Nikka went
to save himself from the fukkery fallout.Always reminded of a great scene in "Margin Call"
Kevin Spacey- You are panicking.
Jeremy Irons- If you're the first out the door, that's not called panicking.
Should've known this fukkboy wouldn't be able to stay out of the spotlight for long
Him, Hannity and Baier are about to become the trifecta of the most punchable faces on cable news.

He's incriminating himself on a daily basis. They need to actually take action. There's more than enough proof they already have of him threatening people who are about to testify over twitter to try to get them to stop. Just off his twitter alone they have witness tampering and obstruction of justice. If the party won't bring him down, the Feds need to unveil the dirt that has the whole party compromised so they can all get brought down too and then this guy is cooked. They gotta hurry though before him and North Korea start world war 3.

Conventional wisdom has been destroyed with this man....regular rules do not apply and any logic that "xyz" he does will lead to the medium outcome doesn't work. You need a fullblown nuclear meltdown on Twitter so bad just short of him posting the nuclear codes or calling for the assassination of a prominent country leader needs to happen first. Egg him on or be stuck with him. If you want it airtight you must keep egging him on to Bolivia.

He's on twitter clearly trying to bully china into whacking Kim Jong Un as well, telling them "take care of the problem or we will". shyt we might need MI6 to help bail us out too. Them and the FBI gotta publish something so damning that the only way to appease the public is impeachment and criminal charges or we may be looking st nuclear winter and a crater where Seoul presently stands. This guy is gonna get friendly nations attacked to try and distract from treason.
I've been in Cuba since last Friday. I finally decide to pony up a few bucks for an hour of wifi and the fukkery from this administration did not disappoint.
Atleast he didn't start another international incident while I was gone.
Goddamn man. Trumpset, y'all happy about this banana republic shyt?

Will Trump Be the First to Politicize the FBI?
...
Even so, that independence is a fundamental bulwark of our impartial justice system, the idea that no individual in the country is above the law. The Trump administration appears to be considering undoing that long-standing tradition for no apparent reason—and without any real protest from official Washington. Anyone like Cornyn, Ayotte or Gowdy would be historically unprecedented.
While they have served as state attorneys general, neither Cornyn nor Ayotte has any experience in federal law enforcement, as either an investigator or a prosecutor. And Gowdy, who did a brief stint as a federal prosecutor, is most publicly known for leading the uniquely political House investigation into the Benghazi attacks. “You know, people often ask Trey Gowdy and myself, what did our investigations do?” Representative Darrell Issa told a Boston radio station last year. “What they did is that they opened up an opportunity for the American people to sort of smell what’s in the garbage can.” That approach, the deployment of investigations as a way to settle or expose political scores, is precisely what the FBI has tried to avoid for a half-century.
Moreover, an elected official would potentially come to the job with compromising baggage and conflicts of interest, past financial ties or donation histories that overlap with potential investigatory targets—precisely the kind of overlaps that led to the mess of Comey’s press conference last summer, in which he felt that Attorney General Loretta Lynch wouldn’t be trusted by the American people as the ultimate arbiter of charges against the former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton.
Similarly, political elected officials have a track record of policy advocacy and their own agendas that might clash with the bureau’s law enforcement and intelligence traditions. During her time in the Senate, Ayotte, for instance, was an outspoken proponent for mandatory military custody of terrorism suspects—the exact opposite position than the one the FBI has strenuously argued ever since September 12, 2001. Such positions wouldn’t endear her to the FBI’s rank and file—and indeed didn’t during that debate in 2011 and 2012, when she was arguing against the FBI’s approach to counterterrorism cases.
The consideration of such political figures seems particularly odd given the circumstances of the vacancy in the FBI director’s suite: The controversy around Comey’s steps into the 2016 campaign only underscores how and why the FBI director is supposed to remain fiercely apolitical. It seems hard to imagine that, had President Hillary Clinton fired Comey this spring, Republicans would cheer his replacement with a Democratic senator like Amy Klobuchar or congressman like John Conyers or Jerry Nadler.
Today, in the midst of perhaps the most sensitive and widest-ranging political investigation in its history—an investigation that centers on whether and how America’s top global adversary, which the FBI has battled continuously for seven decades, interfered with the most precious traditions of American democracy—the idea that the Trump administration would consider undoing long-standing tradition by promoting an elected official into the most powerful law enforcement role in the country appears to be another assault on the bureau’s cornerstone tenets and its much-heralded independence.
If anything, in fact, what the FBI needs right now is a leader above reproach—a leader in the mold of all those who have come before him or her, a long-standing, respected Justice Department official without any ties to a political party or elected office. Such an appointment would underscore that the bureau belongs not to a president or a party but to the American people.

every appointed position should require 60 votes. I don't care if it would take forever, it'd force more compromise.

Great theory in principle, but overall I'm glad FBI Director isn't like that. Sure this psychotic fakkit is going to try to hire a stooge to save his ass, but this is a wild exception. The Republic*nts would stonewall and politicize every Director a Democrat ever tried to appoint. The 10 year term and non-political nature of the position works well (Comey was an R and the Feds may bring down the entire party by the end of this case). I would, however, make FIRING an acting Director require Senate/Congressional approval.
