Despite the fact that everyone in Washington has at one point or another called for former FBI Director James Comey’s firing, President Trump’s termination of Comey Tuesday sent the nation spiraling into a full-fledged constitutional crisis.
Word is that Comey’s firing was so sudden, he found out about it the same way Barack Obama found out about every crisis that plagued his administration; on the news.
!!! Comey thought it was a prank and laughed when news of his firing flashed on the TV https://t.co/QPtJkpPx3P pic.twitter.com/vc7tSfn8vw

Comey's termination was read to him over the phone while he was on bureau travel in L.A., FBI sources tell @ABC. https://t.co/NAj4ZeCC8W pic.twitter.com/wFH0Odquuz

Comey was to have appeared at an FBI recruitment event in Los Angeles meant to encourage women and minorities to pursue careers with the agency. It’s too bad he had to leave; it looks like the FBI is looking to hire ASAP.
Fired FBI Director James Comey is no longer speaking in California tonight, FBI in LA says, but returning to Washington instead.

It was inevitable, what with Comey being in L.A., but really? A news helicopter was dispatched to keep track of his movements?

Are they covering his car on air live? Good Lord.

It's L.A. — they have helicopters flying around waiting for something to chase. It's what they do.

Say what you will about local news in LA, but if there is a reason to follow a car with a helicopter they will always do it.

There is literally no way James Comey could fit in a Mini Cooper without folding in three places where humans don't have joints.

Even over the cacophony of the chopper, you can distinctly hear Papa Roach's 'Last Resort' playing from below.

I kind of feel sorry for the guy right now. Literally being stalked by a chopper on the highway.
