The problem is that Trump praised Comy for the same action he is now firing him for.  In other words as usual, Trump word means nothing.  It changes as fast and fluid as the sea and always to his benifit.  Even if Comy firing is legit, talk about just bone headed timing just like firing Flynn or the list of other firings he has done.  

I'm not defending it, I'm just saying let's not create some double standard here. Hillary woud have fired him for the same hypocritical reasoning (they loved him when he recommended that Hillary should not be prosecuted, but then they turned on him when he directed more attention to the emais and wanted to reopen the investigation). Comy made enemies on both sides, he was losing his job no matter what (and both sides are hypocrites; praising and roasting the man depending on who's side he is helping or harming that particular week).

With the massive difference being that Obama didn't fire him while he was investigating Hillary's mails, which would roughly be the equivalent to what is happening here. There's nothing hypocritical about it.
