“While the President has the legal authority to remove the Director of the FBI, I am disappointed in the President's decision to remove James Comey from office. James Comey is a man of honor and integrity, and he has led the FBI well in extraordinary circumstances. I have long called for a special congressional committee to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 election. The president's decision to remove the FBI Director only confirms the need and the urgency of such a committee.”

3. Blahblah blahblah blahblahBLAH

John McCain - big talk, zero action.

John McCain - same old pile of self-serving crap as he ever was.

John McCain - isn't it really time we stopped giving a shit about this has-been hack?

4. The stain of Palin is too deep in his skin. McCain spawned

The entire Stupid movement when he brought that torturous disease upon us. Unlocked every lunatic.

5. "James Comey is a man of honor and integrity." Give me a break. His behavior has been diabolical.

Seriously, who should we replace Comey with? Jason Chaffetz?

7. "...but I will, of course, vote to confirm any RW stooge he nominates as a replacement"

8. I know I can count on Sen. McCain...

to speak loudly and do absolutely nothing.

9. John McCain...know him by his deeds

Never by his words alone.

Rarely walks the walk. Rarely.

He always votes party over country. Always.

11. How soon

before tRump announces Cindy McCain to an administrative post? Rumors have been flying, maybe little lumpy Johnny is anxious. This should do the trick. It worked with McConnell. To shut him up, his wife got a cushy job in the administration. They must really need her paycheck.

13. After yesterday's events I think McCain himself would Kebosh that

They don't need the money, her family has boatsfull...he has a legacy to protect. He knows how the game goes. He'll jump ship...albeit at the very last possible moment, but he won't go down with 45...he knows there's no honor in that, IMO.

15. Good on John McCain. He occasionally comes through with some integrity, a rare trait

in the GOP.
