Trump has fired FBI director Comey - White House
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-has-fired-fbi-director-comey-white-house/ar-BBAXgwy

"Comey was in the midst of conducting an investigation into the administration's ties to Russia when he was fired."

"Remember AG Sessions, who recused himself from Russia investigation, has fired the leader of that investigation, Director Comey"

This is not good.

Actually odds are very good that this is very good, if you want to rid our Country of this disaster.

For Trump to fire him so quickly, Comey must have either had the goods on him or was getting very close. It's like announcing to everyone that they should immediately look at all evidence Comey was looking at, so this could easily blow up in their face. Now watch as they replace Comey with a huge tool chosen mainly for their loyalty and willingness to cover up whatever Comey was onto.

 

[JB Lions]

We should get some nice "friends of Comey" leaks coming.

 

[eyedomainous]

Trump firing Comey is the American version of a Russian hit on a top Putin investigator.

Meanwhile...
Social media is having a field day creating fake URLs that appear within the official www.donaldjtrump.com site.
Reddit users found a glaring vulnerability on www.donaldjtrump.com that allows people to create their own URLs within the official site.

He knew they were getting close to taking action after the testimony the day before.

There were two other stories worth noting yesterday:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/09/politics/grand-jury-fbi-russia/

"Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas to associates of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn seeking business records, as part of the ongoing probe of Russian meddling in last year's election, according to people familiar with the matter. CNN learned of the subpoenas hours before President Donald Trump fired FBI director James Comey."

and....

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/10/politics/trump-lavrov-tillerson-meeting/

"US President Donald Trump is due to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday, a day after firing FBI chief James Comey amid a swirl of controversy over the FBI's investigations into Russia's alleged election meddling."

He met with Kislyak too. News and pix via Russian media - US media wasn't allowed to cover the meeting.

Giuliani fits that description then again so would Christie

Christie can be bribed or distracted from anything with a box of Krispy Kreme's. And we'd be glad to send him to DC to get rid of him.

So to sum up this week:

• People conducting an investigation, or with knowledge thereof, give disturbing testimony.
• Head of the investigation had just requested additional resources.
• Allegedly based on a vague memo by a new employee, and citing events which have been public knowledge for months, head of the investigation is fired by the subject of investigation. At the urging of someone who's had to recuse themselves from it for lying.
• This was done while the fire-ee was out of town - faster access to his computer and files that way.
• "Nothing to see here" say 45s pr folks.
• The next day 45 meets with 2 Russian diplomats, including the one suspected of being their top spy / spy handler in the us.
• US media is barred from the event. Russian media was in the Oval Office with cameras and electronics. Wonder if they "left" anything behind?
• Spicey and Conway (she's back): "Nothing to see here. "
• Also, 45 lawyers up, having them write a "certified letter" denying any involvement. Sort of like a "certified letter" saying "I am not a crook"

Trump giving an interview to Lester Holt just now put his big Orange foot in that big mouth of his.

I'm reading reaction on Twitter, did the interview already air or is that tonight?

Oh tonight - Tune into NBC Nightly News at 6:30 p.m. ET to see more of Holt's exclusive interview with Trump.

A portion has aired on all the news channels.
He stupidly said that before he fired Comey he asked Comey 3 times if he was under investigation?
http://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...mey-three-times-if-he-was-under-investigation
It wasn't illegal to ask but it makes him look pathetic......LOL

Yeah, Comey's associates are saying he never told Trump that, Trump says:

"And I said, ‘You know, consider, we’ll see what happens.' But we had a very nice dinner, and at that time, he told me, ‘You are not under investigation,' which I knew anyway.”"

He knows anyways but asks him not once, not twice but 3 times. Such a liar.

White House furious after being trolled with Russia Oval Office photos

The White House did not anticipate that the Russian government would allow its state news agency to post photographs of an Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the US, a White House official said.

Russians just clowning on Trump
