Trump’s FBI opponents should be given pacifiers
I have read a lot of this garbage spewing from the mouths of former FBI employees Comey and McCabe and I want to find my grandson’s pacifiers and send them each one. What a couple of whiners. They have forgotten in their positions as a political appointee (Comey) and a member of the Senior Executive Service (McCabe), they serve at the pleasure (or displeasure) of the president. Both of these guys have been inside the Beltway long enough to know this. President Trump used his constitutional authority and right to can both of these guys who used their positions to undertake political attacks on candidate Trump, and then President Trump. Both overstepped their roles as law enforcement officers and became nothing more than political hit men for the Democratic Party. As for agents Strzok and Page, they are employed by the bureau under something called “excepted service” and can be sacked for cause at any time – something that should happen, as they too abused their positions for political purposes and most likely as federal employees violated laws by doing so. Their turn in the barrel is coming.

I have read Jay Bookman’s column for many years. Occasionally, I disagree with his take, but I often find his approach insightful and well-reasoned. His column, “What if Trump really shot someone on Fifth Avenue?” (Opinion, April 25) is probably his best column ever. It’s the best political satire I’ve read by a local columnist. Bookman’s ability to create a hypothetical situation out of the president’s own words, and develop it with such on-the-mark content about how his party would protect him, is remarkable. If ever there was a 21st century version of “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” Bookman’s column was it.
