The FBI chief forfeited his credibility with his 2016 interventions!
President Trump fired James Comey late Tuesday, and better now than never. These columns opposed Mr. Comeys nomination by Barack Obama, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director has committed more than enough mistakes in the last year to be dismissed for cause.
Mr. Trump sacked Mr. Comey on the advice of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, a former U.S. Attorney with a straight-up-the-middle reputation who was only recently confirmed by the Senate. In a memo to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Mr. Rosenstein cited Mr. Comeys multiple breaches of Justice Department protocol in his criminal investigation of Hillary Clintons mishandling of classified material.
The FBI isnt supposed even to confirm or deny ongoing investigations, but in July 2016 Mr. Comey publicly exonerated Mrs. Clinton in the probe of her private email server on his own legal judgment and political afflatus. That should have been the AGs responsibility, and Loretta Lynch had never recused herself.

Deputy AG said Comey mishandled the investigation of Clintons use of private email...
Comey’s what deserved dismissal? Why did they make “Comey” possessive. Strange.
The dismissal of Comey that was deserved.
Of course.
