How Does Comey's Fall Play in Hillaryland? No One Is Celebrating

Reports are that Trump supporters are furious with Hillary supporters for not backing the firing of Comey. President Trump himself totally underestimated the ability of Hillary supporters to get beyond our own anger at former FBI Director Comey and be even more concerned that Trump fired Comey hours after he asked for funding to expand his investigation into Russian interference in America's presidential election and possible collusion beteen Trump and/or members of the Trump team and Russia. 

The fact that Hillary supporters put our grave concerns about Trump his love for the Russians ahead of our frustration over Comey's role in costing Hillary the presidential election only confirms that Clinton supporters do not think in a linear path, as do Trump supporters -- and many Sanders supporters, as well.  Smithsonian.com explains in Study Predicts Political Beliefs With 83 Percent Accuracy. 

Other scans have shown that brain regions associated with risk and uncertainty, such as the fear-processing amygdala, differ in structure in liberals and conservatives. And different architecture means different behavior. Liberals tend to seek out novelty and uncertainty, while conservatives exhibit strong changes in attitude to threatening situations. The former aremore willing to accept risk, while the latter tends to have more intense physical reactions to threatening stimuli.

Also, we are well aware that Trump threw a smoke screen our way, trying to explain his firing of the FBI Director as a gesture on our behalf. No thanks, Mr. President. We're not buying your lame explanation.

Until Trump Fired FBI Director James Comey, Sally Yates Was The Heroine Headline In Tuesday News

Yesterday, America's brief interim Attorney General Sally Yates, who was fired by the Trump Administration for refusing to defend his Muslim ban, became what The Daily Beast calls "the early hero of the Trump era."

Until two hours ago when President Trump fired James Comey, America's FBI Director, Sally Yates was the person of the hour, after her professionally dazzling testimony on Monday before a Senate Panel investigating the Russian meddling in America's presidential election. 

On Monday, prior to the Senate hearing, NBC reported that in his first meeting with President Obama on November 10, President-elect Trump was advised not to hire General Michael Flynn for a key post in the administration. Trump ignored President Obama's warning and hired Flynn as his National Security Adviser, exposing him to all of America's top secrets. 

Yates clarified for Senators and the general public yesterday that upon reading an pre-report analysis of information gleaned by the FBI on Flynn, she was so concerned that she picked up the phone and called White House Counsel Donald McGahn, requesting an immediate in-person meeting. 

Yates said, “We believed that General Flynn was compromised with respect to the Russians," and that “logic would tell you that you don’t want the national security adviser to be in a position where the Russians have leverage over him.”

The White House fired Yates four days later and only fired Gen. Flynn 18 days later because of a leak to the Washington Post about Flynn's activities with the Russians.  In spite of the Trump administration's attempts to paint Sally Yates as a political hack prior to yesterday's testimony, Republican senators led by the committee chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham found her to be highly credible. 

Because of tonight's firing of FBI Director Comey, the plot has thickened dramatically around the aggressive tactics of the Trump administration.
