Comey deserved to be fired on Trump's first day for his actions last July in his press meeting regarding Hillary Clinton. He should have simply turned all the FBI had found over to the Justice Department and kept his mouth shut. Since Loretta Lynch had compromised herself by meeting Bill Clinton on the Phoenix tarmac a week earlier, she should have then recused herself and let Sally Yates handle it from there. But Comey instead took over, and since Obama didn't fire him on the spot, we might assume Comey was doing what he was told to do, meaning he allowed himself to become a partisan political stooge instead of an independent and non-partisan law enforcement officer. Or he overstepped on his own, knowing the conditions would allow him to wrest that power from Justice and get away with it. Either way, he should have been fired. The real question is why he wasn't fired much sooner. All that has followed as a consequence is only political gamesmanship.
