As we reported last night, pretty much no one within the FBI had the slightest idea that Comey's firing was coming. Even Comey himself, according to the New York Times, learned of his dismissal on the news and thought it was just a prank.
It was a return to the old, familiar routine on Wednesday morning, when President Trump went after Democrats on Twitter for their reaction to his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.
"The Democrats have said some of the worst things about James Comey, including the fact that he should be fired, but now they play so sad!" the president tweeted Wednesday.
The Democrats have said some of the worst things about James Comey, including the fact that he should be fired, but now they play so sad!
The Democrats have gotten their wish from just 6 short months ago; James Comey is no longer Director of the FBI - fired yesterday for his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server. The former FBI director apparently thought it was a prank when he saw news of his dismissal on TV while giving a speech to employees at the Los Angeles office.
Democrats loved Comey before they hated him, and now love him again
The US and Jordanian military forces may be prepping a massive invasion of Syria, if intelligence reports gathered from surveillance drones suggest.
Following reports today that President Trump confirmed US will provide arms directly to The Kurds to fight ISIS, AlMasdarNews.com reports, Damascus is reportedly on high alert after some 400 American and Jordanian military vehicles were located at a Jordanian military base near the Syrian desert border earlier today.

Now that the cheering over the French election has died down, reality will strike France and Germany like a cold bucket of water thrown in one’s face on a Winter’s day.
Germany was guaranteed to not like the result no matter who won. The final choice was between an anti-EU Marine Le Pen and a budget-comingling Emanuel Macron who needs EU treaty changes to get what he wants.
And in France, buyer’s remorse has set in. Unions are already protesting against Emmanuel Macron’s policies.
