President Trump on Thursday sought credit for firing ex-FBI Director James Comey, even as the decision has attracted scrutiny from federal investigators.

Trump delivered his latest criticism of his ex-FBI director as an upcoming inspector general report is expected to be critical of Comey's handling of the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of State.

Trump fired Comey in May 2017, prompting the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.

The president's reasoning for cutting Comey loose has changed at times over the past year, and has reportedly been a focal point of Mueller's investigation.

1. This country has been invaded by Vladimir Putin and he is taking over.

Let me know when people want to do something about that.

2. when you are flogged in the docks in a public square for firing him

3. thank him for what exactly?

Trump wasn't in the position to fire Comey when he supposedly did this or that with the Clinton investigation.

What the amoral pig is upset about is that Comey and FBI did not railroad her right into prison. All in keeping with their political agenda and fantastical conspiracy theories.

They were fine when he torpedoed her campaign with the news of reopening the investigation. Complaining about that now and taking up the defense of Clinton is bee ess.

Finally, why should we believe that he fired Comey for anything other than obstruction and cover up. It came right from Trump's fat yap.

Just more conspiratorial fantasies and attempted distraction, smear the witnesses, obstruct, lie, cover up.

6. How about

Thank you for showing the world what a vindictive ass you can be? Or 'thank you for giving Mueller one more reason to indict you'.

7. Sure, I'll thank you. You know why? Because it's one of the things that ...

propelled things into high gear of all of the efforts into looking seriously at you and your cronies' efforts to steal the 2016 elections from us.

I'll thank you especially after the four convictions already obtained by Mueller and those that are bound to come being that many of these defendants are now cooperating w/ Mueller's investigations (and who knows where these will all go? Mueller wouldn't offered these plea agreements if there wasn't anything else going on, that we're not aware of now).

I'll thank you even more so when you and your cronies are all indicted, convicted and sentenced to jail for crimes against the United States.

Thank you president rump!!
