Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

[wkmac]

noam chomsky calls the FBI the "political police" of the country.

I would concur with Chomsky's observation. The Bureau of Investigation was created in 1908' and a major driver was the hysteria over radicalism in the days after the 1901' assassination of President McKinley. Wilson used the BOI to suppress opposition to our involvement in WW1 and in 1924' J. Edgar Hoover took the helm and he took the agency to a whole other level. In 1932' the BOI became known as the United States BOI and then in 1935 it became known as the Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI for short. The Red Scare and the 1960's into the 1970's with CoIntelPro was where the FBI became as much a form of an American Gestopo.

Trump Announces 40-Month-Long Search To Fill FBI Director Post

WASHINGTON—Saying it was essential to fill the now vacant post with just the right person, President Trump announced Wednesday the start of a 40-month search to find a replacement for recently dismissed FBI director James Comey. “Whomever we appoint to run the agency must be someone of impeccable character and reputation, and finding this individual will inevitably take at least three and a half years,” said Trump, adding that it would be irresponsible to advance any open investigations until they could be overseen by a new FBI director at some point in the year 2020, though possibly at an even later date. “In fact, we must spend however many weeks, months, and years are required to find an appropriate candidate. Quantifying the time frame underestimates the difficult task at hand and the lengthy—one might even say indefinite—process to come.” Trump went on to say that given the difficulty of selecting the right successor, it was quite possible that the search would remain unfinished in his lifetime.

Clapper is out of it officially but still sticking his nose in politics. I saw the media interviewed him today to get his spin on events.

Comey declines to testify before Senate committee

He declined because it was a "Behind Closed Doors" invitation.
He felt, primarily the Democrats, the Politicians would release classified information.
Now the Senate Committee is agreeing to Open testimony.

That's funny. Chaffetz and Nunez are the only congress critters suspected of leaking classified info this go around.

I hear that he wants to testify in public so his voice can be heard. He can say more publicly this week than he could last.

He's a Patriot, and he's POed.

Its funny to hear the Hillary people acting scared now they lost their political cover. Comey's brother is a lawyer who works for the Clinton Foundation. But of course that is just a coincidence.
