Sessions (that name again). But Sessions was ultimately fired because the Justice Department found he was a tax skimmer and federal scammer.

Comey — whether you like him or not — was fired by the President he was investigating. And it's not amusing. It's alarming.

This is not a reality show, it's our new reality and it's happening to us.

 

[SPECTRE1]

1. It looks he was setting himself up with both political parties, investigating the email server on Clinton, and alleged Russian ties with Trump. Whoever won, he can claim that he helped them and that they owe him.

Come election time again, he could sand bag President Trump if the stronger horse was Democrat. Now he can get somebody that would refuse outright to a Democrat, at the risk of getting fired any investigation into Republicans. Yes he was conservative, but he played both sides for his personal gain.

2. He refused to look into these dog whistle murders or white terrorism. Where people are getting slaughtered in churches. He put the person away but he refused to go further, where he looked into every email of Clinton.

Bush league.

After news spread that President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, Press Secretary Sean Spicer went to great lengths to avoid the barrage of media questions he was bound to get.

He reportedly took shelter behind bushes.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer walks from the West Wing of White House, in Washington, Tuesday, May 9, 2017, to speak to reporters. President Donald Trump abruptly fired FBI Director Comey on May 9, 2017, ousting the nation's top law enforcement official in the midst of an investigation into whether Trump's campaign had ties to Russia's election meddling.

According to Daily Kos, after giving a cable news interview about the controversial firing — of a man conducting an investigation into possible collusion with the Russians — Spicer was cornered by journalists. Most of whom were eager to know why Trump dumped the top dog at the nation’s investigative agency.

All the times Trump and Sessions praised Comey for Clinton probe

So Spicer reportedly retreated into the hedges with his staff to map out a semblance of a plan.

After his Fox Business interview, Spicer “disappeared into the shadows,” Daily Kos reports.

While Kellyanne Conway and Spicer were put on damage control duty after the firing, the timing of the termination appears questionable — so say Democrats and even some Republicans.

Encircled by reporters, Spicer remained huddled in the bushes. That is, until Janet Montesi, executive assistant in the press office, told those gathered that the secretary would answer select questions. His terms: he couldn’t be filmed doing so.

“Just turn the lights off. Turn the lights off,” he said, according to Daily Kos.

On cue, Spicer appeared and attempted to mitigate concerns over the abrupt firing for about 10 minutes.

News about Comey’s plight came across just before 6 p.m. Tuesday. It was the same day that a grand jury issued subpoenas in the Russian investigation. Apparently, it was a complete surprise to Comey, who was in Los Angeles delivering a speech to FBI staffers.

For Spicer, while he might’ve brainstormed a plan while holed up in the shrubbery, the damage had been done.

Social media has responded with a flurry of comedic tweets — some likening the press secretary to Homer Simpson conspicuously slipping into the hedges.

User MacKenzie McHale tweeted: “A once credible member of the fourth estate reduced to the role of court jester — sad #Sean Spicer.”

Another user wrote, “Damn, I can’t wait to see the next @melissamccarthy skit on SNL!!”

The Daily Show Just Gave The BEST Response To Trump’s Comey Firing


By Sheila Norton

Published on May 10, 2017

SHARE THIS STORY
“You can’t just fire the FBI director,” Trevor Noah said on the Daily Show at the beginning of tonight’s segment on President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey. “If he’s gone, who’s gonna investigate Russia’s ties to ohhhhhh…”

Noah trailed off in mock bewilderment as the crowd roared with laughter.

When the host regained his bearings, he said that while he has compared Trump to African dictators in the past, “Right now, even Africans are watching this going, ‘yo yo yo yo yo,’ they’re like, ‘Donald Trump does not f*ck around, eh?!’”

The host was just getting started, then delving into the reasons Trump gave for firing Comey, the mishandling of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, which Noah called “the most gangster excuse.”

“Basically, Trump said, ‘I’m doing this to clear my good friend, crooked Hillary!” he said.

The audience rolled in the aisles. Even for Noah, who has been on fire lately, this is a grade-A skewering our dictator-in-chief.

 

[SPECTRE1]

US attorneys get fired all the time yet the FBI director gets to keep his job. He gets a 10 year term limit but that does not mean he has to keep his job under a new administration. Mayor and governors bring in their people when they take office.

I believe he should have given deference to a 100 million people voting. He can bring to light what happened but to pursue jail time that could deter voters? The people can absolve a candidates past crimes by electing them to office.

A political candidate should be given immunity to avoid an unelected bureaucrat from exerting power.

President Trump threatens Comey with 'tapes' of their conversations

President Trump issued a startling public threat to his ousted FBI director Friday morning: "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!" Trump tweeted. On Thursday, Trump told NBC's Lester Holt that on three occasions, Comey had reassured him he was not under investigation for ties to Russia. One of those conversations was at dinner, and two others were during separate phone calls. The implication that Trump taped a private conversation is shocking: Author Jared Yates Sexton asked, "Is the president admitting he surreptitiously records his converations? Because that's massive, if so."

"James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"


President Trump took to Twitter today to warn former FBI Director James Comey that he "better hope" there are no "tapes" of their conversations "before he starts leaking to the press."

"James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!" Trump tweeted.

The president appeared to be referring to accounts in the press that have raised questions about whether Comey told the president he is not under investigation.






White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer declined to comment further when asked Friday if there was recording taking place in the Oval Office.

"The president has nothing further to add on that," Spicer said. He declined comment two more times, adding that he was not aware of anyone in the White House having a recording of the president's dinner with Comey.

In other tweets this morning, Trump defended his White House surrogates after multiple inconsistent statements from senior administration officials and White House spokespeople on the subject of the FBI director's firing.

Trump tweeted that “it is not possible” to expect “perfect accuracy” from the White House podium because he is a “very active president.”

He also floated the idea of cancelling the daily press briefings from the White House in favor of written statements “for the sake of accuracy.”

Trump’s own words add fuel to questions about the legality of firing Comey

With his own words over the past two days, President Trump has vastly escalated the stakes and potential consequences of his decision to fire James B. Comey as FBI director, provoking questions about whether his motivations and tactics may have run afoul of the law.

The president also suggested via Twitter that he may have “tapes” of private conversations with Comey, evoking echoes of Watergate and demands by Democrats that he produce what could be critical evidence.

All of that undermines Trump’s credibility as he seeks to name a new FBI director whose independence will be under intense scrutiny and whose most critical job will be to lead the probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The point of greatest sensitivity raised by Trump’s decision to fire Comey is its potential connection to the former FBI director’s role in investigating what he described as “the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

In a television interview and on Twitter, the president has given ammunition to arguments by some legal experts that his actions constitute a possible case of obstruction of justice — a central charge in the impeachment proceedings against two presidents in the last 43 years.

Obstruction is “a very mental-state-based crime,” said Duke University law professor Samuel W. Buell, a former federal prosecutor. “It’s all about the purpose with which it’s done. In theory, trying to intimidate, silence, or even influence someone who is investigating you could be obstruction of justice.”

But whether the unfolding controversy ultimately puts Trump’s presidency at risk is more a question of politics than law.

Given that both houses of Congress are in Republican control, it would take an enormous public outcry for lawmakers to begin the process of attempting to remove the president from office. The same, it appears, probably would have to happen before the Justice Department that reports to him would be compelled to appoint a special prosecutor, much less actually bring charges.

In an interview with NBC News’s Lester Holt on Thursday, the president said: “I was going to fire regardless of recommendation.” He also said that he had pressed Comey during a private dinner to tell him if he was under investigation.

Trump further revealed that the ongoing probe into questions of Russian influence on the 2016 election, which includes a look at the possibility that Moscow was coordinating with the Trump campaign, was one of the factors he considered before firing Comey.

“In fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won,’ ” he said.

On Friday, the president created another stir -- with a flurry of tweets, one of which warned that Comey “better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”​

In an interview with Fox News, Trump declined to say such tapes actually exist, even as congressional Democrats demanded that he produce them.

Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), -- the second-ranking Democratic senator and a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, said that Trump’s tweet was a “thinly veiled threat” that “could be construed as threatening a witness in this investigation, which is another violation of federal law.”​

In an interview, Sen. Richard J. Blumenthal (D-Conn.) -- added that “there is so much that smacks of obstruction of justice that is swirling around this dismissal and the meetings that preceded it. The exchange that took place with Comey, whichever version you believe, raises very, very serious questions about attempts to pressure an FBI director investigating wrongdoing potentially implicating the president.”​

FOX Just Asked Trump If He Demanded Loyalty From Comey. His Answer Is Chilling


By Brian Tyler Cohen

Published on May 12, 2017

SHARE THIS STORY
Jeanine Pirro, of FOX’s “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” spoke with Trump about the rumors that he fired FBI Director James Comey after asking if he “had his loyalty.”

“People suggest the question that apparently the New York Times is selling,” she asked, “that you asked Comey whether or not you had his loyalty was possibly inappropriate.”

Trump unequivocally states, “No, I don’t think it’s inappropriate,” before attempting to qualify his answer.

Judge Jeanine, though, cuts him off to ask a pointed question.

“Did you ask that question?” she asked.

“No. No I didn’t, but I don’t think it would be a bad question to ask. I think loyalty to the country, loyalty to the United States is important. You know, I mean, it depends on how you define loyalty, number one—number two, I don’t know how it got there because I didn’t ask that question.”

What Trump seems unable to grasp is that “loyalty to the country… to the United States” is quite different than loyalty to one man—especially one who has, on multiple occasions, accosted the very principles for which this country stands.

Trump is being purposefully misleading to spin his conversation with Comey as the exact opposite of what it was. If Trump did ask Comey for loyalty, it was for assurance that he would protect Trump himself. Of course, by investigating Trump for possible illegal activities with Russia, Comey would have, in effect, already been protecting his country.

Trump continues his confused diatribe by alluding to the semantics of the word “loyalty.” It seems, however, that only one person is having any trouble defining “loyalty,” and it’s most certainly not the man leading an unprecedented investigation into possible collusion with a foreign adversarial power.

Why Trump Really Fired Comey
Two things have always driven the president:

(1) Self-aggrandizement; and

(2) Self-preservation.

I noted the above two aspects of Trump's character because I believe they tend to be central to everything Trump and I thought I would be referring back to them from time to time. Needless did I know, it would only be a few days, before they would raise their heads, once again:

The Headline Today: Trump shared classified info to Russians
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...assador/ar-BBBaWuJ?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

And this quote from the article: In revealing highly classified information to the Russians, Trump said: "I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day," one official with knowledge told the Post described Trump as saying, before the President reportedly relayed specific intelligence."​

"I get great intel . . . every day" is nothing more than: Braggadocious.

And, Braggodocious is nothing more than: Self-aggrandizement.


People, we have an amateur, an idiot, a child -- in the highest office with his fingers on the trigger.

We the people can forgive or overlook a politician crimes just as the President can commute or pardon a criminal.

Insinuating that Hillary was going to be handcuffed after swearing in was wrong. Why did they just discover this issue around the election season? The minute she became a political candidate, he should have backed off.
