To The Reader’s Forum:

The firing of James Comey finally provides proof that Trump is afraid of the outcome of the investigation of his collusion with Russia during the election. The firing is Trump’s attempt at coverup. He supposedly made a “strong and decisive action” in one day about James Comey but took 18 days and being outed in the press to fire Flynn. Flynn is the man who has admitted to being an agent of Turkey and having received payments from Russian television.

Comey, on the other hand, has been investigating Trump and his cronies since July, having finally confirmed in an open session that Trump began feeling the heat. To use the excuse that Trump didn’t like Comey’s handling of the Hillary e-mail investigation way back in July and October is laughable. Trump had actually praised Comey during the campaign for having reopened the investigation. Trump’s hypocrisy knows no bounds and now he has shown his desire to be a Putin-like dictator by dismissing the man who was investigating him.
