USA File: Trump to Comey: “You’re fired!’; in rare move for a US president, The Donald (finally) terminates troublesome FBI director over ongoing probe into Team Trump’s alleged links to Kremlin, dismissal will restore “public trust and confidence”; Democratic politicos foam at mouth, compare Comey sacking to Richard Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre”; Sen. Bob Casey bristles: “This is Nixonian”; Sen. Ron Wyden fulminates: “Outrageous,” summons Comey to testify to Congress about “status of Trump-Russia investigation”; Assange, holed up in Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012, tweets: “FBI source says the FBI will now start leaking like Niagara,” “Mr. Comey knows where many bodies are buried”; Revolutionary Communist Party front RefuseFascism.org to protest Comey firing outside Trump Tower; CNN sources say DOJ preparing to arrest WikiLeaks founder on charges of posting 1000s of files stolen by ex-US Army intel analyst Bradley/Chelsea Manning, believes Assange also helped Edward Snowden; Trump-appointed CIA Director Pompeo: “It’s time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is: A non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia”

Commies for Comey? If both the Democrats and Bob Avakian’s far-left nutjob outfit want him in, then you know he’s got to go.

Dumping Comey is where Trump’s presidential caliber really shines through, although it should’ve been done a few months ago. Still, we’ll need more of that type of leadership if the American Republic is to be restored to its Constitutional parameters.
