Jerry Pournelle had a very - very! - interesting angle on the firing of James Comey on his blog yesterday morning. Here's a very brief excerpt.
James Comey is a poisonous snake of the highest order… a deep-water Swamp Denizen who has been highly paid to deliberately provide cover for high-level corruption by the Clintons and Obama. He is has been central to trying to destroy the Trump campaign and then the Trump administration from the start. He is as dirty as they come in DC. He had highest-level cover (the FBI no less) and was deep into an effort to eliminate Trump. Trump had to move hard, fast, and at exactly the right time to cut the head off the snake without getting bitten by the snake or being finished by the other swamp denizens.
Begin by noticing how the President fired Comey when Comey was 3,000 miles away from his office, that Comey had no inkling he was being cut, that all his files, computers, and everything in his office were seized by his boss Sessions and the justice department. This was not a violation of protocol, it was tactical. Notice how Prez Trump compartmentalized the strike and did not inform any of his White House “staff” to prevent leaks. Notice how he emasculated Comey and the swamp denizens by letting them know in a tweet that the Attorney General got information (surveillance “tapes” from the seizure of Comey’s office) to let Comey and his handlers know that Trump’s DOJ has the goods on them. This was a brilliant, strategic and totally imperative move at exactly the right time against horrible, evil and corrupt powers infesting our government.
The swamp is on notice that the President is on to them, they are sweating bullets because their criminal games of corruption are being pursued and they know it. They are screaming and ranting because they are desperate denizens of the swamp who are beginning to realize they are roadkill.
There's much more at the link. I think it's a must-read.
If this is true, then the fireworks are just beginning - and they promise to be spectacular . . .

Hair-raising link to Pournelle! Thank you! Even though source is not documented, the lay of that chronological set of events leading to Comey as FBI Director easily can be traced, supported. In the meantime, it all feels exquisitely true, and calms my horror over the SJW and MSM hysteria and drum-beating.
Interesting to read that Ryan may be defending Comey, at least states that he disagrees with the President? (Breitbart)
Just to be clear, what Peter Grant is quoting here is what Jerry Pournelle himself was quoting from a message that was sent to him, not Jerry Pournelle's own opinion. Still, very thought provoking.
Comey was assistant FBI during the Bush 2 years, so he wasn't appointed FBI head with no prior experience.

It seems like President Trump makes a point of schooling people who underestimate him.
All phone calls to or from foreign leaders have been recorded since 1961 if not before. Often a foreign language is involved. I am sure that Trump knows that.
I sure hope the President's team is as sharp as all that.
