If you believe that there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion. Trump fired Comey because he was closing in on him.
Freaking Occam's Razor.

That is open to interpretation.
It could mean that he wanted Comey to refer Hillary to a grand jury, and because he didn't, he viewed that as "mishandling it"
They are a twisted bunch for sure

(34,051 posts)i vaguely recall seeing trump (after election) basically laughing and telling his roaring crowed that he wasn't going to go after hillary or put her in jail--and they looked a bit surprised to hear that--so with that in mind, i don't think he really gives a shit about "mishandled" email crap
i'm still on the side where things were getting a little too hot under the collar for trump and that was why comey had to go.
they definitely are a twisted bunch

(28,979 posts)I heard the Trumpies try to argue that it was Democrats fault, even Obama's fault Comey got fired. They were just doing what we called for.
They twist everything.
