The Director of the FBI, James Comey was fired.

James Comey has been fired from the position of being the Director of the FBI.  This comes in the middle of an investigation as to whether or not Russia meddled into the campaign to elect Donald Trump for President instead of Hillary Clinton. This is the second time in the history of the FBI that a Director has been fired. President # 45 stated that he felt like this would restore public trust and confidence in the FBI.  It seems that President # 45 felt that James Comey could not effectively lead the Bureau.

This firing comes in the middle of an investigation of whether Russia influenced the 2016 Presidential elections. There are concerns that Donald Trump's  campaign had ties to Russia.  Ramifications of this firing are being looked at closely. Even if it was done according to President #45 because of the way the investigation into Hillary Clinton was handled, perception-breeds-reality as the saying goes. This action gives the appearance that it happened because the investigation into campaign ties with Russia was not going well for President # 45.  Unfortunately for President # 45, this will not make the investigation about Russian influence into the Presidential elections go away.

The firing was not handled well. It was not done in person. A manila envelope was left on James Comey's desk with President # 45's decision.  President #45 had his personal security aide Keith Schiller leave the letter.  James Comey was at a meeting and learned about it from looking at a TV channel.  This should have been handled in a way that fits the President of our great nation.  It was done in shameful manner that shows no class.

Please read the links below. They gives details  on the action President # 45.  It just made me feel tired inside. The extremely sad thing is the actions of President # 45 did not surprise me.

"Don-Don's"habit of blowing smoke from his fire onto others to hide his actions

The White House continues with Little "Don-Don's" stance on anything that does not show him in a good light.  During the 2016 Presidential campaign, Little "Don-Don's" associates communicated frequently with Russians known to U.S. Intelligence agencies. The reason Little "Don-Don" hates Intelligence agencies  is clearer.

White House people asked the FBI and other agencies to quash reports that there was communication between them and Russia. That in itself breaks laws. No influence can be put on agencies that will be investigating potential wrong doing. But when you are Don-Don, you can do what you want because you talk constantly and people don't really pay attention anymore. They only pay attention when they or people they know are affected.

Question about the FBI

My heart  was heavy as I watched the news and it was announced that Trump was the winner of the Presidential election.  I thought about Hillary Clinton and the FBI.  My thoughts on the FBI are simple. What exactly is their function?  I looked it up.  Shame on the head of the FBI. Mr. Comey  announced his second investigation into Hillary Clinton when she was ahead and against the advise of his superior, Thanks to Mr, Comey, Hillary Clinton lost due to the influence of his actions,

What exactly is the purpose of the FBI?  I know that it is sacrosanct and I risk being the object of their anger. But could not their job be farmed out to other law enforcement agencies?

My thought about the FBI Director, James Comey

James Comey has a tough job being the director of the FBI.  Perhaps its time he took an extended vacation to center himself.  After he came out with his decision to create a scene over "new found"   e-mail, everyone questioned why so close to election.

It is obvious that you are a  "Trump" man. You should have listened to council to wait for an announcement after elections. It looks like you are trying to influence the election for Trump. I wonder why you are not trying to deny it.
