[quote] WASHINGTON — President Trump has dismissed the director of the F.B.I., James B. Comey, on the recommendation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the White House spokesman, Sean Spicer, said Tuesday.
“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau,” Mr. Trump said in a letter to Mr. Comey dated Tuesday.
It is essential that we find new leadership for the F.B.I. that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission,” Mr. Trump wrote.
Officials at the F.B.I. said they were not immediately aware of Mr. Comey’s dismissal.
In a separate letter released at the White House, Mr. Spicer said that the president informed the director that he has been “terminated and removed from office.”
“The F.B.I. is one of our nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement,” Mr. Trump said in the statement.

He had some [i]interesting[/i] ideas about law enforcement. Like when Huma Abedin forwarded confidential documents to her husband's laptop. He said he didn't recommend pressing charges because it couldn't be proved that they intended to break the law. Everybody in govt knows about proper handling of sensitive, confidential documents, what you can and cannot do with them. They knew they were breaking the law and did it anyway. So he can't figure out their motives. So what. They broke the law and he believed they should get a pass. If you or I did the same thing we'd be in cuffs before you could say "federal offense."
