Question For Republicans

Why wouldn't you applaud Trump for firing Comey since Comey cause Clinton the election and that every Democrat would scream and yell about bribery or whatever when nothing is found in the investigation?

I'm not saying Comey caused Clinton the election, Clinton says so.

Everyone is really going way overboard on this thing and I now consider anything a Democrat says as irrelevant because of it. Trump can walk down some stairs and Democrats will find fault in which foot he led with and make a connection to Hitler in some way.

By the way, I did not vote for Trump, I voted for Castle. I did not want Trump as president and I didn't want Clinton as president. They are both bad for this country and I did not want them anywhere near. I just hope to make it through the next 8 years because clearly, Democrats have lost their minds over Trump.

The FBI director is a ten year appointed term for a reason. They didn't want another Hoover, but they wanted the position to be a non-political one. This is the second time an FBI director has been fired. The first one was by Clinton for ethical concerns, and Clinton wasn't being investigated by the FBI at the time. This is a big thing. Comey broke with the traditions and procedures of the DoJ with his July and October statements, but they weren't offenses that should have resulted in termination. Had they been, Obama would have been justified in doing so.

Here is what is troubling about this, the White House is lying. They didn't fire Comey for the Clinton investigation. They had an end result of firing Comey that Trump wanted to occur, and they went backwards looking for justification. Then, they couldn't get their story straight. When you combine this occurring with the fact that Comey was in charge of the investigation into the Russian influence in the election and the possible ties to the Trump campaign, this becomes a much murkier subject.

I don't like Comey for a number of reasons, beyond the Clinton stuff. But this was not an ethical action on the part of Trump. Hell, when you have Edward Snowden saying this was wrong and we're talking about a man being fired whose job it was to hunt him, who has been listening to his conversations and reading his emails, something is amiss.
