I don't believe anyone in the House or Senate Intelligence committees buy into Trump's assertion that Comey was too hard on Hillary. These committees will continue their work. Unfortunately their slow pace may mean that Trump will nearly have finished his term before impeachment proceedings can begin (if evidence suggests he colluded with the Russians).

The firing of Comey has backfired for Trump. It just heaps more suspicion on him. The sad thing is that the wheels of justice turn slow.
