There are so many videos out there about the recent firing of James Comey. We selected this one as it has content that are shaded by many different colors.

This whole thing is laughable. Donald Trump is NOT MY PRESIDENT. Why worry about him firing another white guy? I say good riddance. This is the man who took the Presidency from Hillary anyway. Good bye Comey!
As for Trump, everyone knows he is Putin’s lap dog. He will do anything for Russia. The fact that he is trying to cover it up now by firing Comey doesn’t fool anyone. This whole circus is just the media trying to pretend like they do not know it already, but you can tell they know.

Kellyanne Conway is just a Trump stooge. She cannot answer any of Anderson’s questions. She just tries to make lame excuses for him. Here is the bottom line.
Trump has been colluding with the Russians for years now. James Comey is getting close and Trump knows it. So, he fires Comey. No doubt he will replace Comey with one of his blind followers who will squash the Russian investigation.
Let’s look at the timeline. In July of last year, James Comey declares that Hillary is innocent and the Republicans go crazy calling for his head. The reality is that he tried everything he could to demonize her. He tried to find any amount of dirt and shared everything he could, but the bottom line is that there was nothing there for him to get.
Then, in October, just before the election, James Comey announces that he is reopening the case. Why? Because there are some emails he wants to look at. No proof. No evidence. Just potential conjecture. Trump praises Comey then and Hillary’s lead drops into the margin of error.
If Trump did not like Comey, he could have fired him when he took office. But he didn’t. No, he waited until now. Until days after Comey requested additional funds from the Department of Justice. Then, all of the sudden Comey is gone.
So, that leaves us with 2 options. Either we are to believe the talking points that Trump suddenly thinks the person who got him into the White House is incompetent, despite having praised him repeatedly during the election cycle. And that he just realized it. Or he is covering up the fact that he did, in fact, collude with the Russians and is firing Comey so that it is not discovered.
This sounds exactly like Nixon trying to cover up WaterGate. I guarantee that Trump is hiding something. There is no other possibility. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either fooling themselves or a party to it.
No one can answer the question – why now?

I am just honestly confused here. Comey gives Trump the Presidency by speaking out against Hillary. Trump praises Comey throughout the election cycle. Trump keeps him on as he enters the the Presidency. Now Comey is fired. Why? Well the reason offered is just lame. Comey is fired due to the way he hurt Hillary??? Makes no sense.
Well, let’s look at what Comey was actively working on. He was actively investigating the connection between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Is there a conspiracy? Is there collusion? We don’t know for sure, but how else do you explain Trump’s actions – and his timing? This Presidency is getting more scary all the time.

I, for one, am glad to see Comey gone. I never liked how much he influenced the election – both ways. He should never have let Hillary off back in July. He should never have reopened the case in October without evidence. The only question is why now? Is he trying to avoid the Russian investigation? Maybe. I doubt it though. If true, that would be a major story. But the mainstream media wants to convict him now, without evidence. Yes, there is reason to conjecture, but goodness, can we let the facts play out before we crucify our Commander in Chief?
Ron Rosenstein recommended firing Comey and Trump took decisive action. Can we just rely on that until we find out otherwise?

LOL – Kellyanne just made Anderson look like an idiot. Why could he not hear what she was saying instead of sticking to his CNN talking points?
Here are the facts. Ron Rosenstein was confirmed 14 days prior. He is responsible for the Director of the FBI. In those 14 days, he looked into the FBI and evaluated Comey and sent a report to the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, who agreed and forwarded to Trump. Trump then took immediate action. Why the concern?
The media is asking why the wait? Why not fire him immediately? The answer is that it took so long to hire Ron. Trump did not act hastily, but waited for the right people to be in place to make the recommendation.
So, was this just a rouse to escape from being investigated about the connection to Russia? Well, we know that Trump was NOT under investigation, so that motive disappears a bit. In addition, the FBI is fully capable of continuing ongoing investigations without Comey.
Here is a question for the other side. If you blame Comey for being partisan and causing Trump to win the election, why would you want him to be the one to investigate the Trump campaign? You should be celebrating.

Anderson is a misogynistic hate-monger. The way he interrupts Kellyanne is inexcusable. Would he interrupt a man like that – no way. He accuses Ron Rosenstein of being in on a massive conspiracy. Ron served for Obama and was confirmed by the Senate 94-6. He is respected by both sides and Anderson treats him like a thug.
