Actually, almost everyone with basic reasoning skills believes Comey's handling of the email investigation was a significant part of his dismissal and it is the official reason for his dismissal after 'newly confirmed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein penned an extensive memo for Attorney General Jeff Sessions outlining concerns with Comey’s conduct during and after the Clinton email probe where, among other things, he said he could not defend Comey’s handling of the end of the investigation, and could not understand “his refusal to accept the nearly universal judgment that he was mistaken.” '
Except I was referring to our representatives in Congress, so "basic reasoning skills" don't apply.

Seriously, though, although
Rosenstein's memo was articulate and well thought-out, it doesn't answer the question of why actions that were taken 10 months ago require Comey's removal within hours of the memo being written. Was Sessions and Trump unaware of these things until now? Were they both so taken aback at the magnitude of these sudden revelations that they had to get rid of him before the day was through?
Perhaps the decision was made earlier and they were just waiting for Rosenstein to finish his memo. But the abruptness of this firing is still disconcerting.
At least, I hope that is what happened, and nothing more nefarious.

What your question really leads to is the opening for fake news and spin that can feed preconceived outcomes.
Well, duh!

But, seriously, tell me who didn't think of the "Saturday Night Massacre" when they heard of Comey's sudden firing? Didn't it cross your mind, too, when you heard that the head of the FBI, while they were investigating the President, was suddenly fired by the President? Just about everyone I've talked to did. The comparison is so obvious, the Administration should have anticipated it. Don't blame me for insinuating the obvious.
Perhaps the problem is that Trump thinks of himself as America's Boss. That he is the CEO, who can make decisions as he sees fit, and everyone must accept them. Because, well, he's the Boss.
What he needs to realize is that he really is a Civil Servant. He is working for us, the American people, and is accountable to us. So when he makes a major decision--especially one that looks like it could be tainted--he needs to handle it carefully and make sure we understand the reasons behind it
before he makes it. Just so that it doesn't look bad, like this one does now.
Seriously, I've read
both Democrat and Republican congressmen questioning this decision. Perhaps none of them have "basic reasoning skills." Or perhaps Trump just stepped in it again.
