Trump should consider his #1 accomplishment to be firing James Comey. That was the act of a great man. James Comey was a terrorist in the guise of a litigator, bent on destroying the freedom of every American. He imprisoned elderly women who bake cookies for a living for fun. He wanted to turn every iPhone owner in the world into the prospective criminals under eternal surveillance.
The FBI is just a generally shitty authoritarian organization. It does shitty things. Thankfully, it is no longer run by the international terrorist overlord James Comey. I am quite enjoying Trump taking the FBI down a peg. It's even more funny considering the FBI is notoriously conservative and supported Trump from the start, LOL.
Like, wow... Where do you get your drugs?
What are you talking about? Does your obsession with American authority blind you to James Comey's transgressions? You can be head of the FBI, an intelligent man and simultaneously spend your entire career throwing martha stewarts into prison and advocating for a surveillance state the likes of which has only existed in the minds authors like George Orwell.Like, wow...

I think many liberals have a short memory for when they were last violated and abused. You have fond memories of Obama that are somehow entangled with your actual memories of psychopath terrorist litigator James Comey making speeches about how Apple is aiding terrorists and how encryption itself should be illegal.
1 - Wanting the surveillance state is basically what every head of law enforcement wants
2 - Wanting a way around encryption is basically what every head of law enforcement wants
Both of these things make their job easier.
I'm aware of one questionable thing that Comey did. But "psychopathic terrorist"? The former head of the FBI? What possible basis do you have to make that assertion, or was it simply the most hyperbolic descriptor you could think of?

If 1 and 2 are the case then why aren't these numerous law enforcement officials making public campaigns to pressure congress or picking fights with tech companies by name at every turn?
You may be correct that every head of law enforcement wants those things but it seems that only James Comey was enough of an authoritarian to actually act on their desires.
The pathology doesn't really matter in the end, the result was that James Comey was a miserable FBI head who did nothing good for the country except be fired. In being fired, he did the only decent thing he's every done in his career and created a reason to call for a special prosecutor. I thank him for that and wish him good luck at the unemployment office. He would make a good tender at an ice cream stand with his long arms, hopefully he chooses that as his future career choice instead of law enforcement.
