Its almost as if they were waiting for a reason, ANY reason, no matter how small to let him go.
I think. Comey was too good at his job and THAT'S why he was fired. He was getting too close to Russiagate
There's nothing baffeling about it. Comey was due to testify during the Senate hearings in two days. Sally Yates testified yesterday and was repeatedly asked about the Russian investigation, which she refused to answer citing classified information that could best be answered by James Comey and other intelligence sources and Comey was suddenly, without warning fired today.
About 1-1/2 months ago Comey testified and this was his statement without mentioning any names: He stated: "It's like they didn't even care if they got caught." That can only mean one thing--They've been caught--and now they know it and are trying to bury it.
But it didn't work for Richard Nixon--and it's certainly not going to work now. This administration is clearly in full blown panic mode.
