Trump Mocks ‘Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’ After Outrageous Firing of FBI Director: VIDEO

Chuck Schumer

Donald Trump took to Twitter late Tuesday night following the abrupt firing of FBI Director James Comey to react to a press conference held by Senator Chuck Schumer denouncing the dismissal.

Said Schumer, in part (watch full remarks below):

This is part of a deeply troubling pattern from the Trump administration. They fired Sally Yates. They fired Preet Bharara. And now they fired Director Comey, the very man leading the investigation. This does not seem to be a coincidence.

This investigation must be run as far away as possible from this White House, and as far away as possible from anyone that President trump has appointed. Given the way the president fired Director Comey, any person who he appoints to lead the Russia investigation will be concerned that he or she will meet the same fate as Director Comey if they run afoul of the administration.

The American people need to have faith that an investigation as serious as this one is being conducted impartially, without a shred of bias. The only way the American people can have faith in this investigation is for it to be led by a fearless, independent special prosecutor.

If Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein does not appoint an independent special prosecutor, every American will rightly suspect that the decision to fire Director Comey was part of a cover-up.

If we don't get a special prosecutor, every American will rightfully suspect that the decision to fire #Comey was part of a cover-up.

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) May 9, 2017

Tweeted Trump: “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer stated recently, “I do not have confidence in him (James Comey) any longer.” Then acts so indignant. #draintheswamp”
