Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Lods]

Democracy died in the US today.

Trump has sacked FBI Director Comey.  Yep, the same guy who was in control of the investigation of Trump's campaign.  To add a note of irony to it, Trump did so based on a memo which said Comey was unfair to Hillary Clinton regarding the so-called email scandal :

This is being compared to "The Saturday Night Massacre" in which Nixon sacked Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor investigating Nixon over the Watergate scandal.

Presumably, Trump will appoint a stooge whose main role is to kill the investigation into the Trump campaign.

That's the argument the left will mount......(although they called for his head when he "sunk" Hillary.)

Some on the right will argue that the bloke should have been fired long ago.....(although that's not the argument they would have mounted when he "sunk" Hillary.)

Hypocrisy on both sides :

Comey strikes me as a show-pony who thrived on the attention.
Not the right man for the job

As for the investigation into the campaign ...wait and see...any attempt to cover it up will be very transparent.
