Ironic that @POTUS said he decided to fire Comey because the FBI was in "turmoil." Nothing seems more tumultuous at the moment than this WH. — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS just shoots down his own admin's claim that he fired Comey on rec of Dep AG. I mean, can this get more tangled? — PolitiTweet.org

McCabe made what seemed to be a forthright, professional presentation to the Senate Intel commitee. How long will he last? — PolitiTweet.org

Holy Gucifer! "I think what Comey did to Hillary was disgraceful,” Stone said. “I’m glad Trump fired him over it.” https://t.co/hgMlQccn1g — PolitiTweet.org

Could it be @POTUS wanted to pose with the Russian spymaster because he thought the photo would be slimming? https://t.co/V7RI5pZal2 — PolitiTweet.org

Feels like McConnell will do a full Merrick Garland on special prosecutor or commission unless shifting politics force his hand. — PolitiTweet.org

Depressing but, sadly, not surprising to see leaders retreat to partisan battle stations on Comey firing. https://t.co/cQK02ONYSH NYTimes: — PolitiTweet.org

FBI Director learned of firing from TV monitors while addressing staff in CA. Apprentice contestants were dispatched with more class. — PolitiTweet.org

Holy smokes! Talk about misreading the moment!! https://t.co/nMeG3c9dxj — PolitiTweet.org

I mean, I know how...but that clearly is what should happen. https://t.co/WxWNLdyc4B — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

AG recommended firing to protect "integrity" of FBI and DOJ. Now that gigantic cloud hangs over both, how do you avoid a special prosecutor? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It took 18 days and a leak before Flynn was fired for lying to VP on Russia. Comey was out in a flash, upon receipt of Rosenstein meno. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Note that Sessions, who had to recuse himself from overseeing the Russia probe Comey was leading, made the official rec that he be fired. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Rosenstein's legit critique of Comey would wash under other circumstances. But can we honestly believe this is why POTUS fired him? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

WH sending out press coverage of Dem criticism of Comey won't wash away the stench of coverup. This was a disastrous decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Sad for the country that any decision DOJ and FBI make now will be shrouded in suspicion. It's a hammer blow to the integrity of our system. — PolitiTweet.org
