BTW, what's really sadly hilarious about this is the ostensible reason given for firing Comey: the way he handled Hillary's email.
<img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/25rl0n5.jpg"> It's like a big "fuck you" to the Dems.
In a memorandum, Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein accused Comey of causing “substantial damage” to the FBI’s “reputation and credibility” through his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. Rosenstein was only confirmed by the Senate on April 25.
In the memo, he said Comey erred by announcing in a press conference on July 5 that Clinton would not be prosecuted, saying the “FBI Director is never empowered to supplant federal prosecutors and assume command of the Justice Department.”
Comey’s comments about Clinton’s “extremely careless” handling of classified information, which Republicans seized on during the 2016 presidential election, were “a textbook example of what federal prosecutors and agents are taught not to do,” Rosenstein wrote.
They honestly think this crap will pass the smell test?
Maybe the smartest political move Trump's made. He can pretend to care about fairness while appointing someone even worse.
Or maybe Comey was closing in on something and tRump wanted to send a message.
Let's see a pissed off Comey just release a ton of details.
… I can dream, right?

Oh it's nuthin but a possible Fox headline.
That's weird. It's a Fox News screen shot with the chyron saying "JAMES COMEY RESIGNS."

I think he has to appoint one first. But why waste time?
