[TheMastersNemesis]

The Comey investigation will end even before it begins. It will be cut immediately.

1. He may not be able to stop the investigation that easily.

All of the IG's subordinates are career civil servants.

3. Yep! And they reaction will not be like 1973 when Nixon

fired Archbald Cox and then Elliot Richardson and they public was outraged at the abuse of power.

4. He'll have to write Congress a letter explaining why he's doing so

and I don't think Congress will appreciate the blowback if they just roll over.

5. Not that easy.

The president can get rid of an ig but it is not immediate (unlike other types of positions where it can happen on the spot) If he decides to fire him, there is a delay of 30 days and he has to explain it to congress. This is by law.

6. He is going to abuse power as much as he can get away with it.

[StevieM]

8. And he'll get away with it a whole lot. (eom)

9. Only if we let him.

"We" being congress and all those who have the possibility of holding him accountable (the media, the intelligence community).
