His words, what do they mean?

@"1984hasarrived"  
Quote:The dismissal of Cromey today, as much as some people think it is a good move, is unpresidented (sic - intentional), and should scare people as it is an abuse of his power (he still thinks he is on The Apprentice).  Many politicians on both sides are rattled, and quite a few are speaking out.

So did you say this in 1983 when B. Clinton fired his FBI director? Link
Quote:That FBI Director, William Sessions, was fired by President Bill Clinton in 1993. According to the Congressional Research Service, “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.”


The low number is a little misleading because one FBI director had a stranglehold on the position for decades. J. Edgar Hoover was FBI director for 48 years until 1972.

According to the FBI, there have only been 18 directors in the nation’s history, but the position has only been a presidential appointment since 1968, according to the Congressional Research Service.


“The current process dates from 1968, when the FBI Director was first established as a presidentially appointed position requiring Senate confirmation,” the service reports. “Since 1972, seven nominations for FBI Director have been confirmed, and two other nominations have been withdrawn.”

In modern times, though, FBI directors serve 10-year terms, and only Clinton – and now Trump – has chosen to fire one.

Here’s what’s sort of interesting in juxtaposition: Clinton was perceived as firing Sessions in part because he was a Republican holdover from the Reagan administration.

So, not so unusual after all.
Besides, the POTUS has the Authority, doesn't he/she?
I applaud the firing of an employee of the People that has as many Flaws and Misdeeds (as listed in above post) as Cromey has.
Once A Rogue, Always A Rogue!
