James Comey



              President Trump fires FBI Director, James Comey. The White House Office insists that they fired James Comey because of this mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email server hack. Also his mishandling of many other cases, and not doing the job as well as the Trump Presidency would like. This was a shock many, because the FBI director doesn’t get fired very often and how Trump praised Comey for being such a good FBI director during his campaign. After he was fired the democrats claimed he was fired for investigating Trump and Russia and some would say that he was getting to close to the truth.  Whatever is going on this firing of Mr. Comey has brought a landside of attention towards Trump.



              This is not a good situation for President Trump to be in right now he hasn’t even given a real reason why he was fired. Unless there is really something between Trump and Russia, although this seems like a stretch it’s really not, Trump is in dangerous situation right now. Some people have pointed out seems a little Watergate Nixon like when Nixon started getting rid of people who knew too much. Watergate started when Nixon’s own party turned against him and signs of this have started to show in the Trump administration with some republicans getting worried on what Trump is doing. Now for this happen Trump would have to cause a lot more friction to be impeached so it is highly unlikely he will be impeached.



This directly deals with the court case we learned in class about Nixon V United States when the people and Nixon’s own party turned against him. Now I’m not saying this is happening to Trump but there is chance is this could happen given the information he have now. For this to occur it would take the Republican Party to impeach Trump just like Nixon, although it is highly unlikely.  This is a dangerous time for trump that reminds a lot of people of Nixon Watergate.
