We wanted Obama to fire Comey, but...

[Equinox Moon]

now the firing by Trump is for different - disingenuous reasons.
This is a cover-up of epic proportions.

This is not the America I know.

3. Yep, starting to stink...

5. Obama was smart not to fire him...

Trump has blown up the Russia investigation tenfold and it looks very bad for him. Not only that, this sets bad precident and is almost fascist as well. And yeah, I totally agree...cover-up all the way.

6. Trump will put in an unqualified sycophant

Someone who will, like Sessions, cover up for Trump and destroy the investigations and evidence.

We are in deep sh@@

[Equinox Moon]

9. Or... Trump and his cronies are in deep shit.

7. Timing is key

and it screams independent prosecutor at this point. Trump mentioning his own jeopardy in an investigation is the cherry on top. How can you not have an independent prosecutor.

10. Obama shouldn't have hired Comey in the first place....

..but he was all in on the beltway media narrative of big strong Republicans needing to be in charge of matters of law enforcement and security.

And hey look at all the credit and goodwill he got for that appointment, right?

11. WoodChuck thinks this is really bad optics for tRump.

WoodChuck is my MIL's nickname for Chuck Todd.

I happen to agree with WoodChuck that it really looks bad.
