"To the career men and women at DOJ/FBI: you know what the job entails and how to do it. Be strong and unafraid. Duty. Honor. Country." These were the words from former AG Eric Holderafter Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey with a letter that read in part, "While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau." The move was so abrupt and appears to be not very well planned. As of 8:55A this morning, Comey is still listed on the website as the FBI Director.
