The firing of FBI Directory James Comey is going to have a ripple affect throughout the agency. As the head of the bureau, Comey would decide on the direction of major investigations. Smaller tasks are handled and assigned to others within the government agency, but in terms of major investigations, it is always the director deciding on how to proceed.
In the final days before the November elections, Director Comey announced the FBI was re-opening its investigation on the Democratic candidate. Comey’s resulting decision to not charge Clinton—despite warning that other people could be charged if they did the same thing—along with his high bizarre handling of other investigations led President Trump to lose faith in Comey’s ability to steer the FBI in any kind of clear way.
As a business executive, Donald Trump is use to firing those he believes are not performing their jobs as they should. President Trump became a household name with his tagline “Your Fired” on The Apprentice, and this did not simply come about on accident. When an individual is not conducting their executive position as they should, Donald Trump has proven time and time again he has a very short leash.
News of this story is reaching every country around the world, including Russia. One local reporter was able to catch Russian President Vladimar Putin just before Putin took part at an exhibition hockey game. What did President Putin have to say about the firing? Watch the video to find out.
