FBI agents angered at FBI director's lenient handling of email probe!
The surprise firing of James Comey was triggered by the ousted FBI director's recent comments on why he chose not to seek the prosecution of Hillary Clinton for using an unsecure email server, according to White House and Trump administration officials.
President Trump was angered by Comey's assertion that Clinton had no criminal intent when she mishandled highly classified information on her private server, said officials familiar with the president's thinking.
..
"Federal law is clear regarding classified materials: intent is not relevant [to mishandling classified information]," the White House official said.

“So tired of the muck stuck on top of the truth. Clinton needs to be prosecuted. This is what it is all about. Obama is right there with it. This scandal compared to Watergate is 1000 to 1 Hiroshima’s. We let this go, the Republic will die. This is why the left of all stripes is fighting to the death.”
BUMP!
My take is that he was fired because of comments like this: ‘I could not demonstrate intent to release classified information’
He wasn’t even going to recommend arresting Huma Abedin...
When it comes to disclosing classified information, intent (unlike for other crimes) is IRRELEVANT. That right there means that Comey was a) unaware of the law or b) choosing which law to follow and which one not to. Both reasons to fire him.
Lets get a new FBI director, and lets get some convictions on this email mess.

Comey gets it. He thought he would get away with it.
It looks like Comey’s firing is going to have as many reasons as Hillary’s “Why I lost the election” marathon.
Americans are the only ones who hold the ‘weasel’ in such low esteem.
Back during the Bush Admin, our UN ambassador used the phrase ‘Axis of Weasels’ in a speech at the UN and everybody looked around at each other like ‘What the hell does that mean? What is he talking about?..............
No school has a ‘weasel’ as a mascot, but ‘Wolverines’ are the largest member of the weasel family along with the badgers...............
