I think that he is an ethical person that knew the reality of the world. Do you think that a new FBI director is now going after HRC for her crimes? Just not going to happen.

Comey's actions were inconsistent, suggesting to me he was not merely a marionette, but was tugged by at least two puppet masters.

He overstepped and politicized his office.

Going back further, he was the federal prosecutor who went overboard on Martha Stewart and would have gone much farther had he not been reined in.

If I were to find myself the target of an FBI investigation I would not want investigators with an eye to politics or the optics of my prosecution.

I know Comey had a sterling reputation. From his public statements, I distrust him. And then there was that meeting between AG Lynch and Bill Clinton. I don't know if that compromised the investigation into Hillary, but it looked like Comey's investigation was bartered by political insiders.

I'm glad he's gone. I suspect he'll go back to sitting on bank boards of directors and such. He's not going to miss a paycheck.

He's fired. Sacked, given the boot, the bum's rush out the door, he is now unemployed. Happy, happy, happy.

A CNN commentator says this may not be a firing, though. It could be a coup.

I shake in my boots.

Edited to add:

And now a talking head on CNN is saying this is unprecedented, not seen since Nixon fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox back in the 70's.

What an idiot.
