| A First-Time Homebuyer's Guide to Los Angeles Posted: 10 May 2017 01:12 PM PDT ![A First-Time Homebuyer's Guide to Los Angeles]( "A First-Time Homebuyer's Guide to Los Angeles") You're ready to dive into the realm of homeownership -- and in Los Angeles, you're certainly not alone.

| Timing of FBI Director James Comey’s firing raises the question: Why now? Posted: 10 May 2017 12:04 PM PDT  The decision to fire FBI director James Comey was made by the White House and senior Justice Department officials based on actions by Comey that had been publicly known for months — and without waiting for the conclusion of a Justice Department inspector general review of his conduct that was far from complete, a department official confirms to Yahoo News. "Our review is ongoing," said John Lavinsky, a spokesman for inspector general Michael Horowitz, adding that the review announced by Horowitz in January is expected to take up to a year to complete. The disclosure that the inspector general's review is ongoing, and far from finished, raises further questions about why Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein chose to recommend Comey's firing now, before any official findings by department investigators.

| James Corden mocks Trump's James Comey decision in comical rant Posted: 10 May 2017 10:06 AM PDT  Last night on the Late Late Show, James Corden weighed in on Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.
