the fact that he managed to piss off both sides show that he was doing his job correctly and wasn't a slave to either party.
He pissed off both sides because he was mishandling investigations.
trump was praising comey 2 weeks before the election for his great work with the clinton e-mail investigation. now that is the trump excuse for firing him so that he can appoint someone to bury this current investigation.
While Trump was praising Comey about Clinton, Dems wanted him fired. Now Trump fires Comey about Russia and Dems are mad.
See what this looks like?
it looks like he was doing his job and not a slave to either side....my original point
Just because he wasn't a slave to either side doesn't mean he was doing a good job.
if he was doing such a poor job with the russia investigation...why would trump need to fire him? he was safe from the bungling investigation. let it run it's course and fire comey when it doesn't look like he is trying to cover sh#t up. if comey was doing a good job and trump was afraid of the results i would expect exactly what happened.
