What can lead to the unexpected dismissal of the US President of the FBI. Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump unexpectedly dismissed the head of the FBI, James Komi. Trump explained the dismissal of Komi by his inability to "effectively manage". The head of the FBI was fired several days after he testified in the Senate about the progress of the investigation into possible interference by Russia in the presidential elections in the United States and Russia's ties with the election headquarters of Donald Trump. After the dismissal of the Komi in the United States, they began talking about the impeachment of Tram and comparisons with Watergate. Why did you fire him? The dismissal of the FBI director occurred on the recommendation of the US Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Previously, the Congressional Session in Congress heard accusations of secret contacts with Russia's ambassador to the US Sergei Kislyak, but he denied everything. "Although I am very grateful to you for informing me three times that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless agree with the judgment of the Ministry of Justice that you are not able to effectively manage the Bureau, - said the President of the United States. "We urgently need to find a new leadership for the FBI that will revive the public's confidence in its vital law enforcement mission," he added.. Trump promised that dismissing the Komi "will be a new beginning" for the FBI. The White House immediately began a search for a new director of the special services. Who is Komi James Komi was appointed head of the FBI in June 2013 by US President Barack Obama. During the presidential election campaign, he accused US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton of using a personal computer server for official correspondence in office by the US Secretary of State. Subsequently, Clinton reproached the Komi for accusations that one of the reasons for its defeat in the elections. Later, Komi led an investigation into Russia's interference in presidential elections and possible ties between Trump and Russia. "Russia is the greatest threat to any nation on Earth, given its intentions and capabilities," said the former FBI head. And here is Russia? In the US, fear that the dismissal of the Komi will lead to a halt in the investigation of the case of Russia's interference in the American elections. After the dismissal of James Komi, two former FBI officers with extensive connections, told The Daily Beast that counterintelligence agents working in the Russian department, which is located at the FBI headquarters in downtown Washington, met to drink, a few hours after their resignation Boss and shared their fears that they will be transferred to another unit and work on the Russian problem will no longer be a priority. In the days following the resignation of the Komi throughout the bureau, these fears spread that the new administration will find ways to corner the investigations that can create political problems - especially the Russian cause. "And actually when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said:" You know, this Russian thing with Trump and Russia is a fictional story, which the Democrats justify that they lost the elections that were supposed to win, "explained Trump, how the decision was made to dismiss Komi. "Among the current and former counterintelligence agents specializing in Russia, there are perceptible fears of political interference," reads The Daily Beast. Although, Andrew McCabe, interim director of the bureau, has already told members of the Senate Intelligence Commission that nothing will stop this investigation. New Watergate? After the dismissal of the director of the FBI James Komi, the bookkeeping offices note an increase in the number of rates for the early withdrawal of Donald Trump from the post of the US president, the Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger. Donald Trump became the first head of state since Richard Nixon, who removed a senior official from his post, who led the investigation related to the White House. The Democratic Party demands the appointment of a special prosecutor who would continue to investigate possible links between Trump's election team and Russia and possible collusion over manipulation in the presidential election. Republicans and Speaker of the US House of Representatives Paul Ryan rejected this claim. In 1973, Nixon dismissed prosecutor Archibald Cox, who refused to stop the investigation of the Watergate scandal, in which the Nixon administration was suspected of listening to political opponents. This move by Nixon provoked a powerful reaction against the president, there began talks about possible impeachment or resignation. Impeachment procedure In the history of the United States, there was no impeachment. But Bill Clinton was close to him in 1998 because of a sex scandal and perjury before the oath. Clinton then acquitted the Senate. And Richard Nixon, in the background of the Watergate scandal in 1974, resigned before the impeachment procedure began. Impeachment is initiated by a deputy of the House of Representatives (lower chamber of the Congress Parliament). The relevant application is submitted for study to the legal committee of the House of Representatives, which formulates "articles of impeachment". Then the House of Representatives in the plenary session examines "articles of impeachment". Head of the US Supreme Court presides over Senate hearings on impeachment of the president. Then there should be a vote in the House of Representatives. If the "impeachment article" is adopted by a simple majority of the total membership of the Chamber, that is, with the support of 226 deputies, it is sent to the Senate (upper chamber of Congress), the Senate votes for the conviction. To impeach the president, 2/3 deputies of the Senate must vote.
