...didn't Trump say that Comey had a lot of guts for doing what he did about the Clinton email investigation during the campaign?
...now, by firing Comey, Trump appears to support Clinton's argument that Comey screwed up and affected her chances of winning the Presidency...thanks President Trump, for actually trying to be bi-partisan and doing something some Dems demanded that you do when you were first elected...
...but why appoint as interim the dude who actually led the FBI's investigation of Clinton's emails? and doesn't this move put a taint on how you achieved the victory?
...of course, this has nothing to do with Comey's very public leadership of, and statements about, the FBI's investigation into whether there is a connection between people in Trump's campaign and Russian interference in the presidential election...right? With the DOJ already in Trump's pocket, and by appointing a loyalist to head the FBI, he can bag the FBI's Russian influence investigation, and contain the two investigatory agencies that discover evidence and provide it to the congressional committees...this kinda confirms there is a "there" there, but now we may never know, one way or the other...
...as our politics drift more to the Russian and banana republic style, many Americans are satisfied...
