Inept or crooked, Comey deserved to be fired
Deroy Murdock, Contributor
NEW YORK — While President Donald J. Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey on May 9, Barack Obama should have sacked him July 5. Comey's behavior in the E-mailgate investigation suggests either staggering incompetence or a clumsy effort to whitewash Hillary Clinton's crimes.
During Clinton's July 2 interrogation at FBI headquarters, she was not under oath. How could the FBI possibly reach in its probe "the last step of a year-long investigation" — as Comey described it at a July 7 House Government Oversight Committee hearing — without a potential perjury conviction hanging over her head? Given Clinton's peanut-allergy-like aversion to the truth, not swearing her in confirmed either the FBI's grotesque ineptness or a deliberate loophole to allow her to slither free.
