Trump campaign and transition advisor says James Comey should leave.

And, what a coincidence, his argument echoes the one Fox news analyst Dennis Kucinich just made.

Comey, they insist, can't be fair to DT because Hillary.

The DT people are running SCARED.

Time for 'J. Edgar' Comey to take his leave

The political pressure on the director after his bungling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails (first announcing it closed and conclusive, then reopened and closed again in the closing weeks before a bitterly contested presidential election in which the email scandal was a major issue) threatened to tar his reputation forever as an inept and partisan operator.

Leading Democrats continue to place the blame for Clinton's loss squarely on Comey's shoulders, despite their own candidate's countless political missteps. What better way to demonstrate his lack of partisanship than to be blamed equally by Republicans for the revelation of a politically damaging investigation of the president supposedly elected by Comey's own misdeeds?

Dennis Kucinich: FBI Director Comey must recuse himself from Trump-Russia probe

Someone on the House or Senate Judiciary Committee should ask for the FBI agents’ time sheets over the past eight months to see if the Bureau was actually investigating, or whether this is another case of abuse of process — using an alleged investigation to smear a candidate.

A torrent of leaks and partisan charges has been passed off as fact. But was the Russia investigation, excuse the expression, a red herring?

SNIP

Director Comey has put himself in an untenable position. He has a vested interest in focusing on Trump and Russia, because that narrative diverts our attention from his personal effect on the outcome of the 2016 election.

At best, this is the textbook definition of a conflict of interest. At worst, it’s bait-and-switch.

However, as the article insinuated, I don't think he is capable of playing both sides of the fence.
