Report: Valerie Jarrett convinces Obama to FIRE FBI Director Comey!!

A report from the Daily Mail says that Obama has been persuaded by Valerie Jarrett to fire FBI Director Comey, but to wait until after the election to do it:

According to a White House source familiar with Obama’s decision, Jarrett and the president held lengthy discussions over the past several days about the political and legal ramifications of firing the FBI director.

The president was furious with Comey for reopening the FBI’s investigation of Hillary’s emails 11 days before the election, then admitting two days before the election that he couldn’t find any cause for taking action against the Democratic nominee.

But the president was reluctant to move against Comey for fear that it would open him to charges of obstruction of justice.

However, according to the White House source, Jarrett convinced the president that it was within his power to remove the FBI director for his ill-conceived and erratic interference in the presidential election.

She also argued that there would be bipartisan support in Congress for such a move against Comey, who has alienated both Democrats and Republicans.

After the White House legal counsel agreed with Jarrett, Obama ordered his top advisers to draw up a plan for getting rid of the troublesome FBi director.

This should be taken with a grain of salt as it’s coming from Ed Klein, New York Times bestselling author of Clinton books, but I could see it happening. Although Obama is a lame duck, is there any reason to think that he wouldn’t do this simply out of pure malice? That way Hillary doesn’t have to fire him and look biased when she assumes the throne.

I guess we’ll find out soon.
