Few FBI Directors last the full 10 years

Infographic: Few FBI Directors last the full 10 years  | Statista You will find more statistics at Statista


Earlier this week, FBI Director James Comey was fired as the agency investigates Trump campaign ties to Russia. The move has proven highly controversial in Washington with many Democrats comparing it to the “Saturday Night Massacre” of 1973 when Nixon fired the special prosecutor investigating Watergate.

Interestingly, Comey’s dismissal is only the second time the head of the FBI has been fired. The last time it occurred was during Bill Clinton’s presidency when the president dismissed William S. Sessions in totally different circumstances. Generally, as can be seen from the following infographic featured in the Independent, the position of FBI chief doesn’t involve a high level of job security.

America would have been far better off if J. Edgar Hoover hadn’t lasted 10 MINUTES. He set the precedent for rampant crime and corruption in the FBI and the agency (and every other government spy agency) has followed that lead. Meanwhile, the worthless garbage that has infested our Congress (with a few exceptions like Ron Paul) simply allowed all of these crimes to go unchallenged.

Dear Donald,
Ignore the media concerning that dick Comey. Do something else “BIG” that will set their hair on fire. Then when they bite on that do something else. Comey will drop off the front pages.

Keep the bastards off balance.
