Right to fire Comey

Back in July 2016, I wrote a letter to the editor calling for James Comey to resign from the FBI.

His missteps in acting as a prosecutor in the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton was a complete breach of his duties as director.

His enormous lack of judgment and chutzpah in continuing to tarnish the FBI is the real issue, not the timing of his firing.

That mainly Democrats are piling on to blame President Trump is a phony political ploy.

We are a nation of laws, aren’t we?
