      Via press release from the ACLU:

      The independence of the FBI director is meant to ensure that the president does not operate above the law. For President Trump to fire the man responsible for investigating his own campaign’s ties to the Russians imperils that fundamental principle.

      Regardless of how one judges the performance of James Comey in either the Hillary Clinton or Russia investigations, President Trump’s dismissal of a sitting FBI director raises serious alarm bells for our system of checks and balances.

      The terms of FBI directors were purposefully structured to span across sitting presidents to ensure the FBI’s independence and insulate the bureau from partisan politics. President Trump’s dismissal of Comey raises questions about the administration’s inappropriate meddling in bureau operations — precisely at a time when the bureau appears to be investigating the president, his advisors, and his campaign for potential collusion with Russian agents in our last election.

        Libtards just can't be right about anything.  One day they are condemning Comey for getting Trump elected.. even Hillary said that just 7 days ago.. but now that Trump fires Comey.. now the libtards attack Trump!  In the pigeon sized brains of the libtards.. Trump can do no right.    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/05/02/hillary-clinton-blames-comey-wikileaks-2016-election-loss/101203972/

          It doesn't matter what the topic is, they have a pathological need to villianize Trump.
