Recently, President Donald Trump fired (now former) FBI Director Jame Comey, allegedly because of how he chose to handle the Hillary Clinton email scandals. Whether or not you believe that is the actual reason is up to you, but there may be more to the story than that. Comey has been supervising the investigation into the Russians and any connection they had with the previous presidential election, where there were rumors of Trump consorting with the Russians to help win the election. While there has been no hard evidence to support this claim, it does raise up some questions and suspicions about why Trump would fire the FBI director who was supervising an investigation into him.
Despite the rumors as to if Trump was involved with the Russians to help him win the oval office, President Trump went on the record to say that his reasoning for firing Comey was because of a recommendation from Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein criticized Comey's handling of the Clinton investigation, saying that he was harsh in his dealings with the investigation and made it worse by reopening the case right before the elections. The truth of these remarks are another story all together, but I can't help but wonder if there is more going on to this than what Rosenstein and Trump are saying to the public. Maybe it's because I watch way too many crime shows, but what is said and what is the truth are not always the same thing. It is entirely possible that Trump fired Comey because of his investigation into the president, or it may be only because of how Comey handled Clinton's case. The point of the matter is that we may never know the full truth behind it all, and that we can only hope for an even better FBI Director to take his place.
In case Trump is reading this, I would be happy to apply for the position of FBI Director. I've seen Criminal Minds and I can be easily bribed to do your bidding (kidding. Or am I?)
