Dude! I've given you ONE reason.. And, I've given it to you many times.. He simply broke the law. What law, you ask?? He fired James Comey to OBSTRUCT the Russia investigation.. Then he admitted it to Lester Holt on national TV..

Ain't no more difficult than that..
Hey Dude the President can fire anyone he wants and now law was broken you Flaming Idiot LMAO
Dude! I've given you ONE reason.. And, I've given it to you many times.. He simply broke the law. What law, you ask?? He fired James Comey to OBSTRUCT the Russia investigation..
So which law did he break, seeing he could fire Comey for being too tall, a smoker, or even a unicorn, because he's the head of the Executive Branch?
As for some liberal subjective version of "obstruction", that isn't illegal, and he can't even be indicted for while in office, even if it were true, Comey's testimonies all over tv prove he hated Trump, still hates Trump, and had a strong admiration for Obama and Clinton. He said he loved Obama and hated to see him go. He also said that he was proud of his family for supporting Clinton and that he thought Clinton would win, thus did his last media statement in order to "not taint Clinton's Presidency".
As for your Lester Holt assessment, I've seen this interview a million times. He never says "I fired Comey for Russian collusion". What he does say is "he's a showboat. He's a grandstander". He says "I was going to fire Comey before", but never says why. He also points out that Rosenstein created the memo with the recommendation to fire Comey. Explain to me how Rosenstein can create a memo for why Comey should be fired, and then investigate Trump with a team composed of 17 members, all non Republicans, and many Clinton donors....
The liberal fact checkers would give you 4 pinnochios if you were a Republican, and say "Con has told 4,000 lies this year."
Lemme ask you this. Can Trump fire Rod Rosenstein if he were paid a bribe??? No, he can’t. Consequently, he can’t fire anybody for any reason as you suggest.
Can you make the leap between firing Comey and the Russian investigation he was pursuing??

Actually he can. He has executive privilege to fire any subordinate under the executive branch. It's why we have a team scrambling around, trying to find some mythological way to protect from Trump firing Rosenstein and/or Mueller.
James Comey quote-
"And although the law required no reason at all to fire an FBI director..."
Can you make the leap between firing Comey and the Russian investigation he was pursuing??
Not actually, because the FBI wasn't investigating Trump yet, according to itself. This is why they chose to tell us that Trump wasn't under surveillance (which would have been illegal) but was caught up in counterintelligence of an investigation on Russian tampering with the election.
And then? Comey, according to himself, said to Trump's face, you aren't the target of any investigation. https://youtu.be/ATDd9eCcNaI
According to Comey's own memos, Trump didn't try to obstruct anything, but rather he encouraged looking into anyone in his (Trump's) orbit.

BURR: Director Comey, did the president at any time ask you to stop the FBI investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. Elections?
COMEY: Not to my understanding, no.
BURR: Did any individual working for this administration, including the justice department, ask you to stop the Russian investigation?
Now I know members have said and press have said that a great deal has been made whether the president asked and indicated whether the president was the subject of any investigation, and my understanding is prior to your meeting on January 6th, you discussed with your leadership team whether you should be prepared to assure then President-elect Trump that the FBI was not investigating him personally.
COMEY:
I thought it was fair to say what was literally true. There was not a counterintelligence investigation of Mr. Trump, and I decided in the moment to say it, given the nature of our conversation.
Lemme ask you this. Can Trump fire Rod Rosenstein if he were paid a bribe??? No, he can’t. Consequently, he can’t fire anybody for any reason as you suggest.
Can you make the leap between firing Comey and the Russian investigation he was pursuing??
So if Hillary were President, and she would have definitely fired Comey as well, would you say the same thing?
GET REAL! There is nothing wrong with firing the idiot.
Will you witch hunters move on in life? Obama, Loretta Lynch, Lois Lerner, Eric Holder and Hillary were a thousand times more corrupt than Trump and they got a free pass.
Ya. But the FBI decided not to act on info about the Florida shooter because of the Russia investigation. And also, its not obstruction of justice. It’s simply him firing someone he doesnt like.
Cops don’t get to just start investigating just in case there’s a crime. That’s a violation of the 4th. So cops investigate for specific crimes they reasonabley suspect. Nothing more. Since the only reasonable suspicion in this case stems from a dossier created through Democratic Russian collusion, it looks like the investigation is fresh out of reasonable suspicion.
And since that one thing you listed isn’t a crime, and there’s no reasonable suspicion of anything else, I guess Trump stays. When the investigation is concluded, as I suspect is will be soon, you will get to see all of what they didn’t find.

Hello A:
WRONG! BUZZ! NADA!
Cops investigate if they THINK there's a crime.. If they get a HINT of a crime, they investigate.. If they SMELL a crime, they investigate.. DUDE.. Do you not know this???
Moreover, investigating someone is NOT a 4th Amendment violation.. WITHOUT permission, they can investigate till the cows come home.
On the other hand, SEARCHING someone WITHOUT a warrant is a violation of the 4th..

No Con, you're wrong. Like I said cops investigate for specific crimes they reasonably suspect. If they do otherwise, they risk lawsuit for feeling a hint because they are racist. They cannot just look at you and say "you look like a guy with drugs or weapons in your car, I'm going to detain you and check".
Utah v. Strieff is a non race based example. A veteran officer was watching a known drug house for buyers. A person making a very short visit to a drug house is a really good indication they just bought drugs. So after a buyer leaves the house, the cop stops him for no traffic related reason. He found the guy to have a warrant for his arrest. Great, then during the search which comes with all arrests, the cop found the meth that the man had just purchased. The problem is that the court did not consider the short term visit to a drug house to be reasonable suspicion of a crime. Meaning the stop was illegal. If the cop had articulated an observed traffic crime as the reason for the stop, all would have been legal. Since it wasn't the drug charges were dropped.
On the other hand, SEARCHING someone WITHOUT a warrant is a violation of the 4th..
This is also not the case. Again, cops must have reasonable suspicion. If they have time, they seek a warrant. When they are trying to convince a judge to issue a warrant, they still have to articulate reasonable suspicion in order for that judge to find the search and/or seazure reasonable in accordance with the 4th. If the cops don't have time to seek a warrant due to exigent circumstances, such as the risk of you flushing the coke their snitch showed them pictures of in your house, they can go right on into your house, detain you, and look around for things in plain view. While they do that, they have now secured enough time to seek a warrant.
Another example of searching you without a warrant is if there is a report of a guy who looks like you seen in the area you're in shooting a gun wrecklessly. When they get to you they can pat you down for a gun for safety purposes. But when they feel that meth pipe in your pocket, they can now search your pocket and retrieve it. It's nice that you weren't the shooter, but you're still under arrest. No warrant sought to search your pocket, yet no violation of your 4th because the search was reasonable.
thank you he was wrong but he did kick him out but he also cheated in the election he had Russian and china hack the election then covered it up like nothing
We only KNOW he fired Comey to OBSTRUCT the investigation because he ADMITTED it on TV.
1)He never says that in the interview.
2)How could he obstruct it when there wasn't an investigation of Trump yet... The Obama whitehouse claim was that Trump just got caught up in "counterintelligence", and that was the only reason he was under the surveillance, in order to then claim Trump wasn't actually under illegal surveillance.
Of course , look at all the muck raking and and constant allegations being made against the man and the muck rakers still have nothing , maybe that’s why they’re still sulking
I’d just like to say that I’m tired of these debates. We keep creating them and its the same result over and over. I dont care what party you are just stop it. Now, I’d like to keep Trump. If anyone wants to debate me, do so.
Trump is a Christian which is better than Islamic Obama, let's keep him. Trump is a Man which makes him better than Hillary, let's not make any new history; keep him. Trump is orange; Kanye West is charcoal, more vitamins and Citric acid, keep him.
he just build the border he is sending Mexicans back to Mexico that not right
That’s like saying that I’m building a fence around my house, and then anyone who tries to come in my house without my consent will be kicked out, and saying that it’s wrong. We need a border wall to better protect our country from foreign threats. Immigrants come to our country illegally, which is braking the law. Unless they come into our country with the necessary paperwork, they’re fine.
Sexual harassment allegations came before his election. There isn't any indication of obstruction of Justice or of Russian meddling (except from the Democrats). Top investigators have been looking for quite some time now.
no because he is building the wall in mexico and he mean to the Mexican so why would do we want him to be the president still , that is just stupid so can we vote for a nicer president.
The war is not because of him, all our old presidents decided to stay back, and b e chill with everything. HE IS THE PRESIDENT WE NEED! he is tired of our country being a pushover. and if we go to war, i will personally execute anyone who tries to oppose him. this includes everyone. Trump is by far one of the best presidents we have ever had. he sees the potential that no one else has. he will return us to the best country in the world. right now, we are complete shit. but not for long.
Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.
