Well the timing of it is sort of odd. His biggest blunders were months ago and if anything he should have been fired then not now. I do think he's demonstrated shit professionalism and incompetence. However, now Trump is just going to put a new (possibly compromised) idiot in place or at the very least pick a shit candidate while we watch the senate argue over confirming him. In general this firing is in the middle of an investigation that is finally getting some steam. This whole mess is probably going to slow it more than its already near stop pace.


...the testimony just came out. We didn't know the basis for the re-opened investigation back when he re-opened it. However, since hearing his testimony, there are some questions about his judgment. More importantly, until the new FBI director comes in -- which could take a year given obstruction -- the deputy director will be in charge so there's no real benefit to Trump anyway.

Good
The real question is who's going to replace Comey?

Jeff Sessions


Typically Deputy Directors exist to take over when Directors aren't around, so probably him.

Days before he was fired, James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, asked the Justice Department for a significant increase in money and personnel for the bureau’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the presidential election, according to three congressional officials who were briefed on his request.


And there were a lot of things that Comey was also doing at the time including, among other things, confessing how bad the basis was for his re-opened investigation of Hillary's emails. In general, at any given moment things are happening which doesn't automatically make them more significant by virtue of dismissal especially when you consider that if you did want to bury an investigation you'd do it much sooner than this.

Watergate took years for anything to be revealed and for action to happen. All along the way it was called baseless and fought by the administration. Then it actually broke.


lol, just lol.
