President Trump's Latest Bombshell: FBI Director Comey Is Fired

David Sanger, chief Washington correspondent for The New York Times, reports on President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey, and then Jerrold Nadler, U.S. Representative (NY-10), weighs in and callers share their thoughts.
"The White House thought the cascade of Democrats criticizing Comey shielded them from backlash of firing Comey," says @SangerNYT.

"The investigated fired the investigator and that’s going to cause a real crisis of confidence," says @RepJerryNadler.

@RepJerryNadler cites that President Trump has fired Sally Yates, Preet Bharara and now James Comey as an effort to "thwart investigation." https://t.co/FTWR5zGlFX
