The most recent was \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1003\">held in the Assembly Health Committee last month for study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many cases, said Saslow, members simply abstained from weighing in on soda tax proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we took a look at the voting patterns and a bill that died in the Assembly Health Committee in 2015, we found that three Latino Caucus members abstained from voting, and those members received an average $16,000 from the soda industry, and were among the top recipients of soda industry money,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saslow said the trend extended to the entire health committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis found that the industry funneled 2.3 times as much money to members of the committee that voted against or abstained from voting on the proposed tax as to those who voted for the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, Latino Caucus members were given $5,198 by the soda industry, but the top recipients were given between $14,000 and nearly $19,000 last election cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, the industry gave about $332,000 to lawmakers last campaign cycle, a tiny proportion of overall campaign contributions. For example, the top recipient of soda money, Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, received $18,925.82 from the soda industry but $1.2 million in overall campaign contributions. A spokesman for Santiago declined to comment on the MapLight analysis.

The most recent was \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1003\">held in the Assembly Health Committee last month for study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many cases, said Saslow, members simply abstained from weighing in on soda tax proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we took a look at the voting patterns and a bill that died in the Assembly Health Committee in 2015, we found that three Latino Caucus members abstained from voting, and those members received an average $16,000 from the soda industry, and were among the top recipients of soda industry money,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saslow said the trend extended to the entire health committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis found that the industry funneled 2.3 times as much money to members of the committee that voted against or abstained from voting on the proposed tax as to those who voted for the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, Latino Caucus members were given $5,198 by the soda industry, but the top recipients were given between $14,000 and nearly $19,000 last election cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, the industry gave about $332,000 to lawmakers last campaign cycle, a tiny proportion of overall campaign contributions. For example, the top recipient of soda money, Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, received $18,925.82 from the soda industry but $1.2 million in overall campaign contributions. A spokesman for Santiago declined to comment on the MapLight analysis. The American Beverage Association did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saslow said the findings are still striking, even if other industries are bigger players in Sacramento.

It was last used for a bail bond company. (The Berkeley jail is about two blocks away). That smaller building was moved to an adjoining lot on Saturday to allow the duplex to be set in the back. It will be moved back to its original spot at the front of the lot on Monday, said Belser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Belser and White plan to fix up both buildings. The duplex will be affordable, meaning it will rent for 50 percent of the AMI. The apartments will be rent-controlled. The smaller building is grandfathered in for a commercial use, said Belser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh49ggoOgLQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phil Joy of Phil Joy Housemoving and Leveling oversaw the move and it was delicately done. The house was put on a trailer hitched to a big truck. The house was remarkably agile: When it got too close to trees, the driver adjusted the house’s position. When a car was unexpectedly parked on University Avenue (despite dozens of “no parking” signs that had been up for days), the truck was able to pull the house closer to the center of the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting the house on to its final resting place was more difficult. The soil on the lot was soft, so Joy’s workers had to lay metal planks of the ground to prevent the wheels of the trailer from sinking into the ground. And the truck pulling the house had little room to maneuver and it appeared difficult at times to keep the house on the right track. But it was finally set down, more than three hours after it left its old home on Berkeley Way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11450600\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11450600\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835.jpeg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835-1180x885.jpeg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835-960x720.jpeg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835-240x180.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835-375x281.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_8835-520x390.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dmitri Belser (r) with his partner Tom White (c) and their son Sebastian Belser as the house makes its way through Berkeley. \u003ccite>(Frances Dinkelspiel/Berkelyside)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Belser said moving the house was “insanity,” but it is clear he and White are hooked on the experience.

Very simply. He was not doing a good job,\" Trump said in brief remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, where he was joined by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The abrupt firing of Comey threw into question the future of the FBI's investigation and immediately raised suspicions of an underhanded effort to stymie a probe that has shadowed the administration from the outset. Trump has ridiculed the investigations as \"a hoax\" and denied any campaign involvement with the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats compared Comey's ouster to President Richard Nixon's \"Saturday Night Massacre\" during the Watergate investigation and renewed calls for the appointment of a special prosecutor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, Kissinger, who was meeting with Trump, was Nixon's secretary of state in 1973, having just moved over from being Nixon's national security adviser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier Wednesday, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rosenstein, to appear before the Senate to answer questions about the circumstances surrounding Trump's action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell brushed aside calls for a special prosecutor, saying a new investigation into Russian meddling would only \"impede the current work being done.\" He noted that Democrats had repeatedly criticized Comey in the past and some had called for his removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump made a similar case on Twitter, saying Comey had \"lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington,\" adding: \"When things calm down, they will be thanking me!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Mike Pence said at the Capitol that Trump had made \"the right decision at the right time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department said Sessions was interviewing candidates to serve as an interim replacement. Comey's deputy, FBI veteran Andrew McCabe, became acting director after Comey was fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his brief letter Tuesday to Comey, Trump said the firing was necessary to restore \"public trust and confidence\" in the FBI. The administration paired the letter with a scathing review by Rosenstein, the recently confirmed deputy attorney general, of how Comey handled the investigation into Clinton's email practices, including his decision to hold a news conference announcing its findings and releasing \"derogatory information\" about Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't make this stuff up,\" Rep. Adam Schiff of California, top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said Wednesday on MSNBC. As to Trump's contention that the firing had to do with Comey's decision-making on such matters as the Clinton emails, he said, \"Nobody believes that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, in his letter, pointedly thanked Comey for telling him three times \"that I am not under investigation.\" The FBI has not confirmed that Comey ever made those assurances to the president. In public hearings, Comey has declined to answer when asked if Trump is under investigation, urging lawmakers not to read anything into that statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Comey has drawn anger from Democrats since he reopened the email investigation in the closing days of last year's campaign, they didn't buy that justification for his firing. Several Republicans joined them in raising alarms of how it could affect probes into possible coordination between Trump associates and Russia to influence the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the strongest statements by Republicans, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, said, \"I am troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey's termination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His dismissal further confuses an already difficult investigation by the committee,\" Burr said.[contextly_sidebar id=\"tdRpwtjmhWeRM6H7jHyrLgu4duKaXiTl\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer told Trump in a phone call he thought dumping Comey was a mistake. On Wednesday, Trump labeled the Senate minority leader \"Cryin' Chuck Schumer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump will now appoint a successor at the FBI, which has been investigating since late July, and who will almost certainly have an impact on how the probe moves forward and whether the public will accept its outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was only the second firing of an FBI director in history. President Bill Clinton dismissed William Sessions amid allegations of ethical lapses in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said Congress must form a special committee to investigate Russia's interference in the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey, 56, was nominated by President Barack Obama for the FBI post in 2013 to a 10-year term, though that appointment does not ensure a director will serve the full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Praised frequently by both parties for his independence and integrity, he spent three decades in law enforcement. Before the past months' controversies, the former deputy attorney general in the George W. Bush administration was perhaps best known for a remarkable 2004 standoff with top officials over a federal domestic surveillance program. In March of that year, Comey rushed to the hospital bed of Attorney General John Ashcroft to physically stop White House officials in their bid to get his ailing boss to reauthorize a secret no-warrant wiretapping program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his prominent role in the 2016 presidential campaign raised questions about his judgment and impartiality. Though the FBI did not recommend charges against Clinton for mishandling classified information, Comey was blisteringly critical of her decision to use a personal email account and private internet server during her four years as secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey strongly defended his decisions during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week. He said he was \"mildly nauseous\" at the thought of having swayed the election, but also said he would do the same again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton has partially blamed her loss on Comey's disclosure to Congress less than two weeks before Election Day that the email investigation would be revisited. Comey later said the FBI, again, had found no reason to bring any charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AP writers Darlene Superville, Ken Thomas, Vivian Salama, Catherine Lucey and Sadie Gurman in Washington and Michael Balsamo in Los Angeles contributed to this report.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Very simply. He was not doing a good job,\" Trump said in brief remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, where he was joined by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The abrupt firing of Comey threw into question the future of the FBI's investigation and immediately raised suspicions of an underhanded effort to stymie a probe that has shadowed the administration from the outset. Trump has ridiculed the investigations as \"a hoax\" and denied any campaign involvement with the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats compared Comey's ouster to President Richard Nixon's \"Saturday Night Massacre\" during the Watergate investigation and renewed calls for the appointment of a special prosecutor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, Kissinger, who was meeting with Trump, was Nixon's secretary of state in 1973, having just moved over from being Nixon's national security adviser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier Wednesday, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rosenstein, to appear before the Senate to answer questions about the circumstances surrounding Trump's action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell brushed aside calls for a special prosecutor, saying a new investigation into Russian meddling would only \"impede the current work being done.\" He noted that Democrats had repeatedly criticized Comey in the past and some had called for his removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump made a similar case on Twitter, saying Comey had \"lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington,\" adding: \"When things calm down, they will be thanking me!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Mike Pence said at the Capitol that Trump had made \"the right decision at the right time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department said Sessions was interviewing candidates to serve as an interim replacement. Comey's deputy, FBI veteran Andrew McCabe, became acting director after Comey was fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his brief letter Tuesday to Comey, Trump said the firing was necessary to restore \"public trust and confidence\" in the FBI. The administration paired the letter with a scathing review by Rosenstein, the recently confirmed deputy attorney general, of how Comey handled the investigation into Clinton's email practices, including his decision to hold a news conference announcing its findings and releasing \"derogatory information\" about Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't make this stuff up,\" Rep. Adam Schiff of California, top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said Wednesday on MSNBC. As to Trump's contention that the firing had to do with Comey's decision-making on such matters as the Clinton emails, he said, \"Nobody believes that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, in his letter, pointedly thanked Comey for telling him three times \"that I am not under investigation.\" The FBI has not confirmed that Comey ever made those assurances to the president. In public hearings, Comey has declined to answer when asked if Trump is under investigation, urging lawmakers not to read anything into that statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Comey has drawn anger from Democrats since he reopened the email investigation in the closing days of last year's campaign, they didn't buy that justification for his firing. Several Republicans joined them in raising alarms of how it could affect probes into possible coordination between Trump associates and Russia to influence the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the strongest statements by Republicans, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, said, \"I am troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey's termination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His dismissal further confuses an already difficult investigation by the committee,\" Burr said.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer told Trump in a phone call he thought dumping Comey was a mistake. On Wednesday, Trump labeled the Senate minority leader \"Cryin' Chuck Schumer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump will now appoint a successor at the FBI, which has been investigating since late July, and who will almost certainly have an impact on how the probe moves forward and whether the public will accept its outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was only the second firing of an FBI director in history. President Bill Clinton dismissed William Sessions amid allegations of ethical lapses in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said Congress must form a special committee to investigate Russia's interference in the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey, 56, was nominated by President Barack Obama for the FBI post in 2013 to a 10-year term, though that appointment does not ensure a director will serve the full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Praised frequently by both parties for his independence and integrity, he spent three decades in law enforcement. Before the past months' controversies, the former deputy attorney general in the George W. Bush administration was perhaps best known for a remarkable 2004 standoff with top officials over a federal domestic surveillance program. In March of that year, Comey rushed to the hospital bed of Attorney General John Ashcroft to physically stop White House officials in their bid to get his ailing boss to reauthorize a secret no-warrant wiretapping program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his prominent role in the 2016 presidential campaign raised questions about his judgment and impartiality. Though the FBI did not recommend charges against Clinton for mishandling classified information, Comey was blisteringly critical of her decision to use a personal email account and private internet server during her four years as secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey strongly defended his decisions during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week. He said he was \"mildly nauseous\" at the thought of having swayed the election, but also said he would do the same again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton has partially blamed her loss on Comey's disclosure to Congress less than two weeks before Election Day that the email investigation would be revisited. Comey later said the FBI, again, had found no reason to bring any charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The discovery of those emails while Weiner was being investigated for possible lewd contact with a minor online is what triggered the re-opening of the Clinton investigation just before Election Day. However, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/comeys-testimony-on-huma-abedin-forwarding-emails-was-inaccurate\">ProPublica\u003c/a> reported Comey's testimony had been inaccurate, and that there had only been a \"small number\" of emails forwarded, Comey had to clarify those comments in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2017-05-09%20FBI%20to%20CEG%20-%20Comey%20Testimony%20Supplement.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> to the Senate Judiciary Committee released Tuesday nearly the same time news of his firing began to break in the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/20/520765159/watch-live-house-hearing-on-russian-attempts-to-interfere-in-u-s-election\">confirmed\u003c/a> earlier this year that the FBI was investigating possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian attempts to influence the U.S. presidential election. The president has repeatedly downplayed any investigation, dismissing it as a \"total hoax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Comey relieving him of his duties effective immediately, Trump alluded to the ongoing Russia investigation but also stressed that he had not personally been implicated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"While I greatly appreciate you informing me. on three separate occasions. that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But the ongoing Russia investigation badly complicates Trump's decision to fire Comey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions, who recommended Comey's dismissal, had already \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/02/518198749/attorney-general-sessions-to-recuse-himself-from-any-trump-campaign-investigatio\">recused himself\u003c/a> from any investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, leaving any inquiry to be led by Rosenstein. The decision by Sessions, who was a top Trump surrogate, came in March after he first testified he had no contact with Russian officials during the campaign but then later clarified that he did twice meet with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given that the Attorney General supposedly recused himself from the Russia investigation, he should not have played any role in removing the lead investigator from his duties,\" Sen.

But they didn't fire him then. Why did it happen today?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein does not appoint an independent special prosecutor, every American will rightly suspect that the decision to fire Director Comey was part of a cover-up,\" Schumer continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>FBI Director became a flashpoint in 2016 election\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Comey first made waves in July 2016 when he announced that the FBI was \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/07/05/484785586/fbi-recommends-no-charges-for-hillary-clinton-in-email-server-case\">not recommending any charges\u003c/a> against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over her handling of her controversial private server while she was secretary of state during the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even though there would be no prosecution, Comey's press conference in and of itself was damning, as he declared that Clinton and her staff had been \"extremely careless\" in handling classified data — fodder that Trump and Republicans would use throughout the campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rosenstein, Trump's deputy attorney general, said in his memorandum to Attorney General Jeff Sessions that those actions were in part what motivated his dismissal:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"The Director was wrong to usurp the Attorney General's authority on July 5, 2016, and announce his conclusion that the case should be closed without prosecution. It is not the function of the Director to make such an announcement. At most, the Director should have said the FBI had completed its investigation and presented its findings to federal prosecutors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On Twitter last week, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/859601184285491201\">claimed\u003c/a> that Comey \"was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey again found himself at the center of a political firestorm when less than two weeks before Election Day last year he notified Congress he was re-opening the investigation into Clinton's emails. Clinton \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/02/526586505/clinton-blames-2016-loss-on-comey-letter-russian-interference-and-herself\">said last week\u003c/a> she believed that controversial decision contributed to her loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the campaign, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/332641-flashback-trump-praised-comey-in-october\">said\u003c/a> that Comey's decision to re-open the Clinton investigation \"took a lot of guts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes me mildly nauseous to think that we might have had some impact on the election,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526720922/fbi-director-comey-testifies-before-senate-judiciary-committee\">Comey testified\u003c/a> before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week in defending his decision. \"But honestly, it wouldn't change the decision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that same testimony, Comey said that Clinton aide Huma Abedin had forwarded \"hundreds and thousands\" of Clinton's emails, \"some of which contained classified information\" to her then-husband, former Rep. Anthony Weiner, to print out. The discovery of those emails while Weiner was being investigated for possible lewd contact with a minor online is what triggered the re-opening of the Clinton investigation just before Election Day. However, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/comeys-testimony-on-huma-abedin-forwarding-emails-was-inaccurate\">ProPublica\u003c/a> reported Comey's testimony had been inaccurate, and that there had only been a \"small number\" of emails forwarded, Comey had to clarify those comments in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2017-05-09%20FBI%20to%20CEG%20-%20Comey%20Testimony%20Supplement.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> to the Senate Judiciary Committee released Tuesday nearly the same time news of his firing began to break in the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/20/520765159/watch-live-house-hearing-on-russian-attempts-to-interfere-in-u-s-election\">confirmed\u003c/a> earlier this year that the FBI was investigating possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian attempts to influence the U.S. presidential election. The president has repeatedly downplayed any investigation, dismissing it as a \"total hoax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Comey relieving him of his duties effective immediately, Trump alluded to the ongoing Russia investigation but also stressed that he had not personally been implicated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"While I greatly appreciate you informing me. on three separate occasions. that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But the ongoing Russia investigation badly complicates Trump's decision to fire Comey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions, who recommended Comey's dismissal, had already \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/02/518198749/attorney-general-sessions-to-recuse-himself-from-any-trump-campaign-investigatio\">recused himself\u003c/a> from any investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, leaving any inquiry to be led by Rosenstein. The decision by Sessions, who was a top Trump surrogate, came in March after he first testified he had no contact with Russian officials during the campaign but then later clarified that he did twice meet with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given that the Attorney General supposedly recused himself from the Russia investigation, he should not have played any role in removing the lead investigator from his duties,\" Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., a senior Judiciary Committee member, said in a statement. \"Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein now has no choice but to appoint a Special Counsel. His integrity, and the integrity of the entire Justice Department, are at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Republicans raise concerns over firing \u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It wasn't just Democrats who were questioning the rapid turn of events. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr said in a statement that he was \"troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey's termination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Director Comey has been more forthcoming with information than any FBI Director I can recall in my tenure on the congressional intelligence committees,\" the North Carolina Republican said. \"His dismissal, I believe, is a loss for the Bureau and the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., who's been critical of Trump in the past, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/862089192603607041\">tweeted\u003c/a> that he and his staff were \"reviewing legislation to establish an independent commission on Russia,\" calling Trump's comments in his letter to Comey underscoring that he himself wasn't under investigation \"bizarre.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey was just four years into a ten-year term after being nominated by President Obama in 2013. His pick drew bipartisan praise and he was \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/314179-senate-votes-93-1-to-confirm-obamas-nominee-to-lead-the-fbi\">confirmed\u003c/a> by the Senate overwhelmingly by a vote of 93-1. A former Republican, Comey served as the deputy attorney general for nearly two years under President George W. Bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey has repeatedly reiterated he planned to remain at the FBI, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/08/519235979/youre-stuck-with-me-fbi-director-says-citing-no-plans-to-leave-job\">saying in March\u003c/a>, \"You're stuck with me for about 6 1/2 years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump does have the authority to fire the FBI director, even without a reason, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsweek.com/can-president-fire-fbi-director-trump-comey-594716\">Newsweek\u003c/a> noted just last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
