Former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired Tuesday by President Donald Trump sent a letter to selected FBI staff, friends and agents.
Below is the text of that letter;
I
have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any
reason, or for no reason at all. I'm not going to spend time on the
decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won't either. It is
done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission
deeply. I have said to you before that, in times of turbulence, the
American people should see the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and
independence.
What
makes leaving the FBI hard is the nature and quality of its people, who
together make it that rock for America. It is very hard to leave a
group of people who are committed only to doing the right thing.
My
hope is that you will continue to live our values and the mission of
protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution. If you do
that, you too will be sad when you leave, and the American people will
be safer. Working with you has been one of the great joys of my life.
Thank you for that gift.
