U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) released the following statement on the White House’s announcement that President Trump has removed James Comey from his position as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
“Director Comey has served the country well in a number of different roles. Many, including myself, have questioned his actions more than once over the past year. I believe new leadership at the FBI will restore confidence in the organization and among the people who do the hard work to carry out its mission.”

Does Roy "fecal stain" Blunt know why he backs Trump? Because he is a party before country republican. In two months time he will be backing away from Trump then turning and running. Blunt is nothing but a money grubbing fool that is using his family of lobbyists to pad their pockets. Isn't it odd that der Trumpenfuhrer suddenly decided to fire Comey when he could have done it 2 months ago for the exact reason that the Russiahouse (used to be Whitehouse) gave as the reason for firing him now. The noose is tightening and soon the deed will be done. Special prosecutor and independent investigation in to the Russia ties will find both his businesses and candidacy is and was tainted by Russian connections for political favors and possibly blackmail. Let us hope that Lindsey Graham gets his wish and subpoenas Trump's tax returns and digs further into Trump's business dealings. GETCHA POPCORN READY!!!!! This is going to be good.
Yates was investigating Trump...fired, Bharara was investigating Trump...fired, Comey was investigating Trump...fired. Anyone old enough to remember the "Saturday Night Massacre" during Nixon's Watergate firings can recognize the futile attempt by Trump to end the investigation into his Russian connections. Nixon had the common sense to resign before being convicted, Trump lacks such common sense, which means he will be proven a traitor, and all that supported the "Groper-in-Chief" will be seen as the fools that supported him.
TRUMP.......You're FIRED!! And IMPEACHED!!! and IMPRISONED!!!!!
The Republicans have a lock on Congress, the White House, the Justice Department, and now the FBI. Comey will be replaced by someone who will derail the Russia investigation, and Mitch McConnell made it clear this morning that there will be no special prosecutor or bipartisan select committee to investigate ongoing Russian interference in our government.Trump had a "closed" Oval Office meeting this morning with two high-ranking Russian officials, one of whom the CIA has identified as a spy. The American press was not given access to the meeting, but details of the meeting as it occurred were tweeted from several Kremlin-controlled Twitter accounts. Recently in an interview on Fox News,Trump criticized the U.S. Constitution, saying it was bad for the country.Whatever is going on with Trump and his relationship with the Russians, we had better find out, but how do you do that if our government has already been co-opted? We're in serious, serious trouble.
How can anyone find any of the above comments anything but the truth and nothing but the truth except Long and other Trump, Blunt and McConnell followers. When will the electorate realize this is just the beginning and next will be us. What a shame to dismiss such good career employees for following the trail that has so blatantly been left to follow. Sad day and glad I am 71 and will not see, I hope, the end of the American Way. Obit to follow.
After firing Jim Comey yesterday, today Trump invites two sleazy Russian agents in Putin's government into the Oval Office. One of them has been identified by our intelligence agencies as a Russian spy, and he's the one that Mike Flynn and Jeff Sessions spoke with more than once and later lied about it.It turns my stomach to think of these sworn enemies of the United States sitting in the Oval Office of our White House, no doubt taking great pleasure in how successful Russia has been and continues to be in attacking our country from within.
Since President tRump let only TASS into the Whitehouse there was no "fake news" today!
Blunt is on the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating Russia's interfering in our presidential election and whether or not there was collusion between members of Trump's campaign and the Russians. Comey was conducting a vigorous FBI investigation and sharing classified information with the Senate Committee.Trump fired him shortly after Comey had requested more funding to investigate more extensively. Blunt can read the writing on the wall as well as the rest of us who are paying attention to what's been going on. Is he an American, or a Republican politician who just doesn't care about anything other than power and money?
