In effect, he did just that.

Does anyone get the impression he's trying to cover up far worst crimes, like rigging the election and stealing the White House from the Dems?

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Keep attacking one of the main witnesses against you. A witness with a reputation of going out of his way to follow the law.

Remember how dolt 45 likes to slam back at insults five times harder? He's going to find out how it feels to be on the receiving end of retribution when Comey testifies about the conversation over dinner and submits his notes taken at the time about it.

This investigation should have been started by him and the danger of of this collusion with a foreign power made public a year ago. Instead it was all kept hush hush, while the TV networks went on and on showing Trump call Hillary "crooked" and that she is unsafe with national security. And then they'd spent the next half hour discussing just how crooked Hillary was with the emails and all.

But he followed his GOP masters and kept it on the down-low, while making sure that there was tidbits of information constantly leaked to the congress and press about the "ongoing" investigation into her emails, including the last one.

He was basically the definition of a stooge and then tossed away when he looked like he was realizing that he made a bad mistake and was going to now do his job.

Fri May 19, 2017, 04:51 PM

We have already seen 45 do this again and again once he has decided someone is his enemy. He will either try to discredit them by doing what he can to make them seem like they have a screw loose, or some other way. With females he tries to paint them as promiscuous which is an old weapon of choice towards women. Remember during the elections when he tried to say Hillary was cheating on her husband? Here's this woman who was around 70 years old & he played that card on her. Of course it was so absurd it didn't stick, but had she been younger it might have. Gawd knows they have spread a million weird rumors about her just to be nasty anyway.
He implied Comey was a 'nut job' to try and diminish any credibility Comey might have when the truth is exposed because he knows it's coming.
They have many support groups for spouses of narcissists because they will pull any and every dirty trick out of the bag to discredit their spouse once there is any trouble in the marriage. They do some very devious and maniacal things.

Shouldn't someone who has the authority instruct the Secret Service to put him in immediate custody for obstruction of justice, and have the AF-1 pilot divert the plane back to the U.S.? How is he still allowed to still be recognized as the President of these United States? Unbelievable.

But I suspect Mr. Comey's many years of public service have led him to conclude that he shouldn't be unfair, and he's prepared to serve the fare Trump deserves in the best possible way: cold.
