MAY 9. BY LETTER, WHILE THE MARSHAL IS THREE THOUSAND MILES AWAY, THE KING DISMISSES HIM.
James Comey will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the FBI.
Manga panel 2 of 5, Week 100 “The Letter”: The opposition weeps stage tears on the capitol steps for the marshal they spent a year condemning, and Donarudo calls the performance.
“Dems have been complaining for months & months about Dir. Comey. Now that he has been fired they PRETEND to be aggrieved. Phony hypocrites!”
Manga panel 3 of 5, Week 100 “The Letter”: The morning after the firing Donarudo laughs in the gilded office with the northern kingdom's envoys, a single flash freezing the scene.
Russia must be laughing up their sleeves watching as the U.S. tears itself apart…

“James Comey better hope that there are no ""tapes"" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”

This week in the saga

Week one hundred, and the chapter detonates its own premise: the reign that began this arc accusing the old king of tapping wires ends it by firing the marshal who said there were none. The letter arrives while its subject is a continent away; the envoys of the northern kingdom laugh in the gilded office the very next morning; and the warning about tapes — one sentence, typed in the dark — is the spark that summons the special counsel. The figure under the streetlamp closes the chapter without showing his face. He will not need an introduction.
