“Over the course of the last several months, Director Comey’s decisions on controversial matters have prompted concern from across the political spectrum and from career law enforcement experts.
“The handling of the Clinton email investigation is a clear example of how Comey’s decisions have called into question the trust and political independence of the FBI. In my efforts to get answers, the FBI, under Comey’s leadership, has been slow or failed to provide information that Comey himself pledged to provide.
“The effectiveness of the FBI depends upon the public trust and confidence. Unfortunately, this has clearly been lost.
“The FBI Director serves at the pleasure of the president. Under these circumstances, President Trump accepted the recommendation of the Justice Department that the Director lacked the confidence needed to carry out his important duties.”

This senile old buzzard reminds me so much of the way LVS lives in denial and fantasy.
Drain the Swamp!
The way Comey handled the Clinton E-mail investigation was a total sham. When Mrs. Clinton was questioned by the FBI she was never put under oath. It was just an informal question and answer session.
Then Comey gave immunity to all the parties involved with setting up the the illegal server. Oh, then Comey let Clinton DESTROY her computers.
That whole e-mail investigation was a cover up from day one.
Comey had to go and thankfully Trump is draining the swamp.
