#1 Do Fed employees get perp-walked to front door by security? I'd pay to see that.

#3 ...Interesting comment at Fox:

"The White House made the stunning announcement shortly after the FBI corrected a sentence in Comey's sworn testimony on Capitol Hill last week.

The director told lawmakers that Huma Abedin, when a top aide to Hillary Clinton at the State Department, had sent "hundreds and thousands" of emails to her husband's laptop, including some with classified information.

On Tuesday, the FBI said in a two-page letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that only "a small number" of the thousands of emails found on the laptop had been forwarded there while most had simply been backed up from electronic devices."

#6 Re #3

I'll bet a synch feature was set on and Abedin didn't know. Which raises the question, what was she carrying around with 1,000s of classified docs on it?

#7 Long past fucking time.

This walking turd should have been kicked out the door on day 1.

#9 Probably breathing a sigh of relief.
Comey's actions for the last couple of years seem to indicate a desire to get off the merry go round before he pisses off somebody lethal. He's already testified, his minions have said what mistakes he's made, time to walk away and become either a federal judge or a lobbyist.

#10 He was out of town so his badge won't work but I am sure his stuff will be waiting for him on the side walk.

#11 Drudge reports that while Comey was speaking to LA agents TVs behind him were breaking news that Trump fired him. Hope we can get a video of that! Hillarious!

#12 Fox news.com has a copy of the letter to Comey and it was brutal.

#13 That "brutal" letter is fairly common in the business world when a high level manager screws the pooch that badly.

Not quite high enough to get the "decided to move on to other projects" whitewash.

#14 I don't believe the firing is over. The odious FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is still employed. As far as Comey goes, his 'milking barn' sized ego may not allow him to overcome the firing.

#15 FBI Director James Comey learned of his firing from a television news report, according to CNN and The New York Times--HE THOUGHT IT WAS FAKE NEWS AND LAUGHED!!!

#16 Hours before firing grand jury issues subpoenas on FBI investigation of Trump/Russion election ties (CNN exclusive). Termination letter states Comey told Trump three times he was NOT under investigation.
