There are many many parts of the “comey firing”

Yes, part of it has been mishandled. So I will disagree with you. There should have been a clear message as to why he was fired.On point. Not a conflicting mish mash that ends up with POTUS saying on National TV it was because Comey was investigating his and his staff Russian connections

Spicer is not at fault here. But he will be lucky to survive it.

There was never any need to give a reason for Comey's firing. In that sense, the only mistake was sending people in the administration out to give a reason for his termination when there was only one reason that mattered:

"I fired him because I want someone more responsible/competent in the position."

That's it. If anyone wants to know what made Comey irresponsible/incompetent, then the Sessions and Rosenstein letters were all you'd need ... and anyone can read them.
