Yes, Trump had every legal right to fire Comey, but he (and his followers) can’t expect that sacking the man who’s investigating your alleged crimes just when his investigation looks like it is starting to bear fruit is something that should be tolerated. Its another example of legalistic distraction and smokescreens. Like for example; “Bill Cosby never raped anybody, because the definition of rape means forcing someone to have sexual relations with you by the use or threat of violence.”

Cosby never used violence on his victims, because they were unconscious. So by the legal definition, it wasn’t rape. At this point, the conversation degenerates into a long and confusing semantic debate that has nothing to do with the crime involved, or with the determination of whether or not it indeed occurred, or by whom. In other words, we are no longer discussing if Mr Cosby did something wrong, but whether what he did was wrong. We have substituted the moral and practical question with an argument about dictionaries and we are (conveniently) letting Mr Cosby off the hook.

And it works both ways. Clinton was right when he said “I never had sexual relations with that woman” because in his dictionary oral sex was not REALLY sexual relations. Of course, Mr Clinton was not being investigated about his perfectly legal sexual activities, but about his alleged illegal real estate activities.
