Obaminable extended his term for two years.Ok cool thanks for clearing that up.
It is my recollection that the Director's term expires after 10 years to require a renomination, so the Director does not have to be "removed" or "impeached" and that satisfies the concerns of a "Hoover" having "control" for an unusually long time. It doesn't PREVENT the director from serving again as long as he goes through the nomination and approval process.
"Robert S. Mueller III was the first FBI Director to be appointed to a second term, and this was done under special statutory arrangements. He was first confirmed by the Senate on August 2, 2001, with a term of office that expired in September 2011. In May 2011, President Barack Obama announced his intention to seek legislation that would extend Mueller’s term of office for two years. Legislation that would allow Mueller to be nominated to an additional, two-year term was considered and passed in the Senate and the House, and President Obama signed the bill into law (P.L. 112-24) on July 26, 2011. Mueller subsequently was nominated and confirmed to the two-year term, and he served until September 4, 2013." https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R41850.pdf

Doesn't anybody check the facts before they start running their mouths?

Maybe you should do your own fact checking and not rely on "his holiness".
You need to listen to the testimony. He (Comey) wasn't asked about trump. The Senator specifically said the attorney general or senior officials at the department of justice. Did they ever halt an investigation? Comey said no they didn't. And that doesn't include trump.
From the NYTimes
WASHINGTON — President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.
“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.
The documentation of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia. Late Tuesday, Representative Jason Chaffetz, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, demanded that the F.B.I. turn over all “memoranda, notes, summaries and recordings” of discussions between Mr. Trump and Mr. Comey.
Such documents, Mr. Chaffetz wrote, would “raise questions as to whether the president attempted to influence or impede” the F.B.I.
Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. It was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.So the headline (that Comey testified under oath that trump never pressured the FBI to halt investigations) by smoking gun and gateway pundit is what?
Say it with me.
Fake News. Hook, line, and sinker. Gulp
and the reporter who wrote about the memo Comey himself wrote,
is guilty of what they projected. Because it's all based on fake news.
Not y'all's fault really. Fox has you trained to believe what they or a similar outlet tells you to believe.
But every prick included in the story that's not in eccie knew they were lying. And when the lie collapses, all you will remember is Comey said trump didn't interfere. Because fox has you trained to do that too. And jackie will point out Comey lied under oath because blah, blah, blah.
When everyone should know he didn't give trump a clean bill of health.
And why should you believe me in all this? You shouldn't you fucking douche-bags. Get your lazy assed and under-educated selves up and watch the video yourselves. Watch for him to say anything about trump not interfering.
Spoiler alert.
He doesn't say anything about trump.
Doesn't it piss you off that they bullshit the people on their own side? Or that jackie led you down the "It's all lies!"
path again?

SMOKING GUN=> Comey Under Oath: Trump NEVER Pressured FBI to Halt Investigations “It’s Not Happened”

Former FBI Director James Comey testified under oath May 3rd that the Trump administration had not pressured his agency to halt any investigation for political purposes.
Via GotNews:
Former FBI Director James Comey testified under Senate oath May 3rd that the Trump administration had not pressured his agency to halt any investigation for political purposes.
Comey admitted that the FBI has always been free to operate without political interference—flying in the face of Democrats’ paranoid delusions about Russia and President Donald J. Trump, and exposing for what it is a new political witch hunt Wednesday by enemies within the president’s own Justice Department.
Videotaped testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee blows apart the phony narrative New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt wove on Tuesday, which resulted in Mueller’s appointment. Schmidt’s only sources were anonymous. They claimed that on Feb. 14th, the day after National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned, Trump had asked Comey to end an investigation into Flynn’s connections to Russia.
Schmidt’s allegations that Trump attempted to obstruct justice hinged on the sources’ accounts of a memo authored the same day. Schmidt, a Democrat party lackey, admitted he hasn’t even seen the document—dated nearly three months before Comey’s testimony that totally contradicts it.
Comey’s statement to Hawaii Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono from May 3rd, which Center for Security Policy analyst Nick Short noted Wednesday, exposes the Democrats once again for their political gamesmanship.
Lying during sworn congressional testimony is committing perjury, a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison.
Sorry snowflakes .. this dog won't hunt.
Comey's memo is worthless .. unless you happen to be stranded on a deserted Island without any Charmin. then it might really be worth something!
bahhaaa
do any of you snowflakes think Comey is going to contradict his previous testimony? really????
hahahaa he'd be the dumbest lawyer who ever lived if he did that .. and no memo is gonna help his ass out.

The Department of Justice is under the auspice of the United States Attorney General, who works for the President of The United States.
Many believe that the Dept of Justice is in the Judicial Branch of Government.
