Holy crap. Comey was giving a speech to the LA field office

[Recursion]

Comey was giving a speech to the staff at the LA field office when an aide said, "you have a flash override call, Director Comey".

This is absolutely insane.

[Thrill]

1. They humiliated him. He must have all the goods on them

.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Realize that Comey was likely and immediately locked out of his FBI computer before he was fired.

Likely had to pay for his own airline ticket back to DC.

[Adrahil]

4. If he's covered by Federal travel regs...

Then if he leaves employment while in a travel status, he is entitled to complete his official travel at government expense.

3. An old saying goes:

when you strike at the king you must kill him in one blow.

Comey struck a glancing blow. They waited until he was on the road then burned him. I assume his replacement will fall in line.
