Interesting. He helps get Trump elected but Trump didn't appreciate his directing the investigation into the Trump campaign's possible ties with Russia.

The President fires the director of the FBI who is actively investigating him and his campaign for their ties to Russia. This is a horrifying abuse of power and display of corruption. The message being sent is clear: Stand up to me and you're fired.

Most corrupt President since Nixon. By the time this is all over, might eclipse Tricky Dick himself.

Nixon CV far outstrips Trump, who's a virtual reality TV phenomenon.
Compared to President CombOver, Nixon is almost Lincolnesque.
Nixon's failing was not keeping a overwhelming insecurity complex at bay.

Trump is a big, ugly fish in a small pond who's deliberately ignorant to the rest of the world due to his rampant hubris.

Even if Trump is innocent this makes him look desperate and guilty. I suppose now he will make Flynn the new FBI director.

I suspect he'll appoint a loyal stooge as new FBI director, like Chris Christie or Rudy Giuliani. Blech.

I have also heard that Trump is strongly considering firing Sean Spicer. Hmm.

I think the Trump-Christie relationship has been burned. Christie's not going to be dumb enough to hop on that train again.

Giuliani, on the other hand: completely unqualified and an absolute maniac. Sounds like a perfect Trump pick.

Also runs a "cyber security" firm despite knowing nothing about either of those things. Ok, maybe he knows how to cyber.

Maybe Trump can get his buddy Arpaio to head the FBI.

I didn't think Arppio would ever be ousted from Sheriff.

Trump has done it now. There had better not be any truth to his Russian ties as this guy will find it. Mueller is a no-nonsense, non partisan, serious dude who gets to the bottom of things:
