    Insubordination will get you fired at most any level of government, especially with your direct bosses..... To bad the mainstream U.S. media don't want the public to know the truth......

    Trump had no right to know the testimony content in advance. Trump thinks he is running one of his dodgy companies not a country.

    ElaineB that isn't how government works. You bosses have every right to know what you're doing! Comey isn't the president or attorney general both of which he works for. The president is the only one elected by the voters and by constitution it's his show not Mr. Comey. What Comey did is gross insubordination nothing more nothing less

    It's more like that Trump does not want the public to know the truth. For a real joke, Putin has said that Trump did the right thing !!!

    Trump also said that the FBI staff did not like or respect Comey.

    McCabe, the interim FBI head says he “enjoyed broad support” at the time of his sacking.

    Whom do we believe ? Not difficult ,is it !

    Nonsense. The President is not entitled to know the content of an investigation that could implement him. He knew that and said as much in a recent interview. You are completely wrong.
