Why didn't Trump wait for this investigation to finish and maybe use that as the reason to fire Comey?
We do not know, and neither do you. Perhaps they just got their first or most substantial briefing on the IG investigation.

Why did he have to fire him the week subpoenas were confirmed and that Comey may have demanded more resources for the Russian investigation?
What do subpoenas have to do with this? OMG Comey MAY have requested more money!!! (that has been denied)

Timing is really odd, huh?
Not really.

Okay, then why didn't they cite that in their press release about his firing?

Because that is like firing someone and then posting details to the world-- of their personnel report of exactly why they were fired. Then ya'll would bitch and say how mean that is...

You just fire them. The deputy AG laid the conclusion out very well, no?

Amazing a guy that's been on the job 2 weeks was able to complete a thorough enough investigation to justify a firing when the IG couldn't get theirs done in over 4 months time.


It's amazing y'all eat whatever Trump spoon feeds you.

Trump's campaign and admin officials have been under investigation for a lot longer.

Because he was still misleading in his last testimony before Congress. After a while you just simply to cut out the cancer. Cannot continue to wait

So was the AG that recommended Comey's firing to Trump.

This has been public knowledge for a while. It's pretty obvious which posters don't know what is actually happening in the world.


God help us with that line of thinking.

So let's get this straight, you somehow knew that Comey was under IG investigation? Is that what your crystal ball told you?

If Trump wanted all the information in order to form his opinion he should've waited for the IG investigation to finish.


The investigation could have revealed enough to warrant termination prior to its conclusion. Grounds for termination and criminal acts revealed in an investigation are separate things. Furthermore, the discovery of grounds for termination would not necessarily conclude an investigation into an individual, especially if the grounds were unexpectedly revealed or unrelated to the investigation. For example, a husband is found to have been cheating on his wife as the police investigate his wife's murder.

Or, the president fired him because he did nothing to repair the endless, felony leaking and unmasking going on in the FBI, or quell the Russia circus being propagated by the media and dems. In the end, he doesn't really need a reason.

But you know all of this already and are just desperately clinging to the narrative.

So why haven't they cited it one single time since the firing was announced? Seems that would be VERY pertinent info if was used to fire a guy.

"But he didn't. This past week subpoenas were issued for Flynn and many sources are saying that Comey demanded more resources for the investigation. Hm."


Of course (playing Devil's Advocate) Trump could have had enough info already to fire him. Perhaps Comey's testimony was the final straw.

Because maybe that wasn't the reason he was fired. Maybe they just don't want you to know why. Cant you read?

Let me help you
