The Left is completely up in arms at now-former FBI Director James Comey’s dismissal. While I find quite a bit of irony in this fact, since they all wanted his head on a stick during the election, I can empathize with their concern. From all the reports released thus far, there is zero evidence to support the claim that Trump or his team were in cahoots with the Russians. However, to fire the head of the FBI while he is in the middle of an investigation does give a potential perception issue, and I, for one, am a big believer in the saying that perception is reality.

At the same time, I agree with the decision to replace Comey. I do not in any way doubt his dedication to the United States, nor do I want his reputation smeared because of all that has occurred over the last year and a half. I do not believe that you can find anyone who could honestly say that he was not placed in a losing situation, especially after Loretta Lynch acci-purposely met with Bill Clinton to have a private discussion in the middle of the investigation into his wife’s emails. After that meeting blew up in her face, she put Comey in the spotlight by essentially abdicating her prosecutorial powers to him. To be fair, there was simply no way he was going to escape from harm.
