Help Wanted Sign Posted outside FBI headquarters?
If you're in the market for a new job and want a change of pace a look no further then the united states federal bureau of investigation. After the removal of former director Comey the spot has now been opened up for a new Trump nominee. As with previous Trump nominees the new director for the FBI is expected to be rejected by the Democratic party, but it has less to do with the nomination itself. The democratic senate party refuses to vote on a Republican nominee until an independent investigator is appointed to look in to the presidents and his associates ties to Russian affiliates. The recent news of cyber attacks and the results of the election has put Russia on the radar of many government officials. The reasoning behind this would be to prevent the president from placing a ally in a high position of authority within the justice system to ensure no more investigations are made surrounding the results of the elections, but these are just rumors and speculation. So far our possible nominees include two former FBI agents, a former Texas judge who is now a senator, a Michigan republican senator and a former appeals court judge during the Bush administration from New York all of whom are viable candidates for the position. What I found concerning about this article is the almost uncalled for firing of Comey and the response we got from the U.S ambassador who said that Trump is the president "The president is the CEO and can fire whoever he wants". Not only is it suspicious that Comey was fired like this but the mindset that Trump is the CEO to just another one of his businesses is disturbing. America is our home, our land and property, our government is not just a board of directors sitting around trying to come up with ways to fill their pockets and take out their opponents they are the trusted officials who we elected to be our representatives and the keeping order and upholding justice while protecting our liberties. America is not just another business for Trump to make money which is what Nixon tried to do with the Watergate scandal. What is our opinion on the whole situation and how much trust do you have for Trump?https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-administration-races-to-fill-fbi-job-amid-democrats-resistance-1494804820

Wow, The line where you spoke about the U.S ambassador and how he said that Trump is the president "The president is the CEO and can fire whoever he wants", before i continued to read i automatically thought about his businesses. As i said in kenighs post, he is doing what he does best and its being a business owner. I don't trust him not one bit but i believe that he has enough knowledge to end up coming on top. he's just switching the management
ReplyDeleteHonestly I agree with Kevin. He is treating this like one of his businesses and removing those who interfere with that business. Notice how those who dig into the relationship with Russia are being weeded out and fired. This sequence of events is super suspicious and the fact that he is still not being pressed on is concerning. There have already been rumors of Russian interference which I'm sure we're actually confirmed unless I'm wrong. We elected him as a country now we are sitting idle while the play us like pawns in a game of chess. We have no power in this situation but as a country I feel we need to be holding him more accountable. What is Trumps plan and is it so bad that he has to be so shady in order to accomplish it.
ReplyDeleteI think I speak for everyone when I say that no one fully trust Trump. It was already a hard pill to swallow knowing that he would be our president, but now his true colors are showing. The things he promised are not coming true(except for the wall). What that U.S ambassador said about Trump being CEO is exactly why our country will be run into the ground. We know that Trump is doing detrimental things. Yet majority of America. Chooses to turn a blind eye and let him do what he wants. Especially with the situation with Russia. He let Russia's media inside the meeting but not American media coverage. Then an article was released saying that he might have given them important information. With this knowledge, it is only common sense to stop him before he does anymore damage. Yet I'm sure he is payed back watching Netflix as you are reading this. What will it take America? If you are not going to fight for equality at least fight to get this man out of office.
