Schumer: The Dismissal of Director Comey Establishes a Very Troubling Pattern

‘Mr. President, there is little reason to think that Mr. Rosenstein’s letter is the true reason that President Trump fired director Comey’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCHUMER: "The dismissal of Director Comey establishes a very troubling pattern. This administration has now removed several law enforcement officials in a position to conduct independent investigations of the president and his administration, from acting attorney general Sally Yates, to preet baharara and now Jim Comey. What should happen now? What must happen now is that Mr. Rosenstein appoints a special prosecutor to oversee this investigation. Deputy attorney general Rosenstein sat in the Judiciary Committee and promised to appoint a special prosecutor at the appropriate time. He said, quote, I'm willing to appoint a special counsel whenever I determine that it's appropriate."
