84. Imo, SHOOTING would be more appropriate.

Comey committed career suicide by multiple misuses of power to subvert our election in full view of the world. Oh sure, he must have hoped a Republican administration would circle around to protect him, but he must have known that was not guaranteed.

So, WHY did he do it?
