Discussion: Top Clinton Campaign Staff Express Shock At Comey Firing

Comey was about to lay the boom on Trump, I bet.

Yeah, I think the dead giveaway was Trump’s line in his letter about how he appreciated that Comey told him “on three separate occasions” that he, Trump, was not personally under investigation.

I suspect what happened was that as the Russia investigation has proceeded, and evidence of wrongdoing within Trump’s inner circle has mounted, Trump realized that either he now WAS a direct target of the investigation, or at least that the investigators were closing in and that he soon would be a target.

If so, then I would interpret that line as a not-so-veiled warning to others in the FBI that if they’d like to keep their jobs, they’d better turn their attention elsewhere.
