The most entertaining thing about this whole James Comey ordeal from the last not-quite-a-day has been how fast the Democrats have been to scream bloody murder about his firing. After all, they were the ones out for Comey’s head after Hillary lost the election.
Even Stephen Colbert’s audience was cheering the news. That is, until Colbert told them what the approved party narrative was –

Shorter leftists:
It’s because Donald Trump was the one to do the firing, honestly. The man could cure cancer and the left would still hate his guts.
Which brings us to the next question – how would have things gone if President Hillary had been the one to hand Comey the pink slip? Would the Democrats be cheering or flipping out?
Hillary’s former campaign minion, Robby Mook, was asked that very question on MSNBC and he just giggled and said he wasn’t sure because Hillary’s not president (and thank goodness for that) –
I’m kind of surprised that Stephanie Ruhle pushed the question as hard as she did. Usually, they just let the Hillary fangirls off on the easy non-answer and get on with the Trump bashing. But maybe Ruhle just wanted the contrast of “See! See! Queen Hillary wouldn’t have done it! Her little Mook even said so! All hail the Queen!”
Let me answer the question for Mook: Hillary would not only have fired James Comey, but she would have ruined his career so completely and utterly that the man would barely be able to get a job at the local Dairy Queen. He dared to stand up against her and question her motivations and I’m not surprised that the Clinton Machine hasn’t already come after him.
The Clintons are just vindictive that way. But you already knew that.
