Its probably the right call though. The guy had dirt on both candidates and he was going to be investigating who ever won in hopes of staying in office longer so kicking him out while it looks bad is one of those short term pain long term benefit moves.

Comey's (single) term wouldn't have been up until 2023.

Paragraph two of Trump's dismissal letter to Comey:

    While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.

snoodawg, seriously, if that doesn't upset you, you're foolin' yourself.

I guess the only upsetting part was that he wasn't fired 100 or days ago, now it's just even more messy. He made a total boondoggle of the presidential election so I'm glad to see him go. The Russian allegations are such a joke that they should be funny were it not for the fact that so many people take them seriously.

Stupid U.S. intelligence agencies and anyone not watching solely Fox/Breitbart taking this joke seriously, those idiots
