Because Comey is keeping the Russia investigation going as cover and it will look bad firing Comey. But what’s really happened here is Comey and the whole Obama team are caught spying on their American political opponents.
You are exactly right. That sums it up nicely.
I was wondering if Trump prefers Congress impeach Comey, since both sides are mad at him, after all. It’s possibly the only thing the two parties can come together long enough to agree on.
Comey is a dignified man. I believe if it gets much hotter, he will decide to resign on his own.
