Comey is in until 2023 unless there are proven allegations and he can then be removed. Here is brief explanation: The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The statutory basis for the present nomination and confirmation process was developed in 1968 and 1976, and has been used since the death of J. Edgar Hoover in 1972. Over this time, seven nominations have been confirmed and two have been withdrawn by the President before confirmation. The position of FBI Director has a fixed 10-year term, and the officeholder cannot be reappointed, unless Congress acts to allow a second appointment of the incumbent. There are no statutory conditions on the President’s authority to remove the FBI Director. Since 1972, one Director has been removed by the President. 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. On June 21, 2013, President Obama nominated James B. Comey Jr., a former Deputy Attorney General, to succeed Mueller. Comey was confirmed by the Senate on July 29, 2013, and he took office on September 4, 2013. This report provides an overview of the development of the process for appointing the FBI Director, briefly discusses the history of nomina

Trump kept Comey for what reason? The same Comey who said nothing to see here on anything, zero charges, case closed. Trump thought he should keep him? Trump does not look very good to me. My patience is wearing thin because not a single meaningful arrest has been made on the PG scandal. Not even search warrants issued. Like they don't have enough evidence for suspicion, and search and seizure of computers of suspects. Looks more and more like nothing will come of this.

Trey Gowdy DESTROYS Lying POS Comey on INTENT

Comey has been pals with Clintons for decades. He is not going to do anything to hurt them, in my opinion.

Vanity Fair is TRASH. In this case, the first few paragraphs set the tabloid tone:

FBI agents in the New York field office were rumored [get THAT shit excuse that sustains VF's existence right out there first] to have joked [dead serious, far more likely] about seeing former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in handcuffs [charged with crimes and fairly prosecuted, far more likely], Vanity Fair reports [VF never reports. They specialize in perpetuating rumors, creating false narratives, and inciting unrest, with no reservations about inciting violence. Good example, the timing of the Mexican REPEAT VF COVER, with Melania Trump pictured as "literally eating jewels"].

A former Department of Justice official told Vanity Fair a segment of the New York field office had a high a level of animosity [strong emotion-based hostility] towards Clinton. “It was widely understood that there was a faction [implies extreme division in the ranks of the FBI, without explanation] in that office that couldn’t stand her and was out to get her [clearly implies witch hunt ],”* he continued to Bethany McLean.*

McLean elaborated that the level of acrimony [another citing of emotion - this time bitterness and finger-pointing] towards Clinton in the New York field office may have been so high, FBI Director James Comey placed the bulk of the Clinton investigation in Washington, D.C.

The anecdote [the word anecdote can be defined as "an account regarded as unreliable or heresay"] fits with widespread reports of internal FBI dissatisfaction with the July 2016 decision not to prosecute Clinton for illegally using a private email server to conduct official State Department business.

All media that used to be artsy and stylish are now just contributing to the politicization of all things. And THEY SUCK at that job. Transparent as all Hell. Another big FU to VF from me. I hope I live to see their bankruptcy.

If Comey goes, the Clinton plant Mccabe might step into his position. The same Mccabe who received 650k from the CF affiliate while he was investigating the CF.

I don't trust Comey anymore.

Theres a video on youtube of Gowdy VS Comey and Gowdy lays out ALL the evidence incriminating Hillary and asks Comey point blank how this isn't enough for a prosecution. Gowdy even goes as far as saying "This isn't the FBI I knew" basically saying they are corrupt

I agree, I had hoped that Comey was a good guy, but now he has to go

So they were joking in the hopes of seeing Hillary in cuffs. The title could go either way. Can anyone elaborate why comey is still the head of the fbi? Why is trump allowing this?
