Firing Comey

I will start by saying this: Director Comey needed to be removed from office. That is my opinion and the opinion of many Republicans, but also of many Democrats as well. The Democrats wanted him gone and the president delivered. Schumer and Pelosi both indicated that Comey should be gone. Even ABC News admitted that "Democrats cry foul over Comey firing after previously calling for him to resign." 

The Democrats despised Comey because he investigated Hillary Clinton, even though he let her off the hook on the emails. That is a well known fact that the mainstream media is now completely ignoring. They simply cannot agree with a thing that the president has and will do. The media is bitter that their crony lost the election. And I wish I could say that the media has moved on to reporting actual news.

The president did what needed to be done by firing Comey. I will say that the White House could have handled the publicity surrounding this event by being more concise. For example: Trump said that he fired Comey based on Rod Rosenstein's  memo; then Rosenstein came out later and said that he didn't recommend firing Comey. 

I don't know how much the media is warping the story, but regardless the White House needs to make sure everyone is on the same page before addressing the public.

To wrap this up, Trump made the right decision and I don't think the timing is troubling. Comey messed up the whole Hillary Clinton investigation by saying she made a mistake without recommending charges on something she clearly did. And the Trump-Russia investigation is a waste of time, because I don't think there's actually anything to it.
