Most of the web traffic seems to be about how Comey should resign or be fired by Trump. Most of them seem to recognize that if any wiretapping had taken place, it was through a court process (many seem to mention FISA courts), but don't to understand that this makes it completely legal and aligns with the national security system that exists (the merits and drawbacks of which these people are entirely unequipped to understand). It is somehow scandalous for a law enforcement organization to seek a warrant from a Court, apparently. They do not get it, and think that because Trump has expressed outrage at the FBI, the FBI must have been doing something wrong.

The meteor can hit any time now.
