President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Sen. John McCain, R-Nevada: "While the President has the legal authority to remove the Director of the FBI, I am disappointed in the President's decision to remove James Comey from office. James Comey is a man of honor and integrity, and he has led the FBI well in extraordinary circumstances. I have long called for a special congressional committee to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 election. The president's decision to remove the FBI Director only confirms the need and the urgency of such a committee."

Reaction pours in over sudden firing of FBI Director James Comey

 

So he's hopelessly libtarded then?

 

I'm pleasantly surprised. But I didn't know John McCain represented Nevada in the Senate. I imagine he'll be surprised, too, since the voters of Arizona just gave him another six-year term.

 

So how can Sessions recuse himself from the Russia investigation and still advise Trump to fire the F.B.I. director running it?

 

LOL. I guess he sold out for Tahoe!

 

Everything between Lubbock and Twentyninepalms looks alike to us.

 

Great question. But then again, I wonder how a man so racist that he couldn't be confirmed as a JV federal court judge can somehow be confirmed as the AG.

 

Must've taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

 

Seriously, though: How does CBS News make that mistake?

 

What is the name of the program that does that? Brilliant.

 

OK. Let's assume Republicans in the House and Senate are both furious, and taking political heat, and decide there's no option other than a special prosecutor. (Though even Lindsey Graham is on board with firing Comey.)

This causes who to appoint a special prosecutor?
