It was only that President Trump was steadily growing ever more exasperated, and once he had a good solid opinion from his Deputy Attorney General, the man DIRECTLY in charge of the FBI, that he acted to relieve Director Comey of his duties.
The previous Deputy Attorney General, Sally Yates, was an Obama holdover and not politically reliable. Sally Yates would not have made such a finding or recommendation.
It is remarkable that James Comey found out about being fired by the TV announcement. He was in such disbelief at first, he thought it was some elaborate prank.
No prank, Jim.

When you dig deeper, you’ll find that this is not remarkable. This was the standard process in BO’Bs finding out what might have happened while he sat in WH office, feet up on our desk. This, all knew, was a lie in the first degree. How many times has this been used? Too many to count.
