Crime: Trump Fires Comey

~ < 1 of audio

Author note. 

Explore voice = Exploratory style. Very punchy. Personal, and lively using “me,” “you,” “us,” and “I” freely.

I want you to feel me right there with you. We use “I” and “me” and “us” without apology. If the Explain voice is a bridge, the Explore voice is the hike we take across it. It is lively, reflective, and sometimes a bit raw. It is the sound of a shared exploration where I lead you by the hand, but we both discover the view at the same time.

This is where I get to think out loud. Not with definitions, we aren’t just looking at the facts; we are looking at how they feel and what they mean for our lives. I’m talking to you about what I’ve found and what I’m still figuring out. It is engaging because it is real, and it is reflective because it is honest.

The goal is real advice and enjoyable reading. I want to land on something you can actually use. It’s about being direct, being punchy, and making sure that by the time we reach the end of the page, we’ve both found something worth keeping.

And now the piece.

Crime: Trump Fires Comey

On May 9, Trump fired Comey. This is likely a crime: Obstruction of Justice. Mueller is sorting this out now. President Trump fires FBI Director James Comey while Comey was in Los Angeles addressing an FBI field office. Comey saw the announcement on TV and, at first, thought it was a joke. Comey returned from his trip on a government plane.

Verified: This act is not in dispute. Whether this act rises to a prosecutable crime is. Later, Trump admits on national TV that he did this because of the Russia investigation. He also tells the Russian spy master, “the pressure is off” in the oval office. We find out about this from Russia.
