He could fire him for any reason he wanted, and his traitor of a role in a bogus investigation which was only a harassment or an attempted coup seems like a good enough reason to me.

Faith writes: Choice between your sources and mine I go with mine. The difference being that my sources are based on facts.
And the Mueller investigation found some stuff to prosecute totally unrelated to its reason for existing. Here is a portion of the letter that spelled out the scope of the Special Counsels authority:
quote: That includes discovering if there were Russians involved with interference in our election. It also includes any other crimes that were discovered as part of this investigation, such as Michael Flynn lying about contacts with Russians or Manafort's tax evasion.
The whole thing about finding something to pin on Trump, the whole thing about Russian collusion by Trump or his campaign team, was a big fat indefensible and probably illegal fishing expedition and there are people connected to it who should be prosecuted but in the Democrats' current condition of third world/Fascist-Communist type corruption probably won't be. They started with fish, such as Trump campaign people knowing about the release of damaging Hillary emails before they were public.

If there was corrupt intent then it is a crime. It is also strange that you don't hold Biden to the same standard.

There was no "corrupt intent" in firing Comey, that's what I said. And since he could fire Comey for any reason whatever your "corrupt intent" is a bunch of baloney anyway.
I have no idea what you mean about Biden. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Faith writes: There was no "corrupt intent" in firing Comey, that's what I said. Using the same logic, there was no corrupt intent on Joe Biden's behalf even if he fired Shokin to stop an investigation into the company his son worked for.
And since he could fire Comey for any reason whatever your "corrupt intent" is a bunch of baloney anyway. A judge can rule any which way that judge wants to rule, but it is still illegal if a judge takes money from the defendant and then rules in favor of the defendant. Are you sure you understand what corruption is, or how morality and ethics works?

The firing of Comey did not affect the investigation in any way at all, let alone stop it. The comparison is bogus.
And Comey lied to Trump and leaked stuff he shouldn't have.

I thought you said Biden supposedly had Shokin fired to stop an investigation, so what ARE you talking about? In any case Trump had no such motive and it didn't stop the investigation. Give it up. Hard as you all work to find corruption in Trump's doings there is none.

In any case Trump had no such motive and it didn't stop the investigation. Then you shouldn't have a problem with what Biden did since those same things apply.

Biden bragged about threatening Ukraine with the withdrawal of aid if they didn't fire the prosecutor. Trump fired Comey because he lied and leaked information. I see no comparison.

Faith writes: Biden bragged about threatening Ukraine with the withdrawal of aid if they didn't fire the prosecutor. Why is that a problem? I would have bragged, too. What Biden did was a big win for Western democracies that were trying to fight corruption in Ukraine. He should have bragged about it.

That's just Democrat spin. It really isn't at all clear that the firing was for any other reason than that the prosecutor WAS investigating matters relating to Biden's son. And there is no reason to believe the prosecutor was corrupt either. And the whole accusation of Trump is nuts, but maliciously nuts the way all the stuff against him has been.

And there is no reason to believe the prosecutor was corrupt either. multiple republican senators (and other's within the international community) agreed with the move to get rid of the prosecutor. It wasn't Biden acting on his own. Republican senators echoed Biden in urging Ukrainian president to reform prosecutor general's office | CNN PoliticsIt's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor
