Tim Kaine: ‘This Russia Investigation Is Making Donald Trump Very Very Nervous’

‘There’s a reason you give an FBI director a ten year tenure’

EXCERPT:

KAINE: "I was critical of Director Comey and I am critical of Director Comey. But there’s a reason you give an FBI director a ten year term, a ten year tenure. Because they should be able to be criticized, but independent and free from being fired for the entire ten year term, whether Congress likes what director does  or whether the president likes or doesn’t like it, you give somebody a ten year term so they can act without fear of being let go. And -- so while I was critical I never called for him to be fired. He has to have independence. Any FBI director has to have independence. This Russia investigation is making Donald Trump very, very nervous, as his letter showed. That’s why I believe he was fired."
