Josh Holmes: ‘Idea’ Trump Could Bury the ‘FBI Investigation By Firing’ Comey ‘Is Laughable’
This is a modal window.
EXCERPT:
HOLMES: Sure. And that sort of gives you whiplash too. But I think that the important part is, was he the best person to lead the department? And I think there was broad bipartisan consensus that he was not. And so it – the decision in and of itself to have – to remove him as director of FBI, I don’t think should be all that controversial. It’s the timing, of course, which gives people pause, but also the rollout. And I think what’s happened here is that the administration has created a lot more smoke for itself that is necessary.
The investigation that Director Comey and the FBI are taking goes on. The idea that in 2017 you could somehow bury an FBI investigation by firing the director is laughable at best. And there’s two other separate congressional investigations that hare happening simultaneously. So, we’re going to get to the bottom of this regardless of whether Director Comey is at the FBI or not.
