Trump Fires FBI Director

President Trump has recently exercised a power of his as the head of the executive branch, by firing James Comey, the former head of the FBI.  According to both Comey and CNN, there are two main reasons that the President fired the former head.  The first, the former head had failed, and even refused, to assure President Trump of any continuous loyalty toward him.  The second, the current investigation on President Trump and any association with Russia in the recent presidential election has been accelerating, proven by the former National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, receiving a subpoena from the Senate Intelligence Committee, demanding all "documents regarding his interactions with Russian Officials."  The White House's official statement claims that the real reason had to do with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein writing a report about how poorly Comey handled the Hillary Clinton Email investigation.  However, Trump's letter to Comey about the reason for firing him did not contain anything to do with the Email investigation.  You can read more about President Trump firing James Comey here, and more about the Senate subpoenaing Micheal Flynn here. 

I do not personally think that James Comey should be fired from the Head of the FBI for doing his job.  If the President did have a connection with Russia in the recent election that may have influenced his election, then I think that the people should know about it.  While the President is able to oversee parts of the bureaucracy and can fire and hire the heads of certain organizations at his discretion, I believe he should have a reasonable argument.  If the President did something illegal, he would not be allowed to just declare it legal, so why should he be able to hide something illegal by firing those investigating him.  Whether the President actually had connections with Russia is still yet to be proven, but I hope the truth is revealed.
