Wouldn't everything he does go through his boss Sessions?

§600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and—

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.

Comey's full letter:
To all:

I have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for no reason at all. I'm not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won't either. It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply.

I have said to you before that, in times of turbulence, the American people should see the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and independence. What makes leaving the FBI hard is the nature and quality of its people, who together make it that rock for America.

It is very hard to leave a group of people who are committed only to doing the right thing. My hope is that you will continue to live our values and the mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution. If you do that, you too will be sad when you leave, and the American people will be safer.

Working with you has been one of the great joys of my life. Thank you for that gift.

Jim Comey
Subtle ether towards Trump.

Rosenstein should have fought back publicly. I don't put confidence in people like him to begin with, but his confirmation hearing did not instil confidence in many people who want to see him stand up to Sessions and do what is right for the sole purpose of this probe.
:ohhh: I was under the impression he told the press he wasn't responsible. Makes sense

This lesser of 2 evils BS is pure Race Baiting
Be concerned about racism and support Trump brehs.:stopitslime:
Cause it was gonna go away under Hillary? Cause Hillary/her man never did any suspect shyt to black people? Haiti ring a bell?

Stop using this tired logic. It was a CAC vs a CAC for the election. You aren't more "black" or "concerned about racism" than anyone who picked a different cac than you. Sorry.
