... The case against Comey was set out .. by Deputy Attorney General Ron Rosenstein, who said he “cannot defend” how Comey had treated Clinton ...

The gist of the charge against Comey was that he had been unfair to Clinton. But just one week ago, Trump had tweeted: “FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!” ...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) asked. . “does anyone seriously believe @realDonaldTrump fired the top person investigating his ties to Russia because he was unfair to Hillary?”
