He thanked the man for not investigating him while firing him for investigating something he was convinced was worth jailing Hillary over. And his opinion changed in the last week about his usefulness. If Trump is going to fire everyone who is incompetent, he’s got a lot of work to do.
Trump is not an old bureaucrat and he just put the rest of the Government on notice of it. There was a very large bipartisan support for Comey’s dismissal for a good while now. I also don’t believe, whatever the facts are, that we are getting the entire picture at present.
