To all:
I have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for no reason at all. I'm not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won't either. It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply.
I have said to you before that, in times of turbulence, the American people should see the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and independence. What makes leaving the FBI hard is the nature and quality of its people, who together make it that rock for America.
It is very hard to leave a group of people who are committed only to doing the right thing. My hope is that you will continue to live our values and the mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution.
If you do that, you too will be sad when you leave, and the American people will be safer.
Working with you has been one of the great joys of my life. Thank you for that

Him being oblivious is as good a reason as any to fire him.

When one thinks of the FBI, one should think about the institution itself.
With this guy, it became too much of "James Comey, starring in The FBI."

Dear Director Comey: I have received the attached letters from the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General of the United States recommending your dismissal as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I have accepted their recommendation and you are hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately. While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau. It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Donald J. Trump.
One is more professional than the other.

I have one friend in intelligence in the Washington area, who knows many others. He told me the other night that there is a generational split up there, with the younger pros thinking that things are very bad and getting worse, with some of them almost panicky. The older guys are more wait and see. Apparently most are distrustful of Trump and his people.

In 37 years I never knew who the FBI director was until James Comey.

And one is the truth.
If you can't tell, America is over appearing professional while containing no substance. It's why trump is president and comey is unemployed.
Comeys letter was a nice read and it was professional. It was still bullshite. Not saying trump couldn't act more professional, but I'm over political correctness at the expense of substance.

Exactly, there should never be another Hoover.

Yeah, the assistant AG pushed for this.
