Firing Comey, Bringing Down Trump

FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY, testifying before Congress a couple weeks ago, swore that although he felt just awful about the possibility that his decisions and actions may have cost Hillary Clinton the election, nevertheless, by golly, if he had it to do all over again, he wouldn't change a thing. He was in a tough situation, he opined, damnned if he did, damned if he didn't, so, he did the best he could, period. Then, shortly thereafter, Hillary herself gave a speech in which she made no bones about it; Comey cost her the presidency by reopening a closed investigation of her just two weeks before election day. Last but not least, President Trump fires Comey, saying that Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton investigation was partially the reason, party due to the recommendation of Attorney General Sessions. So, it would seem that everybody has their own story to tell. Trump was definitely displeased with Comey's FBI investigation of Hillary, not because it was unfair to her - he loved that part - but rather, because it didn't land her in jail, nor even find any evidence of wrong doing, all the while costing her the election. Trump's real reason for firing Comey is, of course, that the FBI is on the verge of announcing that there was indeed collusion between Trump's campaign and the Russians, and Trump is desperately trying to keep that covered up. It won't work. Trump will be exposed, removed, and replaced. Also, Trump has been angry with Comey every since the Director basically accused Trump of fabricating a story about Obama wiretapping Trump Tower. God, what a psycho. Comey's departure will only cast a brighter spotlight on Trump's criminal activities, and bring him down sooner, rather than later. Not soon enough, however.
