I think he is a national hero to the MSM-Democrats, for faking the circumstances that would trigger the naming of an independent prosecutor.
That will give the Democrats the leverage they need to tip the balance of the House in their favor after the 2018 elections, which will enable them to impeach DJT.
That's their theory anyway.
Looks like that point is moot at this time. Comey got nailed and exposed his own to protect his own hide. What you suggest has practically no chance of happening at this point.
