The new, temporary FBI Director Andrew G. McCabe says that employees loved Comey:
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe Thursday rejected assertions by the White House that FBI employees had lost faith in James Comey and that the bureau's probe into Russian election meddling was one of its most minor concerns. "I hold Director Comey in the absolute highest regard. I have the highest respect for his considerable abilities and his integrity," McCabe told members of the Senate intelligence committee. He said Comey, who was fired by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, enjoyed "broad support within the FBI and still does to this day." He added, "The majority, the vast majority of FBI employees enjoyed a deep, positive connection to Director Comey."
Furthermore, he will inform the Senate of any interference with the Russia investigation:
Acting FBI director Andrew McCabe vowed Thursday that he would tell the Senate Intelligence Committee if the White House tried to interfere with the bureau's probe of possible coordination between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election — though he asserted that there had "been no effort to impede our investigation to date."
Meanwhile, President Trump has undermined the White House's messaging on Comey's firing, saying that he planned to fire "showboat" and "grandstander" James Comey regardless of any recommendation from Attorney General Jeff Sessions or Deputy Attorney General Ron Rosenstein. The President also insists that he is not under FBI investigation.

We told you your candidate was bad. Because either we had better information or were better thinkers.
Please. You won.
Get over it.
Now the egg will be on your face because we told you so. You can deny it's there but that just means we can laugh at you walking around with rotten smelly slime smeared across your face.
It's ok not to know everything the better of us won't fault you for that. But we will mock you until you grow the fuck up.

You know, it's generally inadvisable rhetorically to conclude with "grow the fuck up" after you've hurled invective like a pimply freshman who just got schooled in debate class. It's fine and perfectly human to be impassioned, but hone your words to razors that cut because they are true, and acute. "Neener-neener" does not meet that standard. "I'm right and you're wrong, because reasons. So, there!" does not meet that standard.
I gambled on Trump because the TPP had to be killed and I was certain Hillary would not do it. That gamble paid off, thank goodness. There was also a small chance that he might kick some of the Deep State in the balls, because he could and the rabble would love him for it. The jury's still out on that one. All the rest is irrational, tribal hysteria that has little to do with real outcomes for real people like us.
Washington DC delenda est.

Oh JFC you actually voted for trump?
And because of the TPP?
That was dead no matter what.
Man, the fact that you thought the TPP was still in play really reveals how little you actually understand the US political system.
Also explains why you are so butthurt. You know you enabled the biggest threat to american freedom in living memory, probably much longer, and you can't own it.
Shame on you.
