Hypocrisy and the Firing of Comey

      The mainstream media feigned shock when FBI director James Comes was fired this week.  Many of us who follow politics closely thought he should have been last July when he recommended not charging HRC with espionage and other crimes related to security even though she set up an unsecured private server to bypass transparency within the State Department and then erasing over 30,000 emails she claimed were personal.  Unfortunately we all know that those were the most damaging.  This was certainly reminiscent of the 18 minute gap in the Nixon tapes 45 years ago.  We all know that the Clintons are very good at making things disappear like the White Water billing records, the White House Travel Office ledger and most importantly the log of who checked out the FBI files on 1000 prominent Republicans.  At his July press conference, Comet laid out the case against Hillary Clinton carefully and methodically listing one crime after another and the various laws she had broken and lies she had told to the FBI and the public.  Then, amazingly, he said he didn't recommend indictment, as if that is his job.  Violation of national security doesn't include intent, especially when the intent was obviously purposeful. Justt ask the sailor who took a few pictures on board one of our submarines so he could show his children where he served and he got prison time.   The job of the Justice Department attorneys and Attorney General is to bring an indictment or at least call a grand jury.  AG Loretta Lynch, after being found to have met secretly with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac in Phoenix, Arizona a few days before did not recuse herself, but wrongly seemed to delegated her duty to the FBI director rather than one of her attorneys.  Comey should have set her straight, but by then we knew the fix was in. Where was the call for an independent prosecutor then, as if Obama would ever appoint one.  His regime was so political that every scandal would have led back to Valerie Jarrett and him, if a special council had been appointed.
      Like the hypocrites that they are Chuckie Schumer and the Democrats are likening this to Nixon's firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox and also calling for a special prosecutor.  Only a few months ago they were calling for replacing Comey and claimed he cost HRC the presidential election.  A large amount of evidence had been uncovered by Cox at the time and even his firing, as Nixon found out, wasn't going to make it go away.  In fact not a smidgen of evidence has surfaced that the Trump campaign and presidency has ever colluded with the Russians. Bill Clinton fired the Attorney General the day before Vince Foster committed suicide. (Was Foster afraid he would have to compromise himself to protect the Clintons.)  The Democrats only goals is to delegitimize the President and try and drag this out to the 2018 midterms to continue to push this stupid issue.  Any investigation is still on going, any evidence if there is any isn't going away so the Democrat concern is all for show with no substance.  Where was their outrage when Obama fired 90 attorneys that were appointed by Bush?
      Why did this happen now? The Democrats have only themselves to blame for taking so long to confirm Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein when he was nominated to replace the  acting Attorney General Sally Yates as deputy Attorney General.  Attorney General Sessions has recused himself from the Russian investigation.   Rosenstein is the only Bush appointee to the Justice Department that was not fired by Obama and he served all eight years of Obama's regime. He was approved by 94 senators.  After reviewing Comey's job as director, he recommended firing him, because of problems with the Clinton investigation. Present Trump accepted the Justice Department recommendation.
      The collusion issue should end quickly and not drag on forever.  There is no evidence backing this and the FBI and Justice should say so. Whether the Russians tried to influence the election is another matter, and if they are behind Wikileaks so be it.  Wikileaks is merely a messenger.  If there was no message in Democrat campaign officials' emails there would be no Wikileaks involvement.  General Michael Flynn's name was not leaked by Wikileaks to the Washington Post after it was unveiled by Susan Rice. The FBI must carry out an investigation as to who was the leaker and have that person arrested and tried even if the investigation leads to Obama and/or Valerie Jarrett.
