Didn't See it Coming? I am NOT Surprised

The left is in a complete tizzy as Mr. Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.


The firing of Mr. Comey as FBI director shows two things. One, that it is unlikely that the FBI was spying on the Trump team, and two, it was clearly the right decision.

Actually, the two reasons are really one. The news reported that Mr. Comey found out he was fired as he was talking to a group of FBI agents in L.A., and the screen behind him flashed the news. I can just image how this went.

Mr. Comey: " I just want to tell all you agents here that I am on top of things, and us here at the FBI know EXACTLY what is going on in this Country. Yes sir, nothing gets past me. In fact, I showed those Senators at the hearing, and I showed the President that he can't push me around. He now knows that I have intricate knowledge into the inner workings of Washington, and I have my finger on the pulse. In fact, I sent a strong message to him that I can and will disagree with him publicly whenever I damn well want to", At that point a loud gasp goes up from the crowd. Comey can feel the power, so he continues, " and there is nothing he can do about it!"  He stops and pauses for the thunderous applause.

Crickets

Gently, one of his aides turns him around and shows him the screen. And leads him away quietly from the silent and stunned room.

This whole sad  fiasco shows that Director Comey has NO CLUE about what was going on, and  THAT shows that he heads a bumbling agency that knows nothing, and can do nothing but leak information that hurts the current administration ( also, incidentally, his boss). So I posit to you that if they are so incompetent that NO ONE in the agency at all had even an inkling as to what was happening, they are probably too incompetent to carry out a decent surveillance.

Come on, is it really surprising that he got fired? I saw it coming. The way the entire e-mail thing was handled, that he should have indicted her in the first place, then he re-opened the investigation, just to close it so quickly, coupled with the State department meddling without penalty in the investigation, added to his public denials of the surveillance, and public obfuscating about Russian interference (should have done it the other way around, or obfuscated on everything. he's shown he can do it)  finalized by his saying he was nauseated by his actions, I am just surprised it didn't happen in day one or two.

There is no way that he could be an effective leader to anyone who is even the least bit sympathetic or in favor of the current administration. The Democrats really think that things are going to continue as usual, and Mr. Trump is not going to make any of the 3,000 appointments that he is able to? That the President is going to continue to allow the entrenched Obama holdovers to continue to make and support policies he doesn't believe in? He is much smarter and shrewder than that. And they are much more arrogant than even I thought.

So goodbye Mr. Comey, and lets hope the next director can get his (or her) house and agents in order.
