Ignorance of the law is no excuse and, last I knew, specific intent is not an element of the crimes that Sick Hillary committed. How does President Trump get a new FBI Director and get Comey off the job?
Thanks for clarifying. I thought President Trump has that power. I wish and pray he'd just do it. DRAIN. THE. SWAMP. Slowly but surely President Trump’s delivering, but, dang, why can't he move "saving children" up to the top of the list? Thanks again, lad.
Trump was alive during the Watergate scandal when Nixon fired the IG and others resigned (called the Saturday Night Massacre). It's a politically delicate subject, and he's already done it once, when he fired the acting AG. Although she was openly defying him rather than resigning, so she was baiting the reaction and it was justified. Trump has to tread carefully to make sure that it doesn't backfire on him in popular distaste. I have a feeling Comey will get his, but it's a matter of timing.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply, @jabba. It helps a lot to chat on here, just to get others' perspective on this frustrating and maddening topic. I'll stay hopeful, thanks to you.

It has been established here on Voat that POTUS can indeed fire the head of the FBI.
