...and permitted to serve out the remainder of his ten-year term?
It appears that Trump may have kicked the wrong dog when he made the decision to fire Comey.
For months, Trump played a cat-and-mouse game with Comey. First and foremost, Trump wanted Comey to know that he could be fired at any time.
He wanted to see him grovel when he gave him a chance to pledge his loyalty. Comey refused.
From that moment, Comey knew that he was skating on thin ice. He knew Trump wanted to fire him. Obviously, they did not like each other.
But, Comey was a good manager. He kept documentation. It was an old habit of his.
It is this documentation that may prove to be the downfall of Donald J Trump? The international crime boss may have finally met his match?
The pledge, the memos, the firing of the FBI Director, do not have a lot of standing when taken alone. But when they are all connected and joined together, they present a very strong case for obstruction of justice.
Should Comey be re-instated? That is something Hillary supporters may never agree to or support. His one good deed will never replace the original sin of the last election, in many people's eyes.

(11,686 posts)I heard that he is transparent. Well, if he was transparent he would have told the country about Hillary's emails AND the findings of trump's dealings with Russia. The fact will always remain that he helped trump become president by hiding damning evidence that could have kept this country out of it's current problem.

(9,967 posts)He used his power to interfere with an election. I don't think it's just Hillary supporters. Anyone who cares for a fair, transparent, clean elections should never support him being re-instated.
