Nov. 9, no matter who wins the GE.
This is total fucking bullshit. Comey must go if respect for the rule of law is to be maintained.

(26,877 posts)Comey's already said that there's no chance this new thing can be resolved before 11/8. Firing him "after" Nov. 8 would be a serious blotch on President Obama's legacy.

(7,908 posts)someone at DoJ to fire Cox. Richardson and Ruckleshaus refused. And it fell to Robert Bork to do the deed.
Obama can simply fire Comey. The investigation will continue but without the serpent at its head.

(26,877 posts)Comey's firing would look like a political move and would stain President Obama's legacy.
I don't want to see this, and neither should you.
Besides... why freak out over the unknown (which is where we're at with this "new" email thing)?

(413 posts)He knew this would be hard for us and did it anyway. He could have easily waited until after the Election to announce this.
Unless they find something worthwhile that needed to be addressed immediately he needs to be fired immediately for using his position to influence this election.

(28,270 posts)No doubt about that, check the timing for FFS!
Don't even tell me that Comey didn't coldly calculate the effects when he pulled this BS!
I have to agree though that the President should do nothing to the snake in the grass Comey. That would just do more harm then good.
President H. Clinton needs to replace that f***in backstabber Comey ASAP after getting sworn in! FU Comey!!!!!

(7,908 posts)today, in my opinion. But to avoid even the appearance of obstruction of justice, President Obama should wait until November 9 to fire his fascistic ass.
