This is clearly some kind of performance art piece in which I'm no longer participating
And who had specifically insulted him personally on a number of occasions in the past; this was raised a couple of times by people in the trump administration who didn't want Pierce to go
The historical fact that Karen Pierce had an excellent working relationship with Trump and his administration. Your inability to believe this could be true because she is a woman reflects quite badly on you.
You seem to think this is a debate, rather than me telling you a fact?

Sorry, but this is what happened! Look it up if you like
There's no saving this one it was just a bad decision and obvious at the time.

i think too that he also understands on some level that he's attracted less flak than the others in the admin because he's kept his head down and just slacked off. but when your boss is infamously paranoid and vindictive and you're director of the FBI...

Basically it's Christopher Tolkien's world now and we all have to live in it
