Not to mention, for now, McCabe is empowered. Like it or not, he's the Interim Director until a new one is confirmed. If this was a cover up, then why in the hell would Trump empower a partisan hack?

This is someone who was exposed in Wikileaks. His wife has accepted millions from the Democrats, he leaked sensitive information to Hillary about her investigation, and he most certainly has it out for Trump. If you're covering something out, why empower that guy?

I'm hoping Gowdy, but knowing Trump he'll choose Chaffetz just to piss them all off. Chaffetz would push them to suicidal thoughts.

I actually like Chaffetz too, but didn't he say he wanted to spend more time with his family in Utah? I'm assuming FBI director is a big commitment to Washington.
Correct. Comment was more tongue and cheek, considering that Trump is a shit lord and how he loves to troll the left I wouldn't put it past him if the opportunity is there.

I'd imagine there is some sort of process that has to be adhered to.
 
Here are 10 of Comey's biggest embarrassments at the FBI:

1. Before he bombed the Boston Marathon, the FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev but let him go. Russia sent the Obama Administration a second warning, but the FBI opted against investigating him again.

2. Shortly after the NSA scandal exploded in 2013, the FBI was exposed conducting its own data mining on innocent Americans; the agency, Bloomberg reported, retains that material for decades (even if no wrongdoing is found).

3. The FBI had possession of emails sent by Nidal Hasan saying he wanted to kill his fellow soldiers to protect the Taliban -- but didn't intervene, leading many critics to argue the tragedy that resulted in the death of 31 Americans at Fort Hood could have been prevented.

4. During the Obama Administration, the FBI claimed that two private jets were being used primarily for counterterrorism, when in fact they were mostly being used for Eric Holder and Robert Mueller's business and personal travel.

5. When the FBI demanded Apple create a "backdoor" that would allow law enforcement agencies to unlock the cell phones of various suspects, the company refused, sparking a battle between the feds and America's biggest tech company. What makes this incident indicative of Comey's questionable management of the agency is that a) The FBI jumped the gun, as they were indeed ultimately able to crack the San Bernardino terrorist's phone, and b) Almost every other major national security figure sided with Apple (from former CIA Director General Petraeus to former CIA Director James Woolsey to former director of the NSA, General Michael Hayden), warning that such a "crack" would inevitably wind up in the wrong hands.

6. In 2015, the FBI conducted a controversial raid on a Texas political meeting, finger printing, photographing, and seizing phones from attendees (some in the group believe in restoring Texas as an independent constitutional republic).

7. During its investigation into Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified material, the FBI made an unusual deal in which Clinton aides were both given immunity and allowed to destroy their laptops.

8. The father of the radical Islamist who detonated a backpack bomb in New York City in 2016 alerted the FBI to his son's radicalization. The FBI, however, cleared Ahmad Khan Rahami after a brief interview.

9. The FBI also investigated the terrorist who killed 49 people and wounded 53 more at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Fla. Despite a more than 10-month investigation of Omar Mateen -- during which Mateen admitting lying to agents -- the FBI opted against pressing further and closed its case.

10. CBS recently reported that when two terrorists sought to kill Americans attending the "Draw Muhammad" event in Garland, Texas, the FBI not only had an understanding an attack was coming, but actually had an undercover agent traveling with the Islamists, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi. The FBI has refused to comment on why the agent on the scene did not intervene during the attack.
 
I'd imagine there is some sort of process that has to be adhered to.
Yeah, and the process is until a new Director is selected and confirmed by the Senate, the next in line takes over as Interim Director. Same way Sally Yates ended up being Interim AD while waiting for Sessions to be confirmed. So unless Trump fires McCabe as well, he's the man.
 
Edward Snowden condemning the firing of Comey in case you wondered what team he played for...that SOB. I knew there was a reason he was alive and head of his own media outlet thing. Hope Trump jails his ass too.

Reports that his family has been threatened. That's why he won't be there.

I get that, what's your solution then?
Exactly as I said. For Trump not to hire in succession, skip over McCabe, and immediately, within the next few days, pick a new Director. The sooner, the better because the Democrats are, without a doubt, going to drag out the confirmation process.

Until all that happens, it would be best for Trump to give McCabe a chance, like he did Yates. Don't fire him for no reason other than he's partisan. If McCabe goes rogue, like Yates, then Trump should fire him immediately, like he did Yates.

Should've fired his ass 4 months ago...
Well he didn't realize how close the FBI was to unraveling his Russian connections. If Trump is so innocent he doesn't fire Comey. This has nothing to do with Hillary. Such b.s. Dems can win in 2018 just by running on investigating and possibly impeaching your President. It's sad that Republicans are so partisan they'll conspire with Russia to destroy democracy just so they can win. We're turning into Turkey.
 
Comey needed fired. But i can almost guarantee Obama gave standing orders directing the FBI to stand down on many islamic terror investigations.

Way too much slipped through their fingers. No way it was oversight
yup that's why they destroyed Al Queda. And bombed the hell out of ISIS. Unlike your President, Obama obeyed the laws of this country. He's just making him look better and better.

Pretty impressive that liberals like Comey again.

One week they hate him, the next week they all of a sudden love the guy.
Oh, Democrats still hate the guy, but we love democracy more, unlike the neo-fascists you hang with. Constitution hating mofo's. You want a dictatorship as long as it's 'your' guy.
