There are liberal politicians and pundits now claiming that if Trump was going to fire Comey, he should have fired Comey sooner.

Rosenstein was nominated Jan. 13 and confirmed April 25.

Trump fired Comey at the recommendation of his Deputy AG, who didn't take office until 2 weeks earlier.

EXACTLY !!! The FBI director reports to the Deputy AG, not the AG. It is from the recommendation of the Deputy AG, that the President makes his decision. As you said, thanks to Schumer, et al., he was only confirmed 2 weeks ago.

I wonder if he had work he was doing at home in the belief he would be certainly confirmed.
