Which would be a breach of confidentiality, imho.

That's not how it works. The FBI Director answers to the President. Period. There is no one in the Executive Branch of the US Government who is not subordinate to the President.

And the FBI is part of the Department of Justice which is led by the Attorney General who serves at the pleasure of the President.

Comey had no right to keep anything from the President and in this much he did the right thing.

As far as this Russia shit goes? Produce the evidence and we'll talk.

Otherwise it's a bullshit waste of time.

If Hillary fired Comey all would be well in LibTard Ville.

How true!!!

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/ ... comey.html

See, firing Comey is okay if Hillary had done it but it's wrong if Trump does it.

The one thing Maxine Waters got right?

The LibTards Hypocrisy is clear as the truth of who Chelsea's real father is.

Thanos Thanos:

She didn't win so the entire exercise is just another circle jerk for you MAGA's. But, but her e-mails!

Fuck her emails, using her position as SOS to benefit the Clinton's foundation's pay to play was way more important and Comey did Fuck all with it.

[Thanos]

All of which was disproven by multiple congressional committees and multiple FBI investigations into the matter. Which certainly won't be the case when a future attorney general someday looks into the open spigot of money flowing illegally into the Trump family accounts right now because the dirty motherfuckers have made no pretense about how they've refused to separate themselves from their businesses.

Illegal for them, not illegal for us. Same broken record from you guys over and over and over again. It's nihilism in it's purest form.

Until there's actual evidence linking Trump or anyone in his Administration to possible charges right now it's speculation while with Clinton the evidence is there.

[xerxes]

The crime of being a Democrat.

That would make it a dictatorship. I don't think it works that way Bart, sorry.

Thanos Thanos:

You put "Trump" and "ethical" together in the same sentence, which is wrong because it's a physical impossibility. They cancel each other out completely like matter and anti-matter do when they make contact.

That's too true...

Loyalty to the Party and the Leader over the Constitution and state is how these types operate. They are a danger to democracy. The enemies from within.

[Brenda]

Absolutely. And now threatening Comey? Really? Cancelling press briefings??

That's not democracy.

I cannot believe there are still people defending this demented sociopath...

It is quite true. The President has almost absolute power over the Executive branch.

Thankfully, the President does not have that same power over the Legislative and Judicial branches, which is, in theory, supposed to defend against things like dictatorships. For most major decisions, at least the Executive and Legislative branches must agree on it, and it will, as always, have to survive any challenges brought to the Judicial branch.

If their system is followed, it does do a pretty good job of doing what it is supposed to.

Article II of the United States Constitution works EXACTLY that way.

Our system works pretty good unless there's a declared National State of Emergency which Congress concurs upon with a continuing resolution.

Yesterday the White Hut sent out this little gem that almost no one in the incredibly ignorant anti-Trump media noticed:

$1:

President Trump is continuing for one year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13611 to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Yemen and others.

With a declared national emergency in place and with Congress' continued consent (which has been perfunctory since 9/11) then civil rights are suspended if the President so desires.

This crap started under Bush, Obama always continued it, and now Trump is doing the same thing.

While Trump may not be a dictator the mechanism is in place if he wants to be.
