Hillary would not have fired Comey...

[cynatnite]

Unlike tRump, she understands optics and she knows what kind of backlash she would have gotten.

1. I was thinking that too. It would have been politically impossible.

Even though she would have had a valid reason.

And how ridiculous is Sarah Huckabee Sanders? "If Hillary had won the election--which thank God she didn't...."

Who talks this way about their former opponent?

2. Exactly, for the same reason Obama didn't fire him. n/t

[LisaM]

3. She wouldn't have fired him on her own behalf.

She might have fired him in a role-reversal situation; if he'd actively hurt someone else. The way Obama should have done.

4. We were told that she was going to fire him the day after the election.

And I never saw a poster disagreeing or disapproving of that.

7. Told specifically by whom of any notable measure?

Told specifically by whom of any notable measure? Or are you simply bringing up irrelevant and past speculations to better appear clever, regardless of what you failed to see in disapproval?

5. My theory was that Obama would have given Comey a face saving of resigning if Hillary won.

[Txbluedog]

6. No President besides Trump would have fired Comey

It is not the most politically astute of moves and I am surprised that Ryan and the cabal did not advise him against it

[aquamarina]

8. I totally agree.

9. Who better to investigate Trump w/o looking like it's payback?

Obama didn't go after W, but HRC would be allowing the FBI to pursue an ongoing probe. That's a large part of Comey's reasoning for not outing Trump before the election, "I went after them both".
